DR, SWALLOWS CASE.
Argued Ho Torn tho Supreme Court on
nn Appeal from Dnuphin Court.
Hanisbuig, March 10. The case of
Rev. Dr. S. C. Swallow, of this city,
late prohibition candidate for state
treasurei, was argued before the Su
perior couit today on an appeal from
the decision of the Dauphin county
couit In a suit Instituted by Captain
John C. Delaney, supeiintendent of
public buildings nnd gtouuds. Dr.
Swallow was convicted of criminal
libel a year ago and sentenced to pay
a fine of $500 and the costs, which
amounted to several hundred dollais.
The case was appealed to the Supeilor
couit and has since been pending,
ow lug to the failure of counsel on both
sides to ngiee upon a time for argu
ment. Ex-Deputy Attorney Oeneral James
A Stranahan and Edvv in W. Jackson,
of Harrlsburg, and Thomns II Mur
lay, of Clearfield, nppeared today for
Dr. Swallow and aiguert that the court
below eued in refusing to admit cer
tnln evidence to piote the doctor's al
legation that extravagance nnd conup-
tlon had been practiced In fitting up
the public departments Ills attorneys
' contended that if this testimony had
1 gone before the Jury a diffetent verdict
' would have been rendered.
, Charles H. Hergnei, John H. Weiss
and Lmnn D. Gilbert, for Captain De
laney, aigued that the excluded testi
mony had no bearing on the case; that
it was Immaterial and could not be
admitted under the piinclples of law
governing libel cases.
