some strife, witness two communications in this
issue. We are sorry if have been the means Of
circulating that which has caused this crossfrng.
The case was an unusual one, and the public Gu
rious to know all the circumstances. We attempted
to satisfy this Curiosity and in looking for norma

have been a prominent actor in the matter. To be
sure, did not tell him that were interviewing
him for publication; but he knew were inquiring
for facts and supposed he would tell the thing as
it really was whether it for publication pri-
waite information. We certainly gathered from his
conversation the things we stated in second ar
ticle concerning the matter Rut he did not say an
unknd word relative to Mr.. Cradle or his family,
and showed no desire to expose their private affairs
From what he said, received the impression that
he entertained only the most friendly feelings for
the dead man and his family. We are sure that We
had no other feeling. in publishing what we did.
We think the family altogether misunderstood Mr..
Shepherds intent and meaning, when they suppose
that he meant any disrespect to them to Mr.. Ora
