London, Feb. 1.-After brief pro-
ceedings today, special grand jury
before Lord Chief Justice Alverstoue
cleared King George of imputations
against his personal character by find
ing Edward F. Mylius guilty of circu-
lating a libel Mylius was sentenced
to one years Imprisonment.
After sentence had been passed the
attorney general read a letter signed
by King George and authorizing the
attorney general to state publicly that
the writer had never been married ex-
cept to Queen Mary; had never gone
through a ceremony of marriage ex-
cept with the queen and that he would
have attended the proceedings to give
evidence to this effect except for the
advice Of the law officers Of the crown
that it would not be constitutional for
him to do so.
Mylius was charged with distributing
in England copies of The Liberator, a
Paris publication edited by Edward II.
James, and in which it was alleged that
his majesty, while prince Of Wales, had
contracted a Morganatic marriage with
the elder daughter of Admiral Sir
MlCItdCl seymour al IldJld III 4CJV
ADMIRAL. CALLED.
The crown called the admiral as a
witness and he testified that the daugh-
ter in question had never seen his
majesty until 1898, when the king
called upon the witness at Portsmouth
His only other daughter died in 1896
and Tor three 1ears preceding 3 hel
death had been with her father al
Malta, where he was commander-in-
chief of the Mediterranean squadron
The king had not visited Malta whils
the admirals daughters were there and
the younger daughter had never spoken
to him.
The defendant sought to have the
king summoned as a witness, but this
was refused on constitutional grounds
Then he demanded the kings presence
in the court. asserting that he could
not be legally tried in the absence OF
his accuser. Lord Chief Justice Alver-
stone again ruled against him. de-
claring that the defense knew perfect
