Editors of the Kennebee Journal:
I have been informed that improper and
unfair use is being made of my nomination
as Trustee of the Insane Hospital. take
this occasion to say that my nomination by
Gov. Plaisted was entirely unexpected and
unsought by me. 1t was as much surprise
to me as to any one. 1t was made subsequent
TO the beginning OF the investigation of the
Insane Hospital and has. believe. been
used to prejudice the minds of men against
the investigation The conduct of the investi-
cation has placed me in false position
which l could not anticipate. However l
NAV suffer personally from the part ! am
compelled to take in that investigation, SIM
pfe honor and justice and duty. compels me
10 hold the position am in with reference to
II 70 the end seek no political office, but
if | ever hold one shall do my duty to the
best of my ability, though the heavens S''"''

whole account amounted to $50, in two items,
S51 for putting on felt roofing and S25 for

The def ense is that there was no contract
for putting on the paint and that the telling
was worthless, the roof leaking more after it
wa. put on than before. The carriage was
to be S65 in stead of $50. All of which
the pitt denies. The jury rendered verdict
