The Mintuln m.tn did not seem to think there could be any doubt as to the Identity Of the assassin. and said there was no caance for him to escape the flnkertons, as he was so hemmed in Ly the Pinkertons he would be arr rested if he made a move before the arrival of the Arkansas officers and Getectives.

WHITE AND BLACKS HAD A WRANCLE Republican County Conven- tion Ended in a Row
 Yesterday.
PLEA FOR HARMONY
Was Without Success-Charges and Counter Charges Made-TWO
 Conventions Held.

While Dr. R. c. Thompson, chair man of the Jefferson County Repub- lican convention yelled goodbye and about fifty-five negro delegates sang "Auld Lang syne,'' Dr. A. G. Thompson, r Postmaster F. c. Furth, Charles Haycock, Alex Perdue, John $. Perdue, Dr. A. w. Troupe, E. A. s;hicker and other prominent Repub- licans, representing the various city wards walked out of the convention all taking the minutes of their paid assistant secretary with them yester- cay.
 The "bolt' took place after the leading white Republicans of this county had made every effort and of- fered every reasonable concession to bring about harmony ill Republican circles in this county, but failed, af- ter three hours of wrangling.
 The white Republicans bolted when the substitute motion of D. A. Shick- or, providing that the white Republi- cans be allowed to name their own delegates to the state convention, and that the colored delegates be given the privilege of doing the same thing in selecting their share of the dele gates, was defeated by vote of 55 to IT. The substitute motion was at tached to one of Ferd Havis, who dominated the affairs of the conven- ton throughout. in which he provid- cd for the appointment of commit tee of eleven to select the delegates, 10th white and colored. The origi- nal motion prevailed, and when Dr. R c. Thompson named seven negroes and four white men on the special committee, Dr. A. G. Thompson arose and in a neat speech declared that he wished the Party success in Arkan- sas, but that the white Republicans could not remain in the convention while such unfair methods were be- ing used and so little done to bring about harmony. While the delegates were leaving the convention hall, Chairman Thompson made speech in which he denounced the ''bolters'' and said that they would not be rec cgnized by the Republican party in the future.

 Ga,braith Damages. LIBEL NOT EXCUSED
LIBEL NOT EXCUSED
Case Gret Out of Incidents Following Formation of Gra,eling Dis.
 trict Here.

Little Rock, Ark, May 23.-In the Supp ne Court this morning the judg- ment of 'tt Jefferson County Circuit Court agairst Arthur Murray, pulp fisher of :; Q Pine Bluff Press Eagle. in favor of |. M Galbraith in the sum of S1,000 as compensatory damages for the putt 'cestion of an alleged lib. elous artic!.e was affirmed
 In Tass .ls, Il the case the Supreme oa.'. holds ..i.at there can not be in law alF eAtuse CT justification for ..ibel, and ulat the article referre l to i, lib24 Jus per SC, hence the af- fi"mance of the lower courts judg- ment.
 The case grew out of the incidents following the formation of a gravel ,ug district in Pine Bluff and the creation of a board of commissioners to carry on certain improvements in the district aG slhssith was treasurer of the board of commissioners. Mur- ray published an article in which there was a thinly-veiled insinuation that the citizens of the district had paid more money by approximately 5000 for a consignment than should r,lve been r@id; or, rather, that re- cords at hand indicated the gravel had been bought from the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Con- pany for about $3,000, and charged to the district in the sum of about $1O,- 000
 Following the publication of the ar- ticle Ga,braith, at .a public meeting of citizens in Pine Bluff explained the records so that all concerned ap- peared to be satisfied. Suit was then Instituted es:,nst Murray for libel in .an public.t'cn of the article. Murray set up as a defense that he did not publish the article through malice, but tnat, at rha time he believed, from !ic best C. nls knowledge, that the iacts all -se,l were true, and hence merely pull ':sned the statement in what he nelieved to be the interest of the taxpayers of the district He dis claimed any intention of injuring Gal 1raith or the other commis sioners without warrant.
 These matters were admitted to the jury as mitigating facts. and tending tc show that punitive damages should rot be assessed against the publisher. Tut only the actual c0n1pensatory damages due to the loss the plaintiff may have sustained in a business way through the publication of the article.
