Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1875-09-24
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE
OF NEVADA

am charged openly through the col
rmns of the Territorial Enterprise, by
Governor Bradley, with being dishon-
est man, or worse. The accusation IS
made on an impression of the Govern
or's, backed by the testimony OF con-
vict and harlot. I shall immediately
demand of the Board of Prison Com
missioners full investigation of every
and all charges which can be brought
against me. Until that investigation Is
made, and a verdic. rendered, respect
fully ask suspension of public opinion
in the matter. P. c. HYMAN.
Carson City. Sept. ., 1915
We copy the foregoing from yester-
days Enterprise. 1t is in excellent tone
and taste. Mr.. Hyman finds himself in
the attitude OF man who has been pro-
nounced guilty of dishonesty and de-
bauchery by no less high official than
the Governor of the State, himself. 1t
is immaterial that Governor Bradley
could not, by any possibility, have actu-
ally written the letter which appeared
over his name in Wednesdays Enterprise.
He fathers it, doubtless, and that is suf-
fcient. Probably the telegraph was
employed in perfecting the giss of, and
warranting his signature to. that letter.
He. the Warden, must clear himself OF
all possible Interpretation Of guilt. or
fall. He stands upon q showing OF self
o-r,-.3 ;cno,.noa o,1 hravaS tho worst
that can be brought against him. His
fearless attitude betokens an innocent
man, falsely accused. Governor Brad
Icy says. plumply, that he believes Hy-
man has been robbing the Treasury.
He also says that Miller, his detective.
reported to him that he was satisfied
that Lyman was stealing from the
State
This brings Hymsn face to face with
an explicit avowal of suspicion. If he
is suspected, what especial kind of thiev-
ing is he suspected of? The people
have . right to know what Governor
Bradley's reasons are for thus trying to
crush subordinate officer. Also they
have . right to know upon xhat grounds
Mr.. Miller harbors these suspicious. In
this count of the indictment We find
Hyman' s reputation weighed against the
ipse dirt of Governor who hates him,
and discharged guard who was foisted
upon him to watch his movements.
In the other count preferred by the
Governor We have . notorious murderesr,
prostitute and convict set up against the |
reputation of man whose character
and standing had always been good
enough to justify Governor Bradley in
employing the actual, armed military
power of the State to force him into Of
fee. In question of veracity of this
character, and in which the charge pre-
ferred is uacorroborated by any admis-
sible evidence and controverted by many |
facts and statements, . question of We
racity between this man-killing strumpet |
and q gentleman of sufficient standing |
to have been nominated by Governor
Bradley friends for the State Senate
in Lincoln county three years ago. and
who, in common justice is entitled to
credence IS against any woman of the
town or any convict or ex-convict, is not
to be seriously entertained save for the
purposes of n,alignity and the promo
lion of the ends of injustice.
We have heard enough Of vagaries,
seen enough of wise head-shakings, been
treated to a surfeit of inuendoes against
Mr.. Hyman. Let his accusers cease to
skulk behind the COMPUTATIONS of their
own disordered fancies, let them cease
TO reiterate their suspicious or come to
an explicit statement of time, place and
circumstances. If Hyman has
been stealing. what has he filcheds
As to the nasty story trumpet up by
and for Mollie Fourshay. it is no longer
entitled to any serious listening Her
medical attendants have denied the truth
IF her filthy stories. and Hyman pre-
aounces false the explicit charge made
~ her against him. There is neither
ustness nor decency in according even
. feathers weight to any statement of
hers against the unimpeached aver
nents or denials made by Mr.. Lyman
