7. R. GETS VERDICT
COLONEL IN MICHIGAN L.
BEL ACTION.
EDITOR GIVES UP THE FIGHT
Newett Admitted That He Could Not
Find Witness Who Knew That
Mr.. Roosevelt Was Ever
Drunk.

Marquette, Mich.-Theodore Roose-
Welt has won his vindication. He has
proved he is not a drunkard and
never has been a drunkard and he
has proved it as conclusively as ever
case was proved in court.
More than that, he has proved as
nearly as a man may, by his intimates
of a lifetime, that he never has been
even slightly under the influence of
liquor and that he is abstemious as a
man may be and still not be a tee
totaler.
Colonel Roosevelt's libel suit
against George A. Newett, the Ish-
peming editor. ended abruptly.
Newett surrendered and withdrew
the charge of his paper that Roose-
welt gets drunk and that not infre-
quently." In a long statement read
in open court, he admitted he had
combed the country, but had found
not one single witness who could
testify he had seen Colonel Roosevelt
take liquors to excess. To all intents
and purposes he threw himself upon
Colonel Roosevelts mercy.
And then Colonel Roosevelt, unwill-
ing to assess upon Newett the heavy
damages he could have claimed,
arose in court and declared he had
achieved his object, disproved the
tale that did him such injury in the
last campaign and asked the court
to direct a verdict in his favor for
nominal damages only-which in
Michigan means six cents.
The six cents were paid and the
colonel will settle his own costs of
close of $4,000.
1t ended as predicted, when Newett
finished reading his manuscript and
left the stand. Colonel Roosevelt
arose. The statement he made was
short, terse, to the point and deliv-
cred with his firm jaw thrust toward
the judge upon the bench.
In view of the statement of the
defendant he said, Il ask the court
to instruct the jury that 1 desire only
nominal damages. 1 did not go into
this suit for money. l did not come
into it for any vindictive purpose.
As this court has said. made my
reputation an issue, because l wished
once and for all during my lifetime
thoroughly and comprehensively to
deal with these SANDERS

NELSON FREE OF CONTEMPT
Missouri Supreme Court Decides in
Favor of Kansas City Editor in
Guthrie Case.

Jefferson City.-William R. Nelson.
editor of the Star, was discharged
from custody in the contempt pro-
ceedings adjudged against him by
Judge Joseph A. Guthrie of the Jack
son county circuit court, January &c,
1913, and the proceedings dismissed.
through an opinion filed in the SUI
preme court en- banc by Judge Wood
son and concurred by all the other
six members of the bench.
Judge Woodson holds that Mr.. Mel
son was deprived of his rights by
Judge Guthrie and condemned with
out the taking of testimony in a hear
ing on the part of the accused. He
also finds that Judge Guthrie had pre-
pared his finding the night before
Mr.. Nelson was hailed into court, and
that in doing so he violated plain
and fundamental rule of right and
sought to deprive the prisoner of his
rights without process of law.

TOOK HIM FOR A TRAIN BANDIT
Express Messenger on Kansas City
Southern Shot Oklahoma Boy Who
Was Stealing a Ride.

Fort Smith. Ark.-Pat Lawson OF
Poteau, Ok, 10 years old; was shot
fatally on a northbound Kansas City
Southern passenger train by John G.
Sick, an express messenger. Sick
who says he believed Lawson and
his companion, Albert Pruett of Po-
teau. 20 years old, were holdup men,
was arrested in Kansas City at the
request of the authorities of Lefore
county, Oklahoma.
Lawson and Pruett were beating
their way from Heavener to Poteau
at the time of the shooting. They
had attended a picnic at the former
place and were riding the blind"
when Sick discovered them. He says
their presence recalled to him the two
train robberies on the Kansas City
Southern road in Lefiore county, Ok
lahoma, and Polk, county, Arkansas.
within week of each other last
October. He shot Lawson.
