After Scurrilous Attack.

After Scurrilous Attack.
Lewisburg. Pa. Dec. 10. - Congress
man Benjamin K Focht through his
attorneys, General Charles NJ. Clem.
ent. Of Sunbury. and District Attorney
Lloyd Stelninger. Of Lewisburg, insti'
tuted proceedings against G. Allen
Fegley, a local news dealer, for crimi'
nal libel.
Fegley has been circulating an an
onymous publication called the Wood
pecker." which Is alleged to be edited
by Bucknell college students, and II
every edition Of this publication BucF
nelrs professors fud Lewisburg meb
and women have cen assailed in a
scurrilous fashion.
In the edition CT. culated last week
Congressman Focht was assailed with
such virulence that his friends pre-
vailed upon him to bring the guilty to
Justice
A number OF these anonymous doci-
ments have been sent through the
mails, the penalty for which Is $4,000
fine and five years Imprisonment. inc
punishment for circulating libelous lit
erature by sale or otherwise, such as
the "Woodpecker." is also severe.
II is the belief that through this
proceeding Congressman Focht Will
disclose that a number Of his political
enemies are at the bottom OF the as
sault made upon him in the Wood
pecker." Congressman F'ocht's attor'
neys have already subpocnaed a mum
ber OF witnesses, and the hearing Is
exciting much interest. Fegley was
placed under $500 bail pending the
hearing.
