Our Libel Suit.

| One OF the rankest Lravesties on
justice ever perpetrated outside of
the domains of the Gar of Russia,
was pulled off IN the court of Justice
Wilcox Thursday, when the libel case
of McNulty, Jones and Metcalf VS..
c. G. Knappen came up for hearing.
The case came up on Monday be-
fore Boxer Justice Prindeville and a
change of venue was demanded and
an affidavit presented to the court
alleging bias and setting forth that
there were two justices nearer than
Wilcox, namely, Sumerville and
Cloal, and requesting that the case
be sent to the nearest justice as pro-
v!ded by law The affidavit also al
legged bias on the part of Justice
Wilcox and that the defendent could
not have a falr and impartial trial
before the said Wilcox owing TO
prejudice and bias. The case vas
sent 20 Wilcox, however, and when
1T came up for trial. all the plaintiffs
were present in the room, lined up
against the WALL but not one of the
bunch dared to 20 upon the stand
ana swear that the articles published
were not true. The information
charged KnappeD with publishing
false statements regarding these gen.
tlemen, YET they offered no evil
dence whatever to show that the
statements we're false The states
attorney offered newspaper in ev-
idence that might or might not have
been The paper in which the ARTICLES
were published, for all the Justice
knew-he never looked at it or read
it--and then denied the motion of
Knappen's attorney to dismiss the
case and held him to the circuit
court under $500 bonds, which we're
promptly furnished Co.. ment IS
