CARL MAGEE, editor at Albuquerqe, N NJ. has been
~ acquitted of libeling ex-Supreme Judge C. j. Rob-
ers Magee had accused Roberts of improper conduct
IN the hearing of an election case
The main point carried with the result of this case is
that the attempt of legal and judicial cabal to throttle
free speech and free press in New Mexico has failed
again. Magee because of his outspoken and vgor-
Gus war on the misuse of judicial power in matters POI
tca and otherwise, has been made the object of the
bitter attacks of this caba from every side but he has
not flinched grabbed With courage worthy of
good and just he has met every onslaught blow
for blow, and, far, has handily. He will keep on
fighting doubt, until those responsible for New Mex
icos disgrace unseated and the people he so
fearlessly come into their own.

 Iombardo had little difficulty in defeating Paluso of Salt Lake City, who fought a game battle against a faster adversary. The Panaman reached Paluso's head with frequen- cy and had him bleeding through out. In the final round Paluso was dazed.
 Twice during he fight Lomhardo slipped to one knee, but was up without a count, Paluso also suf- rered from an evident lack or resin, for he narrowly escaped slipping into the Panaman's left on three oc- slons.
