Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1878-08-31


For some days past . breath OF scan
dial has been circulating in this comuu-
nity. in which the names Of Prof. John
Z. BRAY. Of Gold Hill. and certain most
sstimabls young ladies Of Virginia have
been mixed up In . very unpleasant
manner. The scandal eliminated last
evening in an investigation Of the whols
story by the Gold Hill Board Of School
Trustees, in which L. ]. Pasmors,
County Superintendent OF Schools. acted
a. prosecutor. and Prof. Bray ms defend.
ant. The subject has already gained 50
much publicity. and Mr.. Bray's char
a.,sr A. . gentleman has been assaulted
in SO public . manner that 1t was but
right that his ~vindieation. II he could
succeed in securing 1t, should Be made
a. public IA his defamation had been.
This wss a right due alike to him and to
the community. and accordingly q Nrws
reporter was detailed to be present al
the investigation. But the eondsuna-
uon OF shone'"'ion
does not necessarily require that Inc
names OF the young ladies who have be-
come 10 unpleassptly involved In these
proes.diue. be placed upon record; IL
would 10 unnecessarily cruel 10 drag
thsm more completely into public notice
than they have already been forced
through the very impolitic course taken
b, their friends. In the following TO-
port. therefore, the names Of all the
isdy witnessss, and those Of the ladies
concerned in the Insignificant events at
Lak. Tahoe. which have been 10 magni.
ied and distorted by rumor, are sup
pressed.
