Mr. Duke Wins Out.

In the Court Calendar OF the
United States Supreme Court, pub
lished in the Chicago Record-H Herald
of April 9Th, appears the following
item:
629-The Morning Journal Associa-
tion, petitioner, VS. James II. Duke.
Petition for a writ of certiorari TO
the L.. S. Circuit Court of APP
peals for the second circuit submit
ted by Edward A. Sheppard in be-
half of Clarence j. Shearn for the
petitioner and by Abram ], Ross
and Alfred G. Petite for the re-
spondent.
This was an attempt on the part OF
the New York Journal Publishing
Co. to appeal from the decision Of
the New York Court Of Appeals to
the United States Supreme Court, on
a writ of certiorari. The result is
evidenced in the following telegram
which was received by Mr.. Duke
On Monday:
New York, April IL. 1904.
JAMES II. DUKE, Scooba, Miss:
Supreme Court denies motion.
Now they must settle .Congratula-
tons. ADRIAN j. ROSE.
Save for the act OF settlement. this
is the finale of the suit OF our towns
man Col J. II. Duke against the pub
fishers of the New York Journal for
defamation Of character, in which he
was awarded $4,000 damages.
The Journal people have put off the
"day of Judgment as long as pos
sible, but it has finally come.
Almost without exception, the
people Of Scooba and Kemper Coun-
ty are glad that this case is closed,
and doubly glad that it has ended
as it has. And Mr.. Duke is a hap
by man today. No man can rest
easy while the shadow of such a
charge darkens his future. But
such things try mems friends, and
Mr.. Duke has many-warm and
true. That he appreciates the loyal
friendship which has been expressed
by so many in word and 'ieed dur
ing this trying period of his career
goes without saying. and assuming
to ourselves the right to be his
mouthpiece in this matter, we ex-
tend to those dear friends his heart
felt gratitude. -Kemper Herald.
