ternity, in Recorder Aherns court, we iutimated,
upon information received that the attorney
whom we designated as Titan, had made a flank
movement, by constructing a compromise,
before the case came before Judge Ahern.
Titan requests us to say that we
placed him in false position inasmuch as what
we said would show that he was concerned in
compounding an offenae against the statute Of the
State. Our lawyer friend has asked us to give
him the benefit Of his denial and we cbeerfnliy do
so, because we desire to do justice to all men.
