MALICE IN COMIC VALENTINES.

The Philadelphia comic valentine
case has reached another interesting
stage. II began with the sending Of
the offending missive last February
and was then enlivened by the recip.
tents lawyer demanding that the
sender be brought into court to an
swer to the charge of criminal libel.
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer Both
the complainant and defendant are
women and related by marriage and
the proceedings show an added bitter
ness on this account. Several months
after the charge was made the grand
jury returned bill of indictment and
then the lawyer for the defendant
filed a demurrer TO have this indict-
ment quashed. But the judge refused
to sustain it. He declared that valen-
tines of the character of the one under
discussion, in which the recipient was
alluded TO as scandalmonger, a busy.
body. a mischiefmaker and a person
OF unrestrained mendacity, afford am
pie grounds for suits of the character
instituted and that when such a libel.
