SPOKESMAN REVIEW HELD.
GUILTY OF LIBEL.

"one half idle pretense and the
other half deliberate favoritism,"
exerted in behalf of favored con-
tractors by Quinn, chief foreman
of inspectors; that the removal Of
Quinn, which had just taken place
on the suggestion of City Engineer
Ralston, was IAN effective blow at
graft and jobbery." The closing
portion of the editorial alleging
graft and jobbery on Quinn's part
was the chief point In the suit and
the one on which the jury returned
the 1899 portion of the verdict.
In the second editorial the wheel
barrow method of measuring the
ingredients in sidewalk building
was commented upon, and the
statement made that the quantity
of sand and gravel used was
gerater and the quantity of cement
used less than called for In the
contracts given out by the city. 1t
was stated that city inspectors
actually permitted contractors to
use from 20 to 40 per cent more
sand and gravel than the contracts
permitted.
The Review undertook to justify
its charges and made an elaborate
defense, in which while it was
shown that while there might have
been dereliction of duty by the
inspectors, it failed to prove any
dishonesty or graft on the part Of
Quinn.
The Review devoted long ac-
counts to the trial from which a
great many points favorable to the
plaintig were excluded, making it
appear each morning as IL the Re-
view was having it all it's own way.
The evident object was to array
public sentiment in behalf of the
defendant in the case, regardless
of the testimony.
Under the editorials on which
Quinn recovered, Daggett, Nc
Intyre, ONO, Gill and Roy are con-
sidered to have an even better
chance to recover than had Quinn,
and surprise will not be great IL
they likewise begin action Off dam
ages. Alex. Winston conducted the
case for Quinn and was opposed
by Fl. M. Stephens.
The Review will likely appeal,
but lawyers who have followed the
case believe that the higher courts
will sustain the jury on the actual
evidence.

RALSTON GOES
RIGHT AHEAD

City Engineer RaIston stated to-
day that he is hurrying the work
OF completing plans and speciflca-
tons for the Monroe street bridge
as originally outlined, notwith-
standing assertions of Jay sP.
Graves, who says his company
plans to fill in the south end of the
structure. which would cheaper the
cost of bridge and mean new
plans.
Mr.. Ralston, when a report of
the sort was first given to him,
quit work on the original plans.
The council told him to go ahead
again. The councils action viii
prove expensive if the council
asks the engineer to prepare an.
other set of plans in keeping with
the changed conditions in conse-
quence of the Graves plans.
The plans which the engineer
is now at work on would be use
less in face of the changed condi-
tion If the latter are accepted.

Jury Brings in Verdict for
$1,000 in Trial of
Quinn Case.

The Spokesman-Review was to-
day by jury in Judge Sullivan's
court found guilty of publishing a
libel on f. F. Quinn, former chief
inspector of sidewalks for the city
and required to pay Quinn $1,000
damages.
There were two counts in the
case, based on different publica-
tons, on the first of which the jury
gave the plaintiff 1899 and on the
second count gave him 81. The
costs, to be paid by the Review,
will be two or three times as great
as the verdict for damages, it is
estimated
The case has been on trial all
week, and was given to the jury a
few minutes before o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The verdict was
returned into court after 10 o'clock
this morning and a poll o. the jury
by order of the defendant showed
that unanimous agreement had
been reached. The jury that tried
the case was composed of p. o.

Quinn's suit was based on pub
lieations made editorially in the
Review on Saturday, June z, and
Sunday, June 8, of this year. The
first editorial was headed, BLOW
at Graft and Jobbery," and the
second bore the caption, How the
People Were Defrauded." In the
first editorial it was charged that

UNJUST To
GIVE AWAY
FRANCHISES
Mayor Explains Reasons in
Letter to Signers
of Petition.

Although Mayor Moore will not
interfere with the granting of a
franchise to the Traction Co. for
eastern extensions, his attitude
with regard to revenue he believes

In reply to your petition advo-
eating the signing of the so.called
Graves ordinance While | appre-
ciate your need of transportation

to give away the valuable fran
chises without proper recon-
pense to the city, and the recon-
pense in these franchises is en-
tirely inadequate
IF, as the petitioners claim that
these lines will not pay for several
years, the corporation should be
exempt from paying until such time
as the pioneer stage has been
passed, then they should be com
PEELED to pay an amount monthly
in proportion to their earnings.
1t is false economy and unjust
to the whole city to give away
these valuable franchises, and no
city of any size in this country to-
day Is doing it, They are asking
that the city's partnership in the
value of these franchises must be
recognized either in direct pay

This witness was Superintendent
Mallory, of the Illinois reform
school, who was prepared to testl-
fy that Barkar had served three
years in that institution for bur-
glary and larceny.
Mallory had come all the way
from Illinois at the request of the
state but was not permitted. to
place his testimony before the
jury. as no evidence was intro
duced as to Barkar's previous
character.
The blue uniform of the United
States army, worn by Barkar at
the time he killed Messenger, was
introduced in evidence today at
the request of the defense, There
were no blood stains on the uni
form. The state used the uniform
later, as Stanley Webster picked
it up in his talk to the jury and
showed how Barkar had cut off his
corporals stripes in order to
avoid detection.
