The defense hun? doggedly in and compelled Colonel Roosevelt to put in every scrap of evidence he .had. and then hlew up Jke a Russion battleship in the straits of  .lapan.
When the prosecution rest>i Editor New^l read a statement admitting he had no case and w.is him.'^clf con- Tincea that his charees -.ver." untrue. Mr. Roosevelt, in a brief addre.ss to the co-urt. said he only wanted to forever destroy the slanders uttered against him and tliat he was satisfied with a vindic-alion and asked that the judee instruct the jury to return a -verdict for nominal damages. The coun instructed the jury to this ef- ' feet and without leaving their seats the jurymen gave a verdict In be¬ half of Co.onel Roosevelt for si.\ cents, the smallest sum allowed un- dtr the Michigan statutes
Defense J>efeated. Apparently the defense haci no evi¬ dence to bolster up ils case and never had any and could nol find any hut hoped that it might develop som^ thing comforting to itself from a cross examination of Colonel Roosevelt's own witnesses. This morning, the de¬ fense was plainly defeated 'ind Kinew it because the d^-'s witnes.^^s were allowc-d lo leave the stan-t w-ithout cross c-xaminatioB. 'However, the au- dienc« ifl the court room^was electrl-

of his life. He said he had heen op¬ posed to the renomination of Colonel Roosevelt in Chicago and opposed him when he organized the progressive movement. He -wa-s aroused to anger against the Colonel by the latter's speech in ^Marquette in which he said that former Congressman Young, of the Marquette district was in reality-' more of a representative of the steel trust than h'\s constituents. He h.id heard rumors lo the effect that the Colonel wa.s a drunkard and after talking with a number of persons who as.«ured him the charge wa-s true he published the editorial on which tho suit w:u? b.Tsed.
Part <»f Statenidit. Th"     concluding     part     of    Editor Xewett's  statement   as   read   in   court this a.ftemoon Is as follows:
".\fter   the   commencement   of   this su'l   there  was  nothing   for  me   to   rto but    to    prepare   to   defend    it   and   T did so to the befJt of my ability. Crom that   time   I   proceeded   to   Investigate the actuu] facts which could be shown by  witnesses who would testify under oath.     .\s T  ha\!? said,  up to the time of the publication my information was from     persons    who    said     they    had knowledge of   Roosevelt's habits.  Roth my   attorneys   and   myself   wont   for¬ ward     with    the    lnvestigg.tion    with great   throughneps and   w-e  found   re- putabl-p witnesses who were willing to swear  that   from   observations   during certain   of   the   addresses   and   public j appearances of   Roosevelt they believ- jed he was Intoxicated  when they saw I him.    We have been  unable however, jto  locale  or produce  witnesses    who I will   swear   that   they   have   actually seen   Mr.   Roosevelt   drink   to   excess.
