fishes the letter and alsp letter which

The San Francisco Chronicle also pub
fishes the Mercy letter and also letter
which is admitted to be genuine, from
Garfield to ID. G. McRuer of San Fran

natures will be exactly alike.
The evidence at the examination of
Kennard Philips, who was arrested for
ibeling Garfield, shows that he never
saw the letter until it appeared in
Truth. The evidence further shows,
that Hart, the publisher of Truth, was
approached by an, agent of Marshall
Jewell, Chairman, Of the National Re-
publican Committee, and offered con-
sideration if he would publicly, state
that the letter was a. forgery. lie de-
cided to fight fire with fire, and agreed
to accept, the terms offered him. He
now publishes JEWELS letter to Gar
field, and also a fac simile of JEWELS
letter to himself, pledging him lucra-
tive office if he complied with the
agreement.
From these facts, which are published
and sworn in New York, people can
draw their own conclusions.
