THE HEARST PRESS
LIBEL ACTION DISCONTINUED HANDSOME PAYMENT MADE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. ■ WASHINGTON, December 25. A message from Jersey City states that Mrs Frances Hall and her brother, Willie Stevens, discontinued a libel action against tho Hearst newspapers upon a handsome payment by the latter for libelling them in connection with charges that they murdered the Rev. Edward Wheeler and Eleanor Mills, the choir leader in Mr Hall’s church. Hearst’s papers pursued them with extreme ferocity through a most sensational maze of evidence, but the jury freed them.—Australian Press Association.
