with the libel suits, aggregating 100000,
which he Is bringing against Hearsts

term. part II. Of the supreme court AT
the outset Justice Dayton was asked for
ruling on whether Mr.. Jerome must pro-
duce. as demanded by Clarence Shearn. Mr..
Hearst's attorney, the list of all those who
contributed to his campaign funds
Mr.. Shearn cited one of the editorials on
which the suits are based. in which 1t Is
alleged that Mr.. Jerome had received his
support from Criminals in corporate
finance" MI. Shearn said that in the an
swer made by the defendant it would be
asserted that such was actually the fact.
Mr.. Rand, counsel for Mr.. Jerome, argued
that the list, II 1t existed. was in posses
sion of Mr.. Cans. who should be subpoe-
naed to produce It,
Did Not Have the List.
Mr.. Shearn contended that the court had
the right to instruct Mr.. Jerome to produce
the list. even though 1t was not in his
physical possession. He referred to the
fact that Mr.. Cans Is now in Europe JUS
tice Dayton ruled that IL the list I'M
der Mr., Jerome's control he should produce
1t. Jerome, however, said he did not have
1t. and added:
Il don't know that such a list exists. 1
merely assume that Mr. Cans kept such a
list: that he wouldn't handle other peoples
money without keeping list of it. If Mr.
Cans were here. 1 would ask him to pro-
duce the list. You must understand that

Mr.. Shearn was unable to make any
Roadway and was forced to give up trying
to get the list. He then dropped the cam

LYNCHERS DISPERSED
CRISIS IN NEW ORLEANS SEEMS

NEW ORLEANS. July l9.-with the
peaceable dispersal early today of the
posse of 800 men. who had formed at
Gretna, La. to lynch the Italians con-
victed last night of the Lamana murder.
the crisis OF the kidnapping incident appears
to have been safely passed
This posse was the last OF several small
mobs which formed at widely separated
points and threatened the hanging OF the
italians If favorable opportunity presented
out two companies of state troops within
two hours after the verdict is believed to
have saved the Italians lives. The soldiers
arrived at the Hahnville Jail. where the
prisoners were confined shortly before mid
night In time to forestall plans which
were on foot to take posses thither from
New Orleans. Two more commands of state
troops, including a battery Of field artillery
with rapid firing guns were sent from New
Orleans to Hahnvile this morning
Blame the Jurymen.
Nearly one hundred soldiers guard the
lonely and exposed Hahnville jail today, and
1t may be necessary to keep them on duty
there until the Italians are removed to a
safer place. The prisoners must first be
sentenced.
Indignation over the jury's mild verdict
has grown considerably and many Of the re-
ports of the court proceedings. while they
show a fair trial. make comments concern
ing several turymen said to be large en-
ployers of Italian labor, which augment the
resentment
The police regulations in New Orleans
have been strongly enforced since last night.
in order to reduce to the minimum chances
for gatherings hostile to the convicted
Italians.

fore daybreak. signed writs of habeas cor

ing the persons of District Passenger

the Southern. charged with disregarding
the new passenger rate law.
The federal courtroom was crowded
when the court convened. Judge -derri-
man. representing the state at the instance
of Gov Glenn, could not be present until
afternoon, and the hearing the writ was
postponed until 40 pm. Messrs Wood
and Wilson, under sentence of thirty da, g
on the chain gang, were required to give
nominal bonds.
The interesting development was the serv-
ing of subpOenas Police Justice Rev
nolds. who passed sentence upon Wood
and Wilson. together with several others,
and they will be asked before the fedora
court to tell what they know about the
charge that the indictments against the
ticket agents here were planned and Is
sued from the office Of a local newspaper.
and that witnesses gainst the railroad
men were sought rather than voluntary.
