Wells, which appeared last week, has been
printed in pamphlet form, and Mr.. Wells,
holding up copy of it, said to his visitor,
'the charm of that letter for me is that
every word it contains is true. l think
| will not have lawyer, but
when my case is called 1 will
appear and tell the Judge and Ogden that
they are a pair of contemplate villains,
and tell the jury that they are set of per-
jured scoundrels, and defy them to do their
worst. l published the letter so that my
when In years to come they read
can also read my opinion of the miserable
devils who have been abusing me-"

covered with war paint, and anticipates a
lively time when his case is called for trial.
