Judge Ingram Shifts Scene of Ii
bel Suit Trial to Library
Building.

Argument on the instructions to be
given the jury in the 100000 libel
suit Of Clyde w. Saunders against the
Williams Printing Company and Adon
A. Yoder was begun before Judge
John II. Ingram. sitting In the Su-
preme Court OF Appeals chamber. at
II o'clock Saturday. The evidence
was concluded Friday afternoon.
The change IN the scene of the trial
Of this now famous case from the Law
and Equity Court room, City Hall. to
the Supreme Court chambers, in the
State Library building. was made for
the better convenience OF the attor-
neys and the presiding judge.
The lawyers found that II would be
necessary to make reference to many
legal tones during the argument. To
send out to the State Library from
time to time for the law books need
ed would be extremely announcement.
Likewise 1t would occasion delays that
might be avoided by emitting the Law
and Equity Court over to the State
building.
With the consent Of Judge Ingram,
they obtained permission to use the
court chamber most accessible to the
law library.
Argument ON Instructions.
The instructions prepared by the
opposing counsel being formally sub
mitted to the judge-the argument
YVES opened by David Leake. for the
plaintiff. He began by reading from
decisions in different cases involving
the liberty of the press.
Among the decisions quoted was
one rendered in libel suit by Presi-
dent William III. Taft when he was
on the Federal bench.
Reference was made to a cause
celebre. in which Senator Addicks. OF
Delaware. the promoter OF extensive
gas manufacturing interests in Mas
suchusetts. which brought upon him
the pseudonym Gas" Addicks, and Ia
another celebrated case, that OF the
Star Publishing Company, of Cincin.
natl. against Donahue.
On the instruction, THAT an ACT
which amounts to reckless disregard
for the rights Of others is equivalen,
to actual malice" there was no con.
test between the attorneys.
The srowd Of spectators In evidence
at each session OF the court up to
the close OF Friday afternoon did moi
appear Saturday. Less than half q
score of persons followed Judge In
gram and the lawyers to the Supreme
Court chamber.
The case will be submitted to the
Jury probably next Tuesday.
