way company, asked for a warrant against

said:
"Your Honor, l will ask for a warrant
against Julian il he doesn't quit threaten
ing me from the other side of the table
while / am conducting this examination.
He has been making remarks all afternoon,
and roaring about what he would do with
me because / didn't file certain a~fidavits
in the case, which were the complainant's
property and didn't have to be fled with the
other papers,
Julian arose to speak, but was ordered to
sit down. the Court sustained Mr. Clarke
in his contention that the papers need not
be fled. g
Ralph NJ. Holland, J%ulian's attorney,
asked that the case be dismissed on the
ground that the story was not gfeen by
Julian. The Court read a part Of Section
274A Of the Penal Code, which stated that
any one implicated In the giving put Of an
alleged libellous article was responsible
ton on the ground that the Magistrate
issued a warrant for Julian on insufficient
evidence. The motion was denied.
