Conclusion of the Greensburg Libel Salt—
. Arguments of "Wlll A. Stokes and E. A.
Cowan, Esqs.--The Charge of the Court
and the Verdict of the Jury.
We conclude our report of the libel suit at
Greensburg
Mr. Stokes followed. for the defence, in a
characteristic, able.and logical argument. He
began by saying that the Creator had made
two great classes—the beasts, perishing with
their bodies, and man, the immortal image of
himself. The former had no moral responsi
bility, but man is morally answerable to Him
for all deeds done in the body. At the final ac
count God searches the hearts of men, and there
finds, in its condition, the evidence of guilt or
innocence. All earthly tribunals derive their
power from the great source of all, and these
tribunals are als'o bound to examine into the
heart. There is no guilt withont intention,and
although an act may be monstrous in itself, in
the absence of Motive or malice there can be
no conviction. lie compared the attempt to
convict his clients of an offence for which they
could have no , motive, to the undying and "ir
repressible conflict" between freedom and sla
very. The law of libel, he said, is one more
open to abuse than any other ! Our farefath
ere contended for and insisted upon the liberty
of the press. Cesar imposed heavy penalties
for libel and forbid the publication of the law,
which all were bound to obey. Four centu
ries ago, in au obscure corner of Germany, a
lightbroke forth with the inventing!' of the art
of printing, which was attempted to he extin
guished by judicial appliances. Now a simi
lar attempt was made to fetter that great en
gine.
He agreed with the gentleman wh., opened
this case that it was an important one. for :lie
believed that if the doctrines contended for by
him prevailed; the death knell of the freedons
of the press had been struck.
He said it would be a mockery of justice to
*allow this case to be determined upon the petty
issues which had been formed, and hoped it
would be decided upon the broad ground
of right. The question here wee whether it
was libelous to publish the proceadings of 11
court or justice. The framer: , of our renstitu
tion made the courts of jus=tice open to all ; they
knew that judges had been corrupted—they
knew the effects of the Spanish inquisiti n,
and determining to avoid the possibility
. of the
corruption arising from secret tribunals. mode
it a part of the constitution that judicial pill
cers should be held to a strict accountability
for all their acts, by making those acts public—
and to-day we are brought here to answer for
letting the people know of these proceeding , .
If all in this court house have a right to hear
the proceedings of to-day, are not all alike
privileged to know them` King Alfred dis
pensed justice in the open air before all the peo
ple, and he claimed equal privileges in this
country.
He did not subscribe to the doctrine that
counsel at the bar may say what they please.—
Every man is bound by a moral mi,pon , ibility
and there is nothing. baser than to take :elven
tago of the privilege of an attorney to heap ui
coals of tire upon the head of any roan. There
was a limit to what ought to be said in court,
and that limit should be fixed by what could h e
said out of court.
Every man in the hearing of his voice might
go out and tell his neighbors of what bad trap ,,
pired here - so every newspaper had the privi
lege of publishing the same, and for this right
he should contend.
Mr. Stokes then gave an interesting history
of the English law of libel, and cited many
instances in which it had been sought to curtail
the liberty of the press, refering to the fact that
no newspaper or play can at this day be pub
lished in England without the consent of gov
ernment. The jury would be asked to convict
under the English law, and he held that judi
cial decisions from judges under a monarchial
government could not be relied upon. When
ever England is to rule us by the decisions of
her courts, in matters of prerogative, the day
of our downfall will have arrived. The whole
history of English libel law was the history of
the struggle for the freedom of the press.
This is said to be an unlair report of proceed
ings because the record is not published. Will
it be said that one who hears the same proceed
ings cannot communicate them without also
communicating the record? Then the ques
tion recurs, was it accurate? Are not the
Judges, the Clerk of the Court, the District
Attorney, and the reporters who were there to
take down the proceedings, competent to judge
of its fairness? If the jury believe those six
men of unimpeachable character, they are
bound to give defendants the benefit of any
doubt , and if they are convinced there was no
malice, acquit them. This was the broad
ground on which the case rested. It wal pre
posterous to punish a man for an offence the
commission of which he had no knowledge of,
and equally so to punish him for the act of the
reporter.
Mr. Stokes then referred to the indictment,
the first count of which set forth that the inn
endO contained in the title of the article, "a
modest lawyer," was that he was greedy and
an extortioner. He asked the Court to charge
that the inuendo must arise from the words,
and the jury would understand that the infer
ence could not be drawn. If this inuendo be
not found true, they must acquit on the entire
count. In the same count "the said Frederick
(Jollier" was mentioned, and his name had not
before occurred. Again the count charges as
inuendo that the handwriting of the receipt
was that of James M. Carpenter, which is a
false inuendo. The second count charges as
inuendo that attorney Carpenter had attempted
to defraud the woman by means of the receipt,
when administrator Carpenter is referred to.
On these defects he argued to the jury.
The press had been violently and indiscrimi
nately-attacked here, and he felt sure that the
jury would not sanction the views of the pros
ecution. The business of the jury is not with
Mr. Carpenter. They must examine and see
if the defendants are guilty of a malicious act.
Remember that the newspapers are a part of
the great whole—they are the amusers and
instructors of the age and the people :
"Be to their faults a little blind,
Be to their virtues very kind;
Let all their thoughts be unconfined.
Nor clap your padlock on the mierl,"
Mr. Stokes, after a recess of one hour and a
half, for supper, pointed out another inaccu
racy in the indictment, and concluded by re
ferring to a few authorities on the points ari,
gued.
Mr. Cowan followed with the closing argu
ment to the jury for the prosecution. Ho said
this cause was important because it was the tho
first of its character which had ever been tried
in Pennsylvania, and as it would be a precedent
it_should be considered with more than ordi
nary attention. The jury, as in all cases, were
bound to decide the case under the law and the
evidence.
He had no unkindly feeling towards any of
the parties;- he had known one of the defen
dants for many _years, -and respected both
highly: The jury Ineed not fear that if 'ecint.
b;,- - i.,_ -- .:•-..ii:',.,-tittt'Oub.'. - .,- .--1-1.:o0
victed the parties would be severely punished ;
that was not the intention ; tlYe object of this
prosecution was to draw the line of privilege
anal establish the law.
One great object of the law is the protection
of character, especially in this country, where
it is often a man's only heritage. We do not
inquire into his birth, but his character ; if
good, , we respect, if bad, we condemn him.
We tire a mixture of good and bad, therefore
the law considers this, and considers that a good
character in which the good predominates, and
that a bad one which is below the average
standard of good. Every man will stand by
his character as by his property or life:and
will often hazard both the latter in defence of
the former. When a spot on our escutcheon,
we wish to rub it ofi. The law respects our
character, and knowing this feeling, protects it
as life, limbs or property. If the law did not
we would protect it ourselves—seekin our own
redress. We have a right of self-defence in
this, and we give up the right to the law for
the sake of order. This is why libel constitutes
an offence.

The low fixes a higher grade on written or

is no slander in the mouth of a single man, be
comes much more serious when posted on a
wall or circulated by means of a newspaper.
Anything which is calculated to bring a man
into disrepute is a slander, and: against this
slander we are all entitled to a defence. If a
slander is circulated all over the country it de
prives the victim of this defence. If lam
slandered in a newspaper I have no means of
counteracting the slander. Unless my faults

them except the law—if reprehensible they are

He was nn advocate of the liberty of the
press—not the liberty of defaming men as it
pleases—not the liberty of gathering up the
blackguardism and fill' and garbage of courts
and scattering it broadcast over the land. The
liberty of the press in this country is secured,
but its conductors are responsible for its abus
or license. If it is a great engine for the dis
semination of truth it is also a great engine for
the scattering of lies, and we must sowewher,
draw a line.
This ease is une in which a nteinber of the
bar is assailed, in the Dispate4,, by an article
reflecting upon his character. accusing hint of
grasping at the means of the widow and the

As to inuendo no one would presume that
the caption of the article actually conveyed the
idea that Mr. Carpenter was a modest lawyer,
and if it meant 'myth' ng else, it was an inueb

indictment.
It had been contended-that defendants had
no malice, and were therefore not responsible
for the acts of their reporter. If they put their
names at the head of a paper, and employ oth
ers to fill its columns, the responsibility is
none the less. It is no defence to say that Mr
Foster never saw the articleuntil after its pub•
lication. It is so much the worse for him. if
ho is so careless as to allow matter to he pub

and the publication itself implied malice.

miscalled the liberty of the press.
Mr. Cowan spoke for two hours, concluding
at ten o'clock, when Judge Buffington imme
diately charged the jury, as follows :
GENTLEMEN OF TUE JURY :—The present is
a criminal prosecution for a libel. The offence
is defined to be `• n malicious publication, ex
pressed either in printing or writing, or by
signs or pictures, tending either to injure soci
ety generally, or to blacken the memory of the
dead or the reputation of one living, and expose
him to public hatred, contempt and ridicule."
The publication by defendants of the alleged
libel is not disputed.
The constitution of the State provides that
'• the free communication of thoughts and opin
ions is one of the invaluable rights of man ;
and every citizen may freely speak, write and
print on any subject, being responsible for the
abuse of that liberty ; and in all indictments
for libel the jury shall have the right to deter
mine the law and the facts, under the direction
of the Court, as in other cases."
By these provisions of the Constitution you
will observe that you aro made the judges of
both the law and the facts. This, however, is
to be done under the direction of the Court.
The jury are not to make a new law to suit the
present case, nor to alter the existing laws of
the land, but you aro to judge the case from a
fair examination of the facts, and the law as it
has been settled and determined.
The right, under the above provisions of the
Constitution, freely to speak and print on any
subject, does not confer the unlicensed privi
lege upon one man to defame others at his will
and pleasure, but it has been determined to
mean that no restraint or censorship igen b&
set upon this valuable right, but if abused, the
perpetrator is to be held responsible.
In the present case it is alleged by the defen
dants' counsel that in the indictment there are
various inuendos which do not fairly represent
the meaning of the writer, and are therefore
not true, and. thus the jury cannot find the
truth of any one,count. It is the office of an
muendo to explain and make manifest some
part of the charge which4oes , not obviously
appear Upon the face thereof. It euariot en -

large or extend the meaning or subject matter
in the charge, but merely make that obvious
which is otherwise somewhat obScure. If the
subject matter is sufficiently plain, an inuendo
serves no purpose, and although some of the
material inuendos may not be sustained, still
if there is enough to make out the charge fully,
the failure to find the truth of all need not vi
tiate what is otherwise sufficient. The truth.
of the inuendos is also for the jury; and it is
necessary for them to find the truth of the ma
terial inuendos, where the meaning is not suf
ficiently plain without them. . , .
It is in evidence that the prosecutor, James
M. Carpenter, and the person charged to have
been defamed, was an attorney of this court.
The profession of an attorney is one of great
responsibility, and is the means by which ho
obtains a reputation in society, and by which
he procures a support for himself and his family.
It is his profession, his occupation. Ile is an
officer of the court, under peculiar and especial
duties of fidelity to the court and to his client
in the discharge of his duties. Be obtains the
office and the privileges connected with it after
a long ciurse of study and diligent application,
and his character for integrity, good behavior
and moral standing is a pre.requisite to his ad
mission to those privileges. His success in his
profession, which is not, like many others un
der the government, a monopoly, depends upon
his skill, his diligence and integrity. It, is by
these means, and these alone, he can hope to
succeed in acquiring the confidence of the com
munity, and thus render himself prosperous in
his business and respected by the world. For
these reasons, his character, not only as a man,
but his profession as an attorney, is entitled to
protection and vindication. Any false publi
cation, therefore, that tends to degrade bin as
a man, to bring him into contempt, ridicule or
disgrace, and which injures or is calculated to
injure him as an attorney, to destroy or impair
hi reputation for integrity in his profession,
is libelous, and as such punishable criminally.
In the present case the Common wealth com
plains that the publication which has been read
in evidence i? of that character. The jury will
consider the terms of this publication careful
ly, and will jilfilZe it according to the rules we
have laid down. Does it, in the judgment of
the jury, tend to injure and degrade him as a
man—to bring him into ignominy, ridicule or
contempb—or to destroy or impair that char
acter for integrity and fidelity which is so im
portant to his success in professional life, stud
which is essential to secure the confidence of the
Court. and to protect him in the enjoyment of
his office as 11.11 attorney. If the jury lielieve
this publication was of such nature as to pro
duce the effisits and consequenees spoken of,
then it was a libel. I not analyno the pub•

sire T 1,4 to be held responsible, except they ex•
ceed their privilege, and. from express malice,
from actual malignity of purpof.e, turn aside
to defame their fellow-man.
From principles of policy, also, the public jour
naiint of the country are privileged toOUbhAb
fair account of the proceedings of our judicial
tribunals. Courts of justice are open---and the
people at large hare n right to know what ha
trauspiring in them: and accurate and fair
reports of proceedings of the court may with
propriety find their way into the public ROWS
parwrs. But thin in to be done under some
proper mitrietions. What `witnesses testified
to, where all the material evidence is given, is
privileged, because the witnesses Wally under
the sanction and obligationh of an oath. So
the conclusions of law, as I aid down by th
Court, and the reasons therefor, thay also be
published, because they may be proper for pub
lic information, and because they are enunci•
ated under their responsibility to the constitu
tion and laws. But this publication must boa
fair, accurate and correct ono. A publication
of proceedings in a court of justice, containing
defamatory matter, would be a libel if the ac
count be - highly colored or false, or be com
mented upon with scandalous remarks and
insinuations, or where it does not set forth all
the material evidence, or where the publication'
is not for the mere purpose of publishing the
account, but expressly for libeling the party.
The fairness of the report is also a question for
the jury—[7 Johnston, 5711 This, gentlemen,
seems to he the law so far as regards the pro
ceedings of the court proper, the evidence of,
the witnesses and the judgments of the court.
But whether this applies to the allegations
and arguments of counsel is not so clear. Coun
sel do not act under the same sanction in they
advocacy of their clients' cause, as do the
Court and the witnesses. They act under
the responsibility of fidelity to the Court, it is
true, but also of fidelity to their client, and a
wide range is allowed to them in commenting
severely on the testimony of the witnesses and
the conduct of the opposite party. .This may.
be necessary in the investigation of the truth,
with a view to the correct administration' of
justice. The counsel is privileged in doing
so but the question is whether these severe
and detracting arguments, strictures and ob
servations may be published to the world,
where the same necessity and propriety does not
exist. I have devoted some examination to
this subject, and some careful reflection, and I
have arrived at the conclusion that the right to
rifablish the defamatory comments and decla
mations of counsel does not exist.
The jury will therefore carefully consider
this matter, and say whether, from the whole
of the evidence of the highly respectable wit
nesses who have been examined, this publica
tion was a fair representation of the proceed
ings of the Court, so far as the law permits it
to be published, or whether it exceeds the
priv
liege thus accorded to public journalists.
This case, gentlemen, is one of more than
ordinary inaportance;xtot only in its bearingi
upon the defendants, but in the delicacy of.tho
principles involved. On the ono hand, we,are
to protect with jealous care the liberty of 'the
press, in all its proper and legitimate func
tions; and on the other hand we are to see that
the reputations of individuals are not improp
erly assailed and their characters and conduct
proclaimed to the world in a disgraceful light.
Just how far a public journalist may go with
impunity, and where he must stop, is one of
the difficult questions that necessarily embar
rass so delicate a subject.
In this case, as in all cases of the kind, it is
left for the jury, under the directions wo have
given you, to perform that task. I repeat,
gentlemen, you are the judges of the law and
facts both. If, upon a careful view of the
whole case, you are satisfied, beyond a reason
able doubt, that the Commonwealth has made
out the offence, then it will bo your duty to
find the, defendants guilty ; if you are not so
satisfied, then your verdict will be that of not
guilty.
The jury retired at half past ten, and at half
past eleven brought in a verdict of Not guilty
and defendants pay the costs."

AMPUTATED BY A RAILROAD CAR.—On
Saturday morning a colored boy named Wil-
liam Stills, 'about ten years old, was playing
on the track of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
and Chicago Railroad, near Federal street,
jumping on train=, riding a short distance and
jumping off, whon ho fell across the track In
front of one of the shifting locomotives, which
passed over his right leg above the ankle, sev
ering it almost entirely, and leaving it hanging
only by the skin. Dr. Dickson amputated the
limb below the knee. The boy is in a lair way
of recovery, but he narrowly escaped with his
life. We hope this may padara warning to
other boys, who will persist in such dangerous
armiaement.
FATAL. RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—Another sad
instance of the danger incurred by boys who
jump on railroad trains,
occurred. on Saturday
evening. A lad named William Allen, about
ten years old, only son of James Allen, of the
Fifth ward, attempted to jump upon a coal
train passing out of a coal yard on Liberty
street; when he slipped and fell under one of
the cars, which passed over him about the mid
dle, killing him instantly. An inquest -was
held and the jury found that the boy met his
death by accident.
ON Sunday the Citizens' Passenger Railway
Company ran four cars between the city and
Lawrenceville, at short intervals. A letter
box was placed in each car for the convenience
of the public, and as the mail was carried on
them no one could object to their running.

evening, in the character of Julia, in the

part of the evening and received a favorable
impression. She has a tine face, commanding
figure, sweet voice, good stage action—in fact
all the requisites for a gold actress. If we
Mistake not she will he is favorite here. To
night she appears in a new play, written for
herself, entitled "Plot and Passion, - which
will fully display her capabilities. She is well
worthy of a liberal support, and will, we trust,
receive it.
TURNERS' ThANKSGIVING ,FESTIVAL—The

We anticipate a large attendance.
BRAKEMAN Ht.:la.—John Henry, a brake
man on the C. & P. Railroad, was =o seriously
injured by a freight train at Smith's Ferry,,a
day or two ago, that his recovery is very
doubtful. He was sent ahead to signal a train,
when he fell asleep upon the track. The '.pilot"
of the engine struck him and knocked him
some distance from the track, inflicting very
dangerous injuries.

NKW YORK, November .11.—Ths steamship
North Star, from Aspinwall, arrived at this

WastIINGTON CITY, November 21.—Noth
ing can, as yet, be ascertained concerning the
precise object of sending large bodies of troops
to the Rio Grande further than the protection
of that frontier from the attacks of the forces
of Cortinas to utterly destroy it, which is the
purpose of the Administration, as it was but
recently supposed in official quarters that .the
two companies from Fort Clark, and the one
from Baton Rouge would be sufficient to check
the movements of that brigand.
The augmentation of the troops just ordered
has naturally excited suspicions of other con
templated measures. Various speculations are
indul g ed in, but the most plausible theory
found on certain revelations deemed to be reli
able is that Spain, France and England medi
tate prompt action for the satisfaction of claims
in which their subjects are interested, and
which may involve the national existence.of
Mexico, or the substitution of a monarcy,
under the protection of these powers. In view
of these circumstances and probabilities, the
United States may feel constrained to' occupy
the Northern part of Mexico, to secure tbe sat
isfaction of the claims of our own citizens
against that country, as well as for the security
of Americans on the frontier. From all that
can be ascertained, it is fair to presume that
some of the vessels of the hOme squadron will
soon proceed to Vera Cruz and other ports in
Mexico. Indeed, this seems to be certain, so
interesting are the reported purposes of France,
England and Spain now regarded in official
qaarters.
WASHINGTON CITY, November 21.—The
war department to-day countermanded the or:
ders for six companies of troops from Fort
Monroe and five from Fort Leavenworth; to
proceed to Brownsville, there appearing from
the latest accounts that there is no necessity for
their proceeding thither, apart from the object
of affording protection to the Rio Grande
frontier. The various speculations as to the
employment of so large a force are thus dissi
.ated.
