upon the track, Thompson applied
his reverse brakes, but too late The

Indianapolis, Oct. 12.-Judge A,
b. Anderson, of the United States
court, today dismissed the proceed
ings against Delavan Smith and Chas.
r Williams, proprietors of the In
dianapOlis News, who We're resisting
removal to the District of Columbia
for trial under grand jury indict-
ment charging them with criminal
libel in publishing articles alleging
that there was corrupt profit of
S2S, 100000 in the sale of the Pana-
ma canal to the United States.
THAT man has read the history OF
our institutions to little purpose,
said Judge Anderson, who does not
view with apprehension the success
of such a proceeding as this to the
end that citizens could be dragged
from their homes to the District of
Columbia, the seat of government,
for trial under the circumstances of
this case. The defendants are dis
charged.
Il believe the fact that certain
persons were called thieves and
'swindlers does not constitute libel
