SUE NEWSPAPER
MID NOT FULTON
Smith Suit Against the Sena
tor Practically Thrown .
Out of Court.
PAPERS LIABLE, HOWEVER
.Mfld.Tlt Cannot Be Made Basis of
Perjury C'harjce If False, hut.
Journals Printing Fulton-
Denial Thought Libelous.
3ALEM. Or.. April 17. (Sjieiia.l.'l That
a libel suit will probably be brought
against an Albany paper won substan
tially the same grounds as those which
iormd the baaia of the suit of J. S.
Hmlth against Senator C W. Fulton, was
asserted by U H. MoMahan. attorney
for Smith, just after Judge Burnett sus
tained the demurrer to the complaint
in the Fulton case.
Though the court cave McMahan two
flays in which to file an amended com
plaint, the attorney saya that the court's
ruling on the demurrer practically puts
his cse out of court and he 1U have it
dismissed.
The reason the demurrer was sustained
was that the affidavit made by Smith
ould not be made the basis of a perjury
rharce, if not true, and therefore when
Fulton asserted that the affidavit was
false he did not make such a charge as
would afford grounds for a suit for
siander. But MoMahan says that news
paper that printed Fulton's atatement
that Smith's affidavit was false are liable
for lilel and he will iret his case before
the court by suing one of them.
"The amount of damages that may ba
recovered is a minor consideration." said
McMahan. "What we want Is a thorough
investigation of the facts so that It may
be determined who is telling the truth
about the bribery of members of the Leg
islature of 197. Fulton says Smith is a
liar and we want to get all the parties
in court and on the witness stand under
oath, where they can tell what they know
and be cross-examined."

with Groyscup's telegram. It is not a

and Injunction demanded. . It seriously
affects Tacoma. and incoming roads and

use and occupation. Milwaukee attor
neys and officials consider the whole mat
ter simply a hold-up to force some- com
promise ' on .the part of Grosscup and
Bedford."
