CONTROVERSY IS OF LONG STANDING Joseph Cuddy, Sentenced for Fo ery, I Pardoned=Many Enlist- ments for Army at Des Molnes =Is Exposed to Smallpox. DES MOINES, March 1.—(Special.)—Gov- ernor Leslie M. Shaw belleves in govern- ment by Injunction, at least to the extent of protecting his own geod name by in- junction pending his candidacy for the presidertial nomination of 1904. The gov- ernor has resorted to the courts and to an injunction to prevent at least one person from talking about him or writing about him or circulating statements derogatory to the governor's good name us a practicing attorney in Crawford county. The govornor claims that he has been slandered and libeled by one John McGregor and that the #ald McGregor contemplates repeating his slanderous statements, and this week Judge Elwood of the district court granted the governor a temporary injurction restrain- ing the sald McGregor from opening his mouth or using his pen In this offensive way until the court can finally adjudicate the matter The trouble is of long standing. Back in 1886 & client of Mr. Shaw attempted to get a judgment lien on some property in the rossession of McGregor, but in McGregor's wife's name. The case was tried before Judge Conner, now member of congress, and resulted in a victory for McGregor, upon which Shaw, as attorney for Johu Glelser, the piaintiff in the case, appealed the caso to the supreme court, where be was beaten agaln, In making up the papers for the supreme court It'was necessary to show properly the service of the legal papers in the case, and not having the original papers Mr. Shaw, in his petition at that time, stated | that he substituted certain papers and gave the names of the officers who had served them. McGregor claimed that no such papers were ever served and cites the case of one W. H. Laub, then a constable, who declares that his signature was appended to the raper by somebody else. On the strength of this MeGregor accused Shaw of perjury and forgery and other various of- fenses. He has circulated the statement freely in recent months and some time ago, In a tit in court, McGregor boasted that he was going to print and circulate 5,000 circulars containing the full informa- tion, Applies for Injunction. At this point Governor Shaw became acutely interested in the case and applied for an Injunction, and in his petition says That the defendant, with the wickel and maliclous intent to injure and destroy the good name and fame of the plaintiff and to bring him into disrepute among his nelghbors and acquaintances and among his political assoclates and friends througi out the state of lowa and elsewhere, h been for several years and is now pursuing adeliberate, unprovoked and maliclous course of slander and libel upon this plain- UM in t that the sald defendant hus d_time written many letters to this plaintiff, Iibelous in character, charg- g the sald plaintiff with the commission of many crimes and misdemeanors, and es- peclally with the crime of forgery; and that the sald defendant has written to many ersons of prominence in the state of owa and elsewhere, and especlally to judges of the supreme court and other high officlals of the state of lowa, and to promi- nent clergymen and to men of standing in both church and state, In which letters the sald defendant has specifically charged this plaintift with the commission of the crime of forgery and of other crimes, and now threatens, in pursuance of suid libelo course and conduct, to issue printed eire lars, several thousand in number, to be sent broadcasi and indiscriminately over the state of lowa, in the attempt thereby to villify and destroy the character of the sald plaintiff or to extort money from him or_his friends. The petition recites that all the charges are false and malicious, that the defendant is insolvent and the plaintiff has no rem- edy at law and that if the defendant is per- mitted to go on unrestrained the governor will suffer great and irreparable loss and damago and Injury. The injunction was is- sued and will be heard on its merits in due time. Pardon for Joseph Cuddy. Joseph Cuddy, who was sentenced to the penitentlary at Anamosa October 15, 1897, for a period of seven and a half years, has been pardoned by Governor Shaw and has arrived at hls home In Clinton. Cuddy was convicted of forgery, his work belng the cleverest ever executed In the state. His operations covered a perfod of four years and involved several thousands of dollars’ worth of property. In order to ex- plain where he recelved his money Cuddy had the story circulated that he had fallen heir to a large sum of money. Prisoner Was Exposed. A prisoner at the penitentiary at Fort Madison was taken to Council Bluffs to testity in some federal case recently and oa the way back a stopover was made in Des Moines. The prisoner was placed In the Polk county jall for safekeeping over night and the next morning was taken on to Fort Madison. It has s'nce been dis- covered that the night he was in the jail here was the night that several cases of smallpox were discovered among the pris- oners in the jall. The prisoner has been vaccinated, fumigated, etc., at the state penitentiary. Many Enlistments. The record of the recruiting station at Des Moines for January and February show that there are more Iowa young men secur- Ing service with the army now than ever before. During January there were sixty enlistments and during February the num- ber reached seventy., A majority of the recruits are natives of lowa and but few are forelgn born.
