QUAY BEATS THE BABER.
THB STAR CONVICTED OF PUB
LISHING A LIBEL.
! Its Owners Liable to a Fine of SI,OOO
end Imprisonment Quay's Name
Appeared on the Books of the Key
stone Bank Only in Connection W’lta
the Certificate of Deposit.
Beaver, Pa., Jan. 19.— When the court
resumed the hearing iu the Quay libel suit
this morning tfce room was crowded. In
terest increases as the cases draw toward a
close, and the proceedings were listened to
with rapt attention.
Taylor Faunee of Philadelphia, an expert
accountant, was the first witness. He had
examined the books of the Keystone Bank
and had found a deficiency of $1,500,000,
but found Senator’s Quay’s name upon the
books of the bank only in the matter of the
certificate previously referred to.
WHERE THE BTORY CAME FROM.
John A. Mellon, one of the defendants,
was called, and admitted the publication.
On Oct. 27 he received a communication
from Chairman Kerr of the democratic
state committee, saying that important
matter had been sent for publication. The
electrotype was received the following day
near the time of going to press. He thought
the matter was for public information, and
published it. The head-lines, “Quay, Too,
Was In It," were sent upon a slip of paper
accompanying the electrotype.
W. B. Porter, the other defendant, said
he had been connected with the paper since
September and knew nothing of the publi
cation of the certificates in advance, except
having seen the electrotype.
Mr. Mellon was recalled. He said he had
no knowledge of the articles in advance of
publication. The defense here rested their
case.
NATURE OF THE PUBLICATION.
A question was raised by Mr. Marshall
for the prosecution as to the nature of the
publications.
The court said in reply that there is a dis
tinct line between a privileged communica
tion and a privileged occasion. The view
of the court was that the occasion was
privileged, but the communication was not.
It was the duty of a newspaper man when
he hears anything, the effect of the pub.iea
tion of wrhich is to destroy the reputation of
a citizen, to examiue carefully the alleged
facts. He has no right to publish all that is
dumped Into his office.
Mr. Dougherty then began the argument
for the defense. He referred to the re
jection of democratic jurors and claimed
the jury was packed. The publication was
near tho close of a heated campaign, and
Mr. Dougherty insisted that whether true
or false, the papers had a right to publish
the articles as a matter of public interest,
if not malioious.
a fight narrowly averted.
Near the close Mr. Dougherty said ex
citedly: “If any man should say that a
jury was ever before selected as this one has
been, he would be branded as a liar.”
“Then I say it,” retorted Mr. Buchanan
for the prosecution. “I do say it.”
“Then ho is a liar,” exclaimed Attorneys
Dougherty and Martin in a chorus.
The judge here interfered aud restored
order.
Tho attorneys for tho commonwealth
concluded the argument. The judge charged
the jury, and the latter after being out
twenty minutes returned a verdict of guilty
as charged. The penalty is a maximum
fine of SI,OOO or imprisonment, or both.
ANOTHER SUIT TO-DAY.
After the verdict had been rendered, tho
defendants were permitted to depart, their
bail being continued. Sentence will prob
ably not tie passed for some days. Senator
Quay and the eastorn witnesses took the
first train for Pittsburg, where a libel suit
against the Post will be tried to-morrow.
A civil suit for SIOO,OOO damages will come
up later. The case Is exciting much Interest
in journalistic, legal and political circles.

The importance of purifying tho blood can
not be overestimated, for without pure
blood you cannot enjoy good health.
A{ this season nearly every one needs a
good medicine to purify, vitalize, and enrich
the blood, and Hood’s Sarsaparilla is worthy
your confidence. It is peculiar in that it
strengthens and builds up the system, creates
an appetite, and tones the digestion, while
It eradicates disease. Give it a trial.

A NEW LBA6E OF OFFICE.
Condoles City Council Slips Up on the
Election of a Marshal.
Cordelk, Ga.. Jan. 19. —Marshal Morris
has been receiving the congratulations of
bis friends to-day upon a lucky accident
which keeps him in office for twelve months.
The accident consisted in an oversight by
the city council in electing his successor.
At a meeting of the council yesterday after
noon they elected Mr. Bussey as maiehal
for the ensuing year. Upon examining tbe
charter of the city th?s morning it was
found that the election for marshal could
take place at no time exe-pt at the first
meeting of the council in Jan
ary. The first meeting was held
Jan. 4, at which time no election
was held. Mr. M orris of course holds over
until his successor is qualified, which can
not occur untii next January. The three
new aldermen elected last week, who were
the candidates of a local political club,
voted solidly against Mr. Morris. Mr.
Morris is not a member of the club, and it
is charged by some that this fact was the
cause of his defeat in the election yester
day.
