    1. [IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL] Clark County: Mrs. M. A. Johnson Tried for Libel
    2. Randi Richardson via
    3. Yuma (AZ) Sentinel, June 5, 1875, p. 1. Mrs. M. A. Johnson, editress of the Agitator, a temperance paper in Jeffersonville, Ind., was sued for libel by one Fisher for calling his whiskey shop a murder mill. She proved her statement true, and the jury was out but a few minutes when they returned with a verdict of acquittal. Therefore, we have a jury deciding that saloons are murder mills.
