TELL EDITOR TRUTH
Three Franklin County Citizen.
Mulctsd for Giving the Editor a
LibeIous Story for PubIication-lm-
portant Decision.

Iowa Falls, April 16.-"Be careful
what you tell the editor is the moral
to be deducted from a libel suit Just
closed in the district court of Franklin
county in which it cost three well
known citizens $1,000 for expressing
their opinions regarding certain
woman and case in court in which
she was involved. Some months ago
there was case against man named
Damn in which he was charged with
an attempt to assault the person OF
the daughter of certain Mrs. Jensen,
who was the principal witness In the
case. She made certain statements at
the preliminary hearing and the Lat
Inner Star, after the trial, published an
editorial headed The Damn Case
Cleared Up" in which it was init
mated that Mrs Jensen made state
ments at the preliminary that were
|contradicted at the subsequent trial
Pduring which young Damn plead guilty
to the charge Of simple assault ana
was fined. Mrs. Jensen took excep-
tons to the published statements and
Instituted suit for libel In which the
editor and three we'll known citizens
OF Latimer. Messrs. Thomas Jasper
son senior and junior, and John Damn
were made co-defendants, for 1t was
claimed by the editor that he obtained
his information from these gentlemen.
A motion was sustained 10 give the
informants and the editor separate
trials, resulting in the former baing
tried at the present term OF the dis
trict court and resulting in the Jury
returning a verdict Of the above
amount. Just what the defendants
told the editor was not clearly proven.
but sufficient evidence was adduced
to show that 1t was ifrom that source.
the quill pusher' got his information
for the article which Mrs Jensen
claims accused her OF being dishonest,
untruthful and unworthy to be believ
ed, and that she had testified falsely
and had committed the crime of per-
Jury.

the debate. defining terms and laying a
foundation from which his colleagues
built their structure. He alleged the

the limitation of the output and law

ployer are taken away. William II.

effective speech of the evening, show
ed for Coe that personal liberty was
rot taken away. but the rule of the ma
jority enforced and refuted the argu-
ment that the closed shop interfered
