nearly midnight before retiring.
Thursday afternoon the foreman
returned for additional instructions
from Justice Andrews.
The charge delivered by Justice
Andrews received instant praise
from practically every person who
heard it. II was devoid OF mean.
ingless Ito the layman in technical
praises. 1t cut through the tangled,
confused evidence, and found It's
way straight to the essential points
involved. i. The main point OF the
whole charge Is that there is only
one complete defense to a suit for
libel and that Is proof that the co.
cusations were true.
And the only matters susceptible
of proof In Justice Andrews opinion
were that Mr.. Barnes had q corrupt
agreement with Mr.. Murphy to bring
about election OF a Democratic sen.
ator in 1911 and that. Mr.. Barnes
received campaign contributions
from Democrats and Republicans and
agreed to furnish protection to the
private business of the contributors.
The Judge said In part:
ITO publish falsely any article
that holds a man up to ridicule and
disgrace and to injure his charac-
ter is libel. The intention or object
OF the libel must not be taken into
consideration.
because man is In public 1frO
he Is not an outlaw and he can be
libeled just the same as any other
citizen. No question OF privilege en-
ters into this case.
when charges are made against
a man, IL they are true, that is suffi-
cient defense. Anyone has q right
to publish anything about any other
man III IL is true. The whole law
concerning libel is woven around
the question of whether the charge
made is true or not"
Justice Andrews then explained
the points Of libel law In detail. In
this connection, he said
THE burden of proof is on the
defendant. He must show by a pre-
ponderance OF truth that the charge
made is true. He may justify his
charge in whole or in part
In explaining the legal meaning
of punitive damages" the court
said punitive damages may be
awarded when malice and wanton
disregard of the plaintiffs rights is
shown. Such damages, lie added, are
in the nature of fine to prevent
the repetition OF the ofrense rather
than compensation TO the plaintiff
for damages sustained, II any.
The distinction between evidence
in mitigation OF damages and evi-
dence In justification of libel was
also detailed The court added:
"As for the article complained OF.
| have held IL is libelous per sc in
two regards. 1t charges corrupt
political alliance between Mr..
Barnes and Mr.. Murphy in regard TO
the government OF the state. Sec
ondly. It charges that Mr. Barnes
has worked through a corrupt alli-
ance between crooked business and
crooked politics. Nothing else in
the article is libelous.
THE only question you have TO
consider is: Are the charges true?'
Consider the first charge. | have
held that the word corrupt does not
necessarily mean Illicit pecuniary
gain. II may mean tainted, or per-
verted. or dishonest II is for you
TO decide whether the charge is
true Has the defendant proved its
truth?

VERY HE:Rpv THIEF
WAS Disappointed
SUCCEEDED IN EXPECTING EN-
TRANCE TO BUTCHER SHOP
AND SMASHING CASH REGIS
TER, BUT SECURED NO CASH.

After taking the risk to force an
entrance to market on South Tar
ragona, near the corner of Inten-
dencia streets, q thief found that ali
his work was for nauyllt, for he OBJ
tanned not a penny for his trouble.
The poljee received tho report yes
terday but as the thief left no trace
of himself of course, it Yves not pos
sible TO effect the arrest Of anyone,
at least for the present.
After gaining an entrance to the
store, however, the thief worked very
deternlinediy to secure cash, and SUI
ceeded in delno1isaing the cash regis
ter when he discovered that in some
way it resisted all his efforts to open
and rob it. The noise must have been
loud, for there were several blows
required to open the cash register,
and it was the belief that such work
was done either when a train was
passing, or when the officer on The
beat had been located several blocks
away.
