RUBY HILL, Nov. 10, 1881.
EDITOR SENTINEL 1 NOTICED IN ONE
IL Of the few evening papers that found
their way to Ruby Hill this evening, an arn-
Gle and letter concerning my action in the case
Of the boy mentioned in the SENTINEL a day
or two ago, 1 would fain let all the trouble
attendant npon my action with ]. e. Ander.
son q few weeks ago rest, until IL is serted ~
the proper time and place. The dirty, lying.
lecherous dogs running the Leader Tiny name
is William John Penrose, and 1 live on Ruby
Hill, next dor to the City Brewery, are aware
Of the fact that l am under bonds, and really
in the clutches Of the law, and they take ad-
vantage Of this fact 10 sssail me at every point.
They know full well that l have the best OF
the case in every respect, and the only salts
faction they will get is venting their spite
through their paper; no. forgive me, not their
| paper, but a paper they are funkeying for.
| And now that the terms mahogany, Guiteau,
| would-be assassin ard Thug have been USED
SO often that they stink as LOUD as the Return
ing Board Frauds Of '76, they. with the eager
| ness with which a cat pounces upon a mouse,
take up this Boyle question and try to make
capital out of 1t. Now. sir. you know that
never asked, or knew, that you were going 10
| publish anything connected with that affair. l
| respected the feelings of the boy more than
that: but, as other people have had their say,
I think it is but justice that l should have
mine. 1 will therefore give the public afull
account of the whole affair In the first place,
Boyle is a confirmed drunkard, and 1t Is only
about three months ago that he was confined
in the County Jail for nearly three weeks with
delirium tremens. Last Sunday the party at
whose house Boyle was sleeping came to me
and asked me to have him removed, as he was
continually drunk and disturbing the other
dodgers. l smoothed the matter over for the
time being. aud things went along until last
Tuesday, when Boyle's condition was such
that I lad to arrest him and take him 10 the
Eureka Jail in Q drunken condition. On re-
turning to Ruby Hill that day my wife told
me that Boyle's boy had been there, and said

most naked. and she expressed q determine
ton to see him clothed, even IL We had to do
1t ourselves. 1 therefore went to Mrs. Boren
and asked her If anything could be done for
the boy. She said the father and son had been
boarding with her and owed her $50, and she
could not do anything for him, but II some
one would clothe him she would feed him for
a little while. I never asked her for the boy,
but told her to ask hin II he would be Q good
boy If 1 would take him to live with me and
clothe him properly. She asked him, and the
boy came to my house, and said II / would do
for him as l had intimated, he would do any
thing in the world for me. 1 then took him
to Eureka to Mr.. Campbell. Chairman Of the
Board of County Commissioners, who told me
that there were lots Of such cases around, and
he was powerless to assist me until the Board
met; but il I would clothe the boy he would use
his influence at the next meeting Of the Bosrd
to have $40 or $12 dollars (no more) refunded.
The next day l went to different stores and ex.
pended nearly $50 for him in clothing, ETC.,

will say right here. l am aware Of the fact
that / am not adequate to the task Of launch
ing out ON n newspaper controversy with the
sneaking ours who run the Leader-Leadtr
of what2 Some Of them ought to be disfran-
chised. You, Mr.. Editor, can bear me out in
the assertion that ! never song I TO give any
publicity to my doings in the above case, and
I stop right here, and 1t will be well for some
other folks to do the same.
