Novel Methods Employed in
 Journalistic Rivalry
HOW VICTIMS ARE CAUGHT
Edgar Allen Poe Figured In One of the Greatest Hoax Stories About Journey of Airship Across
 the Atlantic.
BY FREDERIC j. HAsklN.

Once upon a time there was absolute peace in the newspaper world of America. That was when there was only one pa per in Boston and not another on the continent. When the second journal was started in Boston an editorial war was immediately precipitated As long as personal journalism prevailed the rivalry among newspapers took the form of edi- torIal abuse of the enemy, but when the modern newspaper came into being, the battle-ground was removed from the editorial page to the news columns and the circulation statement The deliberate newspaper hoax was born of the bitter fight between newspapers of one class and another in the old days. The in tentional fake" as a wholly untrue or grossl. exaggerated news item is called in newspaper slang, was born of the Ge- sire Of the reporters to keep up with the demand for news, and at'the same time escape the tiresome leg work neces- Sary to find it.

"The law views with distrust the testi- mony of an accomplice on account of the motive he may have for laying the responsibility of his crime upon another,
 when. by so doing he may secure im- munty for his own participation in the crime charged For this reason the law exacts such corroboration and although the jury may believe that the testimony of an accomplice is true, still the jury codld not convict the defendant upon such testimony unless they further find

ACT TION FOR DIVORCE
GETS COMPLICATED
Peter BOsOne Takes a Hand to
Relieve His Brother,
James BOsOne.

Complications in the divorce suit
brought by Josephine Bosone against
her husband. James Bosonc, developed
yesterday when Mrs, Bosone filed a
complaint in intervention in the suit
brought by Peter Bosone against her
husband for an alleged Indebtedness of
5000. All the parties are Italians,
In the divorce complaint which Mrs.
Bosone filed against her husband Febru-
ary 4, 1907. she alleges that her hus-
band had so maltreated her that she
could no longer live with him. She
also averred that through their united
efforts and exertions they had acquired
real and personal property TO the value
of about $4,000. This property consists
principally Of saloon, restaurant and
dwelling house at Helper, Carbon coun-
ty, Utah
In the interval Peter Bosone filed n
suit against his brother, James, for 5000
for money alleged TO be due him which
he had loaned his brother. The latter
has admitted this indebtedness by filing
an affidavit in the court on March 25
Mrs. Bosone, however, alleges in her
new complaint that her husband and
his brother are acting In collusion
against her rights IN the property be-
longing TO her and her husband, so
that the brother may get Judgment
against the renl estate and make the
same lien thereon,
Mrs. Bosone AYERS that the alleged
indebtedness Of her husband to his
brother was contracted on March 2,
1904, and that the debt is now barred
by the statute of limitation. She fur
thcr sets forth that this Indebtedness
was Cancelled by transfer Of real es-
tate at Helper which her husband made
to his brother in the year 1905 and
that the debt has been fully discharged.
Mrs Bosone, therefore, asks judg-
ment against Peter Bosone for costs
and for such other relief as the court
may see fit to grant.
