John C. Freund, the editor of The Music Trade review, is arrested for libel; the complaint against Freund has been filed by none other than Joseph P. Hale. The arrest of John C. Freund makes it obvious that a few days prior Joseph P. Hale has tried to make William Steinway a victim of a stratagem. If William Steinway had provided the “Stanley & Sons” letters to J.B. Wass, he would have been arrested for mail theft. If he admitted his interest in The Music Trade Review, he would have been arrested for libel, as John C. Freund’s business partner.
