DEFAMER OF COLONEL
RETRACTS ON STAND

George A. NeWett, editor OF
Iron Ore" published in Ishpem-
ing, confesses that he is unable
to secure evidence of drunken
ness. Roosevelt asks nominal
damages. Says suit was brought
not for money gain. but to effect
ualIy stop the tongues of sland-
eres-Editor retracts.
Theodore Roosevelt last Satur-
day won his libel suit against
George A. Newett who charged
the Colonel with drunkenness.
Having waived damages after
the defendant had uttered a re-
traction, Colonel Roosevelt ac-
cepted a jury award of the NOM
inal damages of six cents pro-
vided in such cases by the law of
Michigan. Each party to the
suit will have to pay his own ex-
penses.
Judge Flanagan instructed
the jury to bring in a verdict for
the plaintiff which they did with
out leaving their seats. The
colonel left for Chicago and the
east at $50 this afternoon. two
hours after the conclusion of the
case. With the climax of the
case came a lack of conclusion of
the powerful drama. When the
afternoon session began. the air
was electrical with expectancy.
Rumors were flying that the suit
would be terminated. Counsel
however. remained uncommunica
tive and Attorney Bensehoten,
for the plaintiff, resumed his
reading of the depositions. The
next move was sudden.
''The plaintiff rests" Attorney
Jas. H. Pound remarked in a
matter of fact manner. and every
eye was turned toward the table
where sat the defendant and his
attorneys, Horace Andrews, of
Cleveland, and William P. Beldon,
of Ispeming.
THE defense will call Mr..
Newett" announced Attorney
Belden, and a ruddv checked man
whose color did not disguise the
fact that he was suffering from
a serious illness, took the chair.
In his hand he carried a manu-
script. There was a shuffling
sound as the spectators adjusted
themselves the better to hear and
observe.
Colonel Roosevelt sat with fold
ed arms at first but when the de-
fendant began reading his stat
ment, he moved to the utmost
edge of his chair, and betrayed
the excitement which his rigid
jaws did not hide. Newett was
well along in his reading before
the colonel whose position seem
ed like to that of a man about to
leap forward, lost the tense look
on his face.
1t is fair to the plaintiff to
state that | have been unable to
find in any section of the country
any individual witnesses who
were willing to state he had per-
sonally seen Colonel Roosevelt
drink to excess. At this the
plaintiff smiled and rising spoke
a few words in the ear of Attor-
ney Benschoten and the latter
smiled back at him.
The colonel broke into a grin
again, when Newett. speaking
distinctly and with emphasis
said with reference to the testi-
mony adduced by the plaintiff,
Il am forced to the conclusion
that | was mistaken.
The statement admitted that a
search of the country had been
made to investigate the stories
of persons alleged to have knOwl-
edge that Colonel Roosevelt
drank to excess, but in every
case the stories fattened out

DIR. MURPHY ATTACKED
BY A VICIOUS NEGRO
Pint Whisky Flask Hurled Through
Window of w. B. & A. Car.

Herbert Wilbur Had Been Drinking
and Swearing and Resented

Of staff OF the Emergency Hospital,

more and Annapolis Electric Line
last night.
The negro, Herbert Wilbur, a
burly youngster of about 23 years,
hurled a pint flask with whisky,
through an open window of the car,
and but for the grating on the outside
which broke it, as well as stayed its
force, DR.. Murphy, probably, would
have received severe blow in the
head. The negro left the car at
Gott's Station and it was there that
bf threw the missile. Other passen-
gers on the car, happening to know
the name of the legro, gave it to
the conductor, and today a warrant
for his arrest was issued.
Dr. Murphy and Wilbur both board
ed the car at Annapolis. The negro
had been drinking, it is said. Sew
eral ladies were among the passen-
gers on the car. The negro persisted
in swearing and using vile language.
DR.. Murphy approached him and
urged him to desist. This only SEEM
ed to anger the negro. and he NUT
tered some ugly remarks at the ply
sician
At the same time the negro made
a move towards his hip pocket as if
to draw some thing therefrom. DR..
Murphy at first thought he might be
drawing revolver or other weapon,
and so watched him closely. Instead,
the negro pulled forth a whisky flask.
The car was nearing Gott's Station
at the time After Wilbur le fl the
car and as it was pulling away from
the station, there came a crash of
glass through window in the smok-
ing compartment, at which DR.. Muir
ply was sitting.
The floor was Uttered with par
tices of the bottle, some of which
struck Dr. Murphy in the face, inflict-
ing slight gashes. The neck of the
bottle, Jagged as a result of the con-
tact, whizzed by DR.. Murphy's face.
Passengers in the car were startled
for time. Quiet was soon restored,
however. Meantime, the conductor
learned the name of the negro, and
arrest is expected by tonight.

the city s place to have them emptied.

wise the one at the corner of Conduit
and Duke of Gloucester streets.
Everything is deposited in these bask-
cts from fat bacon and crabs to old
shoes and straw hats. They are a de-
lusion and snare but the question is
why they are never emptied, and
another question is where, oh where. is
