Law Court Overrules
Motion in Malicious
Prosecution Case

In the Knox county case of VIII
liam II. Miner VS. Dennis Hare,
which was an action for malicious
prosecution, the motion was over
ruled by the law court in rescript
recently handed down by Chief JUS
tice Scott Wilson. The motion reads:
In an action for malicious prose-
cution, it is necessary to prove both
malice and lack of probable cause.
The mere fact that a plaintiff falls
in an action will not alone furnish
a ground for action. If the plaintiff
acts upon the advice of an attorney,
it may be sufficient to satisfy a jury
that probable cause existed, but II
he fails to state to his attorney fully
and truthfully all the facts. a jury
might we'll find that probable cause
was lacking.
In the case at bar. 1t was purely q
question of veracity between Wit
nesses. If the jury believed the
plaintiff and his witnesses, the de-
PENDANT in the original suit did not
fully and truthfully state the facts
to his attorney who brought the
action, and the jury may have prop
erly found under instructions, to
which no exceptions were taken, that
probable cause was lacking, and at
least legal malice, if not actual mall
ice, was present.
Motion overruled.

Snow Flurries Near
Augusta Monday

Snow struck Augusta and vicinity
Monday evening.
There were many who didn't see
it and there were some sections, OF
course, that didn't even feel 1t. But
there were snow flurries just the
same. People from the outlying Sec
lions, especially from up Sidney way
on their way into the city Tuesday
morning reported hollows in the
road and in the fields that were
filled with snow Since precipitation
was quite general Monday and since
the temperature dropped to below
freezing, the meteorological stage
was well set for snow, anyway.
There were three inches of snow
on the ground in 1925 on Sunday,
Oct 4. But it faded away and good
weather was enjoyed.

In his fellow creatures made Mel
klee a very popular person and
his business successful one.
Several years ago he decided to
try the stage. He outlined an
informal kind of a line of talk,
arranged two or three songs,
bought a trick suit and black
ened his face. and lin less time
than it takes to write about it
had made his debut in Keith-Al-
bee vaudeville.
He was very successful. He
has a way Of establishing a per-
sonal acquaintance with his audi

technique is unique and satisfac-

the footlights. In fact he has

his country's delegate he investi-

at a conference on taxation and
