FEDERAL JUDGE ANDERSON DIS
MISSES CASE AGAINST
NEWSPAPER MEN
REVIEWS CIRCUMSTANCES
AND QUESTIONS GROUDS FOR
ACTION AND JURjSDlC-
TON OF COURT

Indianapolis, Oct. 12.-Federal Judge
Anderson today dismissed the proceed
ings against Delavan Smith and Chas.
K. Williams, proprietors of the Indian
apolis News, who were resisting re-
moval to Washington for trial on
charges of criminal libel in publishing
articles alleging their was a corrupt
profit Of $28, 900 900 in sale of the Pana-
ma canal to the United States.
That man has read the history Uf
our institutions to little purpose said
Anderson, In conclusion, who does not
view with apprehension a proceeding
which will permit citizens to be drag
ged from their homes to seat of gov
eminent for trial under the circum-
stances of this case. The defendants
are discharged"
II am of the opinion" said Ander-
son, that the fact that certain per-
sons are called thieves and 'swind-
lers' does not constitute libel per Sc.
las the former president said, it
Is the duty of newspapers to print
the news and tell the truth about it.
1t is the duty Of a newspaper to draw
differences for the people"
The court reviewed what is called
many peculiar circumstances about
the whole Panama canal business"
and added:
"A number of people thought there
was something not just exactly right
about that transaction, and l say for
myself l feel a natural curiosity to
know what the real truth was. A COM
mittee Of the senate was appointed to
investigate, asked VIM. Nelson Crom-
we'll certain questions, but he stood
upon his privilege as an attorney and
refused to answer Cromwell stood up
on this privilege whenever questions
were asked an answer to which might
reflect upon him or his assistants; but
whenever a question was asked giving
their behalf, he answered. To my mind
that is just grounds for suspicion.
did these defendants, in publishing
the matter complained of, act hon
estly in discharge of the duty which
l have spoken of, or were they actuat-
ed by a desire to injure the persons
affected? 1t it were necessary to de-
eide this case upon a question of privi-
lege or lack of malice, l would hesitate
quite a while before concluding it was
my duty to send these people to Wash
ington for trial. But the indictment
charges them with comission of q
crime in the District of Columbia. The
constitution Of the United States pro-
vides the accused shall be tried in the
state or district where the offense Is
committed.
when these defendants put in tho
papers matters of a libellous nature in
to the p%ostoffice at Indianapolis, either
1t became a separate and Independent
crime in every district and state into
which the papers went, or there was
but one crime, and that there.
Il think that between these two
views the latter is the more reasonable
and correct one. Where people print
a newspaper here for circulation
throughout counties and districts there
is but one publication and that one
here. If that is true. there was no
publication in Washington. If the his
tory of liberty means anything the
prosecuting authority should not have
the power to drag citizens there for
trial"
