STATE COMPLETES1 EV!DENCE!!I TRIAL Tftcoma, ,AprlhrJ.-lIoary statutes orVjlomao? ftoclent Oorman Uw vol umss'and musty English eases of centuries ago have been resurrected by Attorney P. L, Pendleton and will be Introduced la evidence In the de fenae of Paul R. Hsffor. on trial in criminally libelling Oeorge Wuhlnrfl f' ion, wntB io inai i minig m superior court Monday. The state concluded presentation of Its cue last evening. In denying a motion by the defense for ft dismissal, Judge Card ruled that under the statutes of the state, any,. person Is liable to arrest on ft charge of criminal libel for the criticism ot deceased persons, even as far back ss Adam. The statute fixes no limit lo the time within which the pos sibility of libel ceases, be held, and the question of whether malicious in tent Is Involved must be the decid ing factor In each ease. The esse Is without parallel In the annals of American Jurispru dence, and no modern precedents of any sort are available, sttorns agree. Attorney Pendleton's chief argu ment for dismissal wu that unless the operstlon of the state libel sta tute were confined to the natter ot libelling ft deceased person within the life time or his family, prosecu tions eould be carried to an absurd length, and practically no person be free from liability of arrest "This Is the most preposterous ' cue I ave ever heard of," Pendle- v ton said. "There has never been any- " thing like It, except one old English cue that was dismissed. If we csa have the libel of Wuhlngton. wo can have also the libel of Adam, Jesus Christ, Napoleon, any one who la dead, and have cases In court every , day Just m silly as this one."
