John G. Scoutcn Pound Guilty. The ease of the Coni'th vs John <!. Scouten for criminal libel of Judge Conrad Kraus was tried lust week and occupied (he Court two days. The Commonwealth was conducted by I)ist. Atty. A. J. Bradley, assist ed by Attys. E. J. Mullen and F. 11. Ingham. The prisoner was defend ed by P. A. O'Boyles an attorney from Wilkesßarre, and James Piatt of Tunkhannock. The grand jury on Tuesday morning brought in three true bills of indictment, and a jury was sworn about noon. Scoutcn pleaded not guilty and justification. The I)ist. Atty. opened the case for the Coni'th, stating that the prisoner would be tried first on the indict ment for criminal libel in the Sulli van Herald of June 21, 1899. This was the issue of the "llerald" in which there was a cartoon of Judge Kraus and Line and also a separate article commenting on the Associate Judges. The Coni'th then showed the publication of the issue by John Scoutcn as one of the editors (if the paper, introduced several other issues of the Herald to show malice and also showed by witnesses that Scout en had said before he was in the newspaper business that he intended to start a journal and that he would ruin Judge Kraus, accompaning this reipark witli language not fit for publication. Special malice was also shown by several witnesses of re marks Scoutcn had made about the Judges of such a character as to show personal ill will to Judge Kraus. The Coni'th then rested and the de fense attempted to show justification. Most of the Associate Judges were called since Judge John Wright, time on the Bench to show that they had not received as much pay for their services during their time of office us Judge Kraus received. The defendants failed to show the truth of the articles or that they were pub lished for the information of the public without malice to Judge Krausc. Judge Metzger then charg ed the jury. He said in the course of his charge that there had not been any evidence whatever introduced by the defence to show that Judge Kraus had ever taken any illegal fee or fees that he was not legally en titled to receive. The jury were out about three hours and returned a verdict of "Guilty us in manner and form indicted." The defense made a mo'tion for a new trial and Judge Metzger gave them ten days after the notes of testimony were filed to file additional reason why a new trial should be granted. The punishment for criminal libel is SIOOO fine and one year imprison ment, one or both at the discretion of the court. There are two additional indict ments against Scouton for criminal libel, which owing to alack of time had to be continued until next term. These indictments are for other ar ticles published in the Herald during the last year or so and include most of the articles published in the Herald except the one issue of June 2! on which Scoutcn is convicted.
