Drake Is Bound Over For Defaming Judge Hamilton. jS RELEASED WHEN $250 BAIL IS FURNISHED , DR. A. F. Sether Testifies as to i Serious Illness of Com plainant. ItOSEBURG, Ore, July 24. Of fering no ovldonco to support tho 'candid opinions" of hla objoctlon nblo letter to tho Portland Orogoninn, Jcbso 0. Drnko, charged with crim inally libeling Judgo J. W. Hamilton, was bound over to tho grand Jury nt the conclusion of his examination be fore JiiBtlco It. V. MnratorH Satur day. His original bail of $250, which ho furnlflhod, was contlnuod. In lieu of testimony, Attornoy C. 8. Jackson, counsel for Drake, con tented lilniHOlf with nn argument on legal points, declaring that Drake's loiter was moroly tho expression of pcrsonnl opinion and that It was wholly within tho law. Ho said that If It was trim that Judgo Hamilton collaborated with McCIallon's attor neys In preparing tho Instructions, to tho Jury that ho would not bo guilty of malfeasance of olllco and that tho only object the dofenso could havo In securing his assistance would bo to obtain instructions that could bo sustained by law. Jackson asserted that Drake had not libeled Hamilton in roforrlng to his Illness. This ho said was simply a common form of opinion expressed by ono man In regard to nnothor. Tho paragraph concluding tho letter re ferring to a "cllquo" and "two-faced traitors" Mr. Jackson argued had no speclflo connection with Judgo Ham ilton, but was of general application In relation to tho onforcomont of law. District Attornoy Brown cited scores of legal authorities to show that "opinions" could bo worded In such a innnnor as to dofumo tho per sons at whom they wero directed. In this caso ho claimed tho ovldonco of libel was undisputed nnd bo flagrant that comment wnu unnecessary. Ho called attention to Judge Hamilton's long, unblemished career on tho bench and said his prlvato nnd pro fessional reputation had beon bo emlrched by Drake's letter. "I would have liked very much to havo seen Judgo Hamilton preside at tho McClallon trial, said Drown. "He Is well versed In criminal law. He knows criminal law much hotter than Judgo Coko doos, and by this I do not mean to reflect In any way upon Judgo Coko. Ho pictured Judgo Hamilton as a l'lllar In tho Judiciary of Oregon, nnd declared thnt his good reputation, a work of ovor 30 years, had beon attacked. Ho said that no man had a right to publish or cause to bo pub lished an article of this naturo, re gardless of what his prlvato opinion might be. Tho district attornoy said that Judgo Hamilton had held of fice In Douglas county for 30 years, and novor before had beon accused f shirking his duty. "This fs a. seri ous matter," said tho district attor ney, "this article has circulated over the entire northwest) and has with out doubt Injured tho complaining witness." it waa tho dlstflot attor ney's contention that a person has no right to publish a defamatory ar ticle neither can ho express such an opinion In writing unless he has, tho facts to substantiate it In detail.
