JUDGE ANDERSON ON RIGHTS
OF THE PRESS.

Judge A. B. Anderson, Of the Federal
district court at indianapolis, has dis
missed the proceedings against Delavan
smith and Charles R. Williams, OF the
indianapolis News, who were resisting
removal to the District Of Columbia for
trial under grand jury Indictment
charming them with having committed
criminal libel in the attacks they made
on the sale of the Panama canal to
the United States. 1t Is probable the
decision Of the court viii give general
satisfaction.
Judge Anderson in his opinion points
out that there were many peculiar CIR
eumstanees about the whole Panama
canal business" He says, what every
man who followed closely the course
nj events IN this matter knows, that
the revolution IN Panama and the cir
cumgtsnces concerning 1t, were unusual
and peculiar The sudden shift from
the Nicaragua route To the Panama
rcutc. for instance, Is a matter which
many good people feel has never been
nrobed 10 the bottom. They w0fsld be
glad to have more light on this phase
Of canal matters and, IN TACT, on the
whole series OF canal transactions up
70 the conclusion of the purchase by
this Government of the Panama canal
property. As Judge Anderson says
concerning his own feelings in the mat
ter. there is "a natural curiosity to
know what the real truth was"
In disnissing the case, Judge An
derson saws: THAT man has read the
history of our institutions to little pur-
pose who does not view with appre-
tension the success Of such a proceed
ing as this TO the end that citizens
could be dragged from their homes to
tho District of Columbia, the seat OF
government. for trial under the cir
cumstances of this case"
He also observes:
a newspaper has certain duty to
perform. As a former President has
said: 1t is the duty of a newspaper
10 print the news and 10 tell the truth
about it It is the duty of a news
paper TO draw differences for the Peo.
pie"
1t has been difficult to believe from
the first that the outcome Of this case
could be other than that what it has
been Ii has been surrounded with 700
much Of an air Of politics and of the
idea that Government officials cannot
be freely criticised to make it possible
70 feel it was altogether meritorious.
Judge Anderson has spoken out plain
~, and what he says is to the point.

 The physician was severely censured by the Hains lawyers for expressing this opinion and afterwards hOtly de- nied having made the statement cred ited to him. John F.

MRS. MINNIE CROSBY C0NFEssEs
 TO CRIME.
Says She Was Forced By Her Husband To PuiI Trigger Which Sent
 Contents Into Head of An Alabama Man.

R. McShane. whose decomposed body was yesterday found In seelud- ed spot near the Bouie Street bridge in Leaf River swamp.
 She ssobbingly admitted that she had been Intimate with McShane. having met him upon numerous occasions close to the spot where he was killed. She said that her husband had intercepted the correspondence between McShane and herself and by threat of death if she dlsobeyed. had forced her to assist in dseoying McShane Into the swamp, where he might be slRin- M
 When McShane kept tifo appoiut- snent he haa made with Mrs. Crosby, near the bridge on Easter sunday, his greeting was interrupted by the order of the husband emerging from a clpinp of bushes, to throw np his hands, Mrs. Crosby says her husband then ievelled his guns upon McShane and compelled her to pull the trigger.
 The full charge. of the gun struck McShane in the mouth. He ran q few steps, moaned pitifully. and fell. ex- piring almost instantly.
 McShane recently came here rom Alabama. He was q young brick mason.
