MADE PLANS
FOR A SPREE.
New York Justice May be Charg.
ed With BIaCkmaiI-- deuel.
"Fadaan FanCies".


NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Failure by
New YorK society leaders to subscribe
for the work "Fads and Fancies" was
coincident with ''roasts" in Town Top
les whiletJustice j. NJ. Deuel. was active
ly intere sted in both publications. This
was CLEARLY shown to the jury in the
trial of Justice Deuel's case of crimi
nal libel against Norman Hapgood, ed
itor of Cbllier's Weekly.
Justicel Deuel. denied that there was
anything more than coincidence in the
refusals no subscribe for the 81 500
book au kthe unpleasant paragraphs
in TownfT opics, but James w. Os-
borne, lawyer for Hapgood, presented
to the jury Photographic copies of GER
tain pagesR the paper for three years,
and then TIL, questions ran like this,
Justice Deuel. being on the stand:
Did John Smith refuse to subscribe
for 'Fads and Fancies?"
"He did"
Il ask the jury to read the paragraph
about John Smith in the issue of Town
Topics of such and such dates"
And the paragraph was always there
and invariably unpleasant. For John
Smith the former assistant district
attorney read such names as DR.. w.
Seward Webb, X. II. Wilson, Cornelius
Vanderbilt and other names of society
leaders of this city.
Deuel. was confronted with a letter
he admitted he wrote to NJ. Z. Wooster,
saying:
Il wish you would report to me ev-
cry n who positively rejects the prop
osition."
Wooster is the man to whom Deuel.
wrote the famous letter. Point your
gun at them and they'll come down,
like Davy Crockett's COON" He also
wrote to Wooster in a short note, "Get
those fellows on your list, and we'll
have a spree"
Letters from Colonel Mann were in
troduced in the suit to show he receiv-
ed 5000 shares of stock from Count
Reginald Ward and that he gave or
ders to ''let up" on Henry T. Sloane
and be mice to the McCormicks.
There was a rumor afloat before the
Hapgood case was resumed that Jus.
tice Deuel. contemplated resigning from
the bench, but this he denies.
Unless he takes this step many of his
colleagues in legal practice believe that,
upon his w statement given under
oath, steps must be taken at the end Of
the trial now going on to bring him be-
fore the appellate division of the SUI
preme court, which may remove him
from the place which he now holds and
disbar him from practice.
Mr.. Jerome and his assistants refused
to be questioned in regard to so deli
cate a proposition in the midst of the
trial in which Justice Deuel. is appear
ing as chief prosecuting witness.
