In 1876 a woman named Mary Robin- son, living at that time in Cameron, Mo., brought suit in the circuit court of Ray county, in that state, against a man named Samuel Musser to recover $25,000 for pereonal injuries alleged to have been sustained from an attempt at rape com- mitteed by defendant. The case was tried to a jury which returned s verdict for plaintitf of §350. The case was taken to the supreme court by the desendant and the judgment of the lower court was reversod on the ground that the evidence showed that no outrage had been com mitted, the plaintiff being a willing party. Miss Robinson then busied herself for some time after this last decision, which was In 1882, writing a history of her cate and compiling the evidence adduced to the jury. Yesterday the attention of the post office inepectors was cailed to several small pamphlets addressed to Grover Cleveland, Mary Livermoro, Congress- man Kelley, Rev. Talmadge and others. Upon examining them they werafound to be the case above referred to inpamphlet form, The fly leaf of each page con- tained a cut of Mies Robinson, under- neath which was her autograph, = The pamphlets were addressed in the auto- graph hand, which leads to the conclu- sion that the woman is in the city and be- sides there aro grave suspicions that the books were printed in Omaha, They were taken from the mails and held to await the action of the postoflice aepartment at Washington, on the ground that they were non mailable, be- ing obecene literature, | — UNDER ARREST.

And if he does not comply with its every lstter, if ho honeatly believes he has done no, and acts accordingly, will his good faith and hon intent not be considered by this depart- ment in the interpretation of tho law?” The opposing counsel opens his brief as follows: ““The claimant’s counse! in this case {3 either grossly ignoran. f the law or has broken hin outh as un attorney, for he either does not know that Lord Bacon did not wilto the Becond Epistle to the Corinthians, or he is trylng to mislead the tnterior department by *fulse- hood and deceit’ by quoting the apostle Paul as good authority in land cases, When the great apostie wrote to the peo- ple of Corinth, ‘The lotter killeth, but the spirlt glveth life," he had no refer- ence to timber-culture cases; in fact, the act entitled ‘An act to encourage the growth of timber on wertern praries’ had not become a law in A D. 60, nor did it become & law until eightcen hundred yoars later, 8o it is clearly to bo seen that the language quoted is wnotin point.
