The grand jury, at its sitting yesterday
afternoon, found true bill against Jerome
b. Bell. editor Of the Sunday Star. charp-
ing him with criminal libel against Clerk
Of the Peace Winfield s. Quigley.
An Indictment was found in this con-
nection several months ago, but because
the grand jury understood that it was
merely necessary for the fact to be estab-
lished that the article referred to had been
printed not necessarily that it was libelous
the indictment was quashed. The
matter was taken up again yesterday
with the result as stated above.
