jury. His Honor stated in the outset that
az the counsel in the case had gone over
the case so thoroughly he did not con.
slider it only important to touch on the

their agreement. They found that the

on the grounds of undue influence.

Policeman Alonzo NJ. Bodine testified
as to what took place after the party ar
rived back from the Jail. He did not
see any of the disturbance.
Frank Brannan was called and sworn
at the request of the defendants. He
swore that he arrived on the spot where
Garon received the blow but did not see
anybody strike him, although he was
there before any blows were struck by
either party. George Krusen also testi-
fed on the part of the defendants that he
saw no blows struck although, according
to his story he followed them up street
from Borden's billiard room to the spot
where Garon was etruck.
The state rested their case at this point
and the counsel for the defendants moved
that the defendants be discharged on the
grounds that there had been no evidence
produced sufficient to hold them.
Justice CleveDger overruled the mo-
tion and the counsel on each side summed
up the case.
The Justice then stated he was sorry 10
be compelled to hold the defendants for
their appearance at Court, but thought
that it was his duty to do SO. He then
held them in $500 bail each for their ap-
pearsnce at the next term of court, and

Beware of Then.

About this time of the year advertising
sharks begin to lay plans to gull and rob
the business men with holiday sheets and
schemes. They are never half what they
are represented and many of them never
circulate at all, and the only ones benefit
ted are the sharks and schemers. Business
men should be very careful not to throw
awav large share of their holiday profits
on these advertising frauds. The local
newspapers are the only cure and legiti-
mate medium of communication with the
people.

Communication.

EDITOR OF News Deer Sir My
attention has been directed to the article
which appeared in last weeks issue of
your paper, in relstion to the assault upon
Officer Joseph Garon. The article is so
palpably and manifestly incorrect and
does my clients so great an injustice, that
am called upon TO make answer, by
giving a statement of the facts as given
to me by the witnesses for the accused,
and sworn to by the witnesses for ihe
prosecution al the hearing on Thursday
night. Shortly after twelve o'clock on
Sunday morning. Nov. 18th, Barney Fitz-
patrick and Jere Madden were coming
down Main street in company with Wal
ter Frake, (who was quite drunk. whom
they were taking home out of kindness
and were met by Officer Garon at Dea-
cons store. Garon said that he would
take Frake and walk him up the street,
scare him little and then return him to
Fitzpatrick and Madden, when they could
proceed home with him. This was as
sented to, and with Garon on one side Of
Frake and Billy" Glrven on the other,
the party moved up the street. Az they
reached point just below Brainord street
the party of Eve was reinforced by Pat
rick Fitzpatrick and several others and
further on, by George Monroe. the meet
ing of the parties being entirely acciden-
tai. The crowd followed along, no attempt
pit being made to take Frake until they
reached Mark r. Sooy's office, when Bar
ney Fitzpatrick stepped up to Garon and
asked him to return Frakc and they
would take him home. Garon replied
that he was going to take Frake to Jail;
the crowd then gathered around Garon
and endeavored to reason with him by
telling him that it was unnecessary 10
take Frake to Jail and fthe officer would
release him, they wonld convey him to
his home. At this tiaron grew quite an
CRY and struck Patrick Fitzpstrick with
cane; no other blow was strues, nor was
any effort made to take Frake from the
officer. The officer then took Frake to
Jail, where he was locked up. The above
is substantially the testimony of witness
es for the prosecution, except that Officer
Garon swore that after he struck Patrick
Fitzpatrick, he received the blow he com
plains of at the hands of Patrick Fitzpat-
rick. This Il denied bv all the other
witnesses who swear positively that they
were in position to see, and that no
blow was struck by Fitzpatrick. At the
preliminary examination, which was ez
parte, no evidence was produced to i'm
plicaie the accused except that given by
Officer Garon, who not only contradicted
himself but was contradicied by the other
witnesses in many material matters
Knowing that you would not willingly
misrepresent the accused, aud trusting
that you will give this communication
the aame publicity, given to the article
referred to above, l am yours, &c;
