It will be lecnlled that In the flint

tho detective foices of the dlstilct at
torney's odlco made what use they
could of tho tesult of this Inquisitorial

It as testimony. Etit this was a noloi
lous Instnnce In which an excess ot
journalistic activity was nntutal If It
was altogether ttnjustlllablc. All the
pertinent facts In the Jlollneux case
which the public needed to' know or had
a light to know, or even that the jtny
should have had before them, could have
been fully and easily obtnlnnblo under
any legitimate lestilctlon of newspaper
enterprise within Its pioper pheie

this limitation established by law. AVe
do not think such shitutoty enactment
Is nt all necessary. The gutter sheet
