The law is plain on this matter and says that the defendant must be in-- dicted by malice. _ Three of the letters were threats of expose. Rev. Nelson identified the signature on each as t}_ut of Voliva. He told of the posting of Phone 74 the circulars in the city anr of the ridicule at him even by the school children and police of Zion.
