12 HE WITH THE EVIL EYE Sits Complacently Listening to His Own Prose i THERE IS A FLOOD OF IT Colonel Duncan Submits His Case Without Testimony The Express Fights Back With Vigor When Its notion for a Non-suit Is Denied The Duncan-Express libel suit, which was resumed yesterday morning in Department Six was either not widely known or else it had failed to inspire In the public the interest to which it is certainly entitled from those whose time is their OWn and who seek for diversion to while away the weary hours of leisure. The lobby of the court room was but sparsely occupied, but among those present was noticed pretty Mrs. Alma Floyd Smith, who wore a delightful little East Side spring hat, and Chase A. Codori. e.litor of the Phoenix.

These are witnesses in the case. JJColotiel Blanton Duncan of Kentucky put in an early appearance. He Carrie i a huge bamboo basket, tlie contents of Which were the subject of much speculation. They consisted of a lot of documents ami some fresh lemons. While Henry T.

Gage was reading the pleadings to the jury the Colonel's time was taken up in nodding approvingly, frowning ominously or sucking a lemon fiercely or ecstatically, according to the particular passage which tittilated or offended the tympanum of the gentleman's auricular appendage. The defense brought no law hooks, hut had a whoclharow load of dictionaries, unabridged or otherwise. "Yes," said Mr. Gage, "It is quoted from Falb" While the answer was being read by counsel for the defendant lie supplemented it by running comments, which caused the jury and everybody else to smile repeatedly. Mr.

Gage said that he expected to prove by Colonel Duncan himself that among other powers he claimed to be endowed with was that of guessing correctly the result of political elections before they had taken place, and that the Colonel had bragged that by thus predicting a certain political issue he had won from Lucky Baldwin the sum of $11,000. The defendant having admitted the publication of the article upon which the libel suit is based, Colonel Blanton, as soon as the pleadings had been read, submitted his case. A look of pain spread over the faces of the people in the lobby and the jury even looked disappointed when Mr. Gage immediately moved for a non-suit. The grounds upon which this was asked were that Colonel Duncan hail failed to prove a sufficient case for tlie jury, because the publication was not actionable per se and that there was no evidence that it was false or privileged, or that the meaning of the language complained of was susceptible of tlie meaning claimed by Duncan: also because the article was not a libel, that there was no evidence that it injured him in his person, reputation or occupation that no actual or special damages had been proved, and the court could not deduce from the language of the article that any damage hail been suffered.

And. as a further ground for a uon-Miit, it was stated by counsel that the evidence given on behalf of Colonel Duncan had proven the Express article to he substantially true. "It is quoted Irom Christ," said Colonel Duncan The non-suit was denied by Judge Mc- Kinley. Th in brought the case down to business, and Mr. Cage requested Colonel Duncan to please take the stand.

A look of intense surprise suffused the features of the gentleman from Kentucky, who spasmodically grasped the back ot Judge Branson's chair and be take the stand, sir!" Being informed that it was no other than himself who was to occupy the witness chair, the Colonel picked up his lemon and took his seat upon tbe leather bottomed rocker. He admitted that he was the editor Slid manger of the People's I'nion during its short-lived (areer. Mr. Gage now offered in evidence one of of that paper containing an article entitled Kalh there is in coming predictions verified so far. This, counsel stated, was offered for the purpose of showing the pr -v lea by nton, as averred in the defendant's answer, and that Flovd read tliem.

Duncan alleges that he had been libeled because the Express said that he upheld Professor Falb'fl calculations. Mr. Gage proposed topnve hv Duncan himself that he did. The article upon Falb'l calculations was then read by counsel, and proved to be the most wonderful and astounding astrotjomico meteorologiro-astrologioo-biblieopolitioo-prophetico-nonsenaioo salmagundi it was DOS lble to hear. Colonel lllantoii Duncan did not trust to Mr.

Gage's reading, but dug into the fisherman's basket, from which he drew a copy of the Peoples' I'non, and he carefully chrckedjund collected the words of the" nrticles as they fell from counsel's mouth. He insisted upon the enumeration of quotation murks. He asked counsel if a ertain passage then being read was not qnoted. replied Mr. Gage, "it is quoted from Falb." "It is tiiiotcd from Christ!" was the retort, and everybody laughed.

Judge Brunson Objects to the Reading of the Colonel's Editorials The rest of the morning session was taken up with the reading by W. T. Foley. associate COUSncl for the defense, of articles written or published by Colonel Duncan in the People's I'nion, consisting of gloomy and fearsome prophesies of calamities winch were to happen In Aug.ist last. There was a feeling of relief all around that all these horrors had been set for last year instead of the present.

And the Colonel followed every line, as it was being read, on his own copy, and spared neither comma nor colon to the weary reader and the jury. He denied that lie had been the editor of the People's cause after the 10th of August, but being shown a copy dated Monday, August 13, 1804, admitted that while there was no proprietor of the paper on that day, it had been published in order to print an article impeaching Judge Ross, which was intended to be mailed io the members of Congress. Then followed some more articles, among which was a learned dissertation upon the effects of the conjunction of Venus with the moon upon the Los Anb In the afternoon the jury was entertained by the reading of an'article which is from tiie pen oi "Jayhawkcr," crs while a valuable contributor of a morning contemporary. It is entitled "Mai d'pecbio," which the People's Union translated as the Evil Eye, whereas it means really sore eve, or ophtha mia. It tells a ridiculous story about the way in which people who had litigation with Colonel Duncan got into the habit of just dying whenever things did not come the way of He With the Evil prototype of Haggard's She That Must Be Obeyed.

Major Osborne Watches the Proceedings After Henry Gage had read this story nearly to the end. bt announced that he was seared, and Mr. Foley had to finish the gruesome recital of the taking off of the victims of the Eye. The question was" then asked plainiff whether he had predicted the result of the Presidential campaign with such accuracy that he got E. J.

Baldwin on account of it. Before his counsel could prevent his answering Duncan replied that he had not predicted it. but he was cut short in the remainder of reply. An objection to the question was sustained and the defense withdrew tlie Colonel. Mr-.

Alma formerly Miss Alma Floyd, then took the stand. She testified thai she had read the false prophecies in the Colonel's paper at her grandmother's house and was scared by them. She bought a ticket for Helena, in consequence of her fears. She saw Mr. George S.

Banford on the train and in hia presence the Falb and Dnncan predictions were unfavorably discussed by the other passengers. FranK 1.. Floyd father of the preceding witness, admitted having given the facts relating to his daughter's departure to the Evening Express reporter. She hacl spoken of her tears before leaving Loa Angeles, which wore largely produced by tint accounts she read in the People I'nion, ami her father hud been unable to reassure her. Mure documentary evidence from the prolific columns of the defunct journal, People's Union, relating to cyclones, evil eyes and other sundries was ready by the defense, and then Colonel Duncan was asked to return to the witness chair for the purpose of identifying an article entitled Colonel Duncan of Kentucky, lie admitted that he had ordered it published in his paper, Strenuous objections were made by Judge run son the reading of this article, which is highly laudatory of the gentleman, and the court sustained these objections.

Another paper on the fulfillment oi predictions met with better luck, and was injected into the minds of the jury by Mr. Foley. When he got through the jury looked somewhat weary. In the audience a legal gentleman of great acumen was snoring gently, but he awoke with a Start and looked at the clock, when Mr. Foley ceased.

Colonel Duncan's versatility is something wonderful, as appears from those articles. He can write about a dozen subjects, if not of all at one time, at least nearly at the same time. There was a little discussion about something, and then the Colonel forgot he was not at a race course. He said with gnat conviction: "Well, noiy I'll 1. -I- i ti 1 1 'j hi.it* LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MOENING, MARCH 9, 1895.

of it. He dissuaded the Colonel from undertaking to bet in the room, nnd assured him that under no circumstancers would he hoi the stakes. Colonel Duncan ditl not insist. Mrs.Floyd, mother of Mrs. Alma Smith, admitted showing letter from her daughter in which the words "California Crank" were used, to Mr.

Nelson of the Express. After that the reading of Duncan's editorials was resumed, with the result that the lobby was rapidly cleared, and only those who couldn't get away remained tq listen to the pearls of wisdom with a Kentucky trademark. After the introduction of three telegrams from Mr. George S. Sanford nt Ggden, announcing the return of Miss Alma to the paternal home, after she had become convinced that her lears of tidnl waxes were groundless, Court was adtijornetl until 10 o'clock this morning.
