THE CASE OF6R0. FESsLER-A TALK WITH
JUDGE MEYER.

Canton, Jan. 19.-This evening your CORES.
pondent interviewed Judge Meyer on the Fcsaler
matter The Judge said. as he would be called
on to act in the case he could not properly ex.
press an opinion, but before ordering Feasler TO
be brought here to testify to the grand jury, as
would deVolVe on the court, he should have to
be informed on several points. The first OF these
was that Fessler absolutely had something Of
value To DISCLOSE the second that he would dis
close 1t when placed on the witness stand, and
not allow himself 10 be influenced as he claims
To have been Influenced when before the grand
Jury on the former occasion, and the third that
he could produce sufficient corroborative evi
dence TO render what he had to communicate OF
value. Unless he is able and willing to do these
things" continued the Judge, II could not In
duty to the State, which would be obliged to bear
the expense order him 10 be brought here Per
sonally may say that IL there are others guilty
hope he will be able to prove them to be 80; II
not, the matter should be set at rest"
do you consider that Fessler is able or willing
10 fulfill your conditions, JudgeH"
Il have written to him, and should receive an
answer within day or two. understand that
the person who Is said to have written the letters
to Canton from Columbus which Fessler signed
has been talking here and there that A, B, and G
will not be exposed etc.. asif 1t was the Intention
to have Fessler make only partial statement
This will not do. II he has anything to disclose
he must say 1t at ALL Fessler makes a very poor
appearance on the witness stand, and is easily
wheedled one way or another He almost acts
like child"
Judge Meyer, In his charge TO the grand Jury
this afternoon, said nothing OF the Fessler matter,
because Of not yet having an answer to his inqui.
ries Of FesSler.
FEssLER's LETTERS
The prisoner will probably be obliged TO secure
some one TO answer for him, as he can scarcely
write intelliRibly. Charles A. DOugherty, his
son in-laW is understood to have written the let
ters from him that came to q. W. Harter, Judge
Meyer, and the grand jury.
WHAT FEssLER INTENDS TO DO.
Several gentlemen stated to me tonight that
after exposing the men who assisted him to Office
what Fessler meant to confess was to give the
names OF business men, firms, and companies
who had borrowed money from the Treasurer
while he held office, many OF whom paid Attor.
ney Lynch, representing the County Commits.
sionerS, sfterward, when Lynch covered the
money into the treasury to make good, so far as
possible, the deficit Some Of the borrowers
doubtless knew they were handling county funds
which Fessler had no right to lend, but many are
men Of unquestioned integrity, who supposed
FesSler was loaning them his individual money.

SHOOTING MATCH.

Last Monday some Of our sportsmen went
down 10 Trumps grounds close to the East creek,
for the purpose Of rife shooting. Mr.. B. A Rohn,
a grocer, living near by, furnished number Of
three pound turkeys, which were shot at, at prices
ranging from 81 to S16O apiece, making a very
fair margin OF profit for the cider peddler. While
the shooting was going on, gentleman living
near by stated to the boss" that he had three
sick children, who were disturbed by the firing
and hoped 1t would cease, but as the turkey pull
lets had to be sold at about thirty cents pound
the shooting went on. A majority OF the marks
men, both from home and abroad, expressed
their opinions forcibly that they would not again
shoot under that management.
