General Meeks, of counsel for defense

charged with the murder of former
Senator E. w. Carmack. today extend
ed the unwritten law to cover editors
who attack private or public men.
You talk of the liberty of the press,
he exclaimed to the jury. why, gen.
tlemen, no man lives who believes
more firmly in the liberty of the press
than 1 do.
But when a man in an editorial pc
sition turns the liberty of the press
into license, and undertakes to defame
and defile you and your family, what
are you going to do?
1.-The prosecution will tell you that
you have recourse in the courts. Yes
and you get judgment for $4,000
against a man not worth the price OF
a plug of tobacco. Is that satisfac-
ton?
"Oh, gentlemen, tell you the streets
of this, our city, have run red before
with the blood of men who Improperly
used other mems names in public
prints"
General Meeks in a five-hour speech
painted the defendants as the finest

little air they are getting, but this pipe
is SO bent and twisted that it is impos-
sible to supply food through it,
