There is a wide discrepancy between the
statements Of Mr.. Hinckley's attorneys, In
reference TO the settlement that was made
by Mr.. Terrill. We will briefly give the two
versions, and leave the candid reader TO
decide as to which is the more reasonable.
Mr.. L. G.. 'Johnson's position is, that be-
fore the sediment was made he knew that
Miss Terrill had withdrawn her accusations
against Mr. Hlnckley; that she had declared
that he had never insulted nor injured her,
and had positively asserted that she would
never testify against Mr.. Hinckley again
Mr.. johnson further asserts that they paid
Mr.. Terrlll the five hundred dollars and paid
up the costs In the crlminal2suit; In short,
that they used up the entire one thousand
dollars that had been deposited with Mr.
johnson and Mr.. Metcalf TO idemnify them
against loss by reason Of their having signed
Mr.. Hinckley's bond In the criminal case;
that they did all this without any settlement
whatever OF the criminal case; that the one
hundred dollars was put into Mr.. Nye's
hands with the expectation that large por-
ton of it-all Of II that was not needed to
cover disputed costs-should'be returned
On the contrary, Mr.. George 2. Metcalf
asserts that before the settlement OF the
Hinckley case he had not received the
slightest information or intimatlon that Miss
Terrill had withdrawn her charges; that, on
the contrary, he supposed that she stood
ready TO re-assert them in the county court
and that his client would, II the case went
on, stand in danger Of being conyicted and
sent 10 State Prison; that because Of that
fear, he consented to the!settlement that was
made; that the settlement appertained TO the
criminal case and 10 that alone, as the civil
suits that are now being talked Of could not
have been breught-that is TO say, legal ser.
vice in the same could not have been OBJ
tained because Mr.. Hinckley had been
brought from another state into Ohio on O
requisitlon; that aside from this difficulty
he would not have been influenced In the
slightest degree by q threat Of ciyil suit
either for seduction or slander, because from
the nature Of the case, no judgement except
nominal one could by any possibility have
been obtained In such sultan no judge
ment, whether small or great, could have

WOMAN is winning her way into the
industries. In 1910 there were seven
vocations open TO her in New England
This year there are three hundred and
seventeen. Lately women have begun tc
take the place of men in the gold.beating
trade, and their work is said to be more
intelligent and delicate. In Massachusetts
women are driving men out of many in
dustries. They are largely in the majority
in the shops making awnings and tents
dress trimmings, carpetings, clothing, but
tons, fancy and cloth goods, woolens, fla,
and linen making, hair goods, paper, sill

Whatever else may be said OF Il. G. johnson, no
one will call him coward. He says he courts In
yestigation; is ready to answer all sorts Of ques
tions about the Hinckley matter. We wish to
accommodate him with a few interrogatories to
which we would respectfully solicit categorical
replies: a
| How many Of the afildavits and statements not
signed by YOURSELF appearing In the columns Of
"A Fair Hearing" were written by your Please
give full list.
ii. Was the five hundred dollars paid to Mr..
Terr without having an arrangement or, at least,
an understanding with Mr.. Nye, that the criminal
case was not to be prosccutedf
III. Is 1t true that the five hundred dollars
was paid to Mr.. Terril because you were afraid Of
civil suit against Mr. Hinckley for alander or
seductionf
". How could you arrange for the payment Of
the costs In the criminal suit IL the criminal suit
was rot to be stoppedi
" What do you think Of the consistency Of
the two positions that Mr.. Nye takes; first, that
there was no understanding with him that the
criminal case was to be dropped; second that he
took one hundred dollars to be held by him to
secure the payment Of some Of the costs In case
that was not settledS
VI. Did Mr. Webber ever take part In any
consultation with you In which the settlement OF
the Hlnckley case was under discusslonf
VII. Mr.. Terrill having stated in an affidavit
that Mr.. Hinckley seduced his daughter the
daughter having made the same statement under
oath, don't you think that five hundred dollars
was rather a large sum to pay to stop suit
against Mr.. Hlnckley for slander because he had
contradlcted the father and daughterf
VIII. When you consented to pay Mr. Terrill
the five hundred dollars, had you been informed
that Miss Terill had retracted all accusations
against Hinckly, duplicating him in her seduction
TX. When you consented that the five hun.
dred dollars be paid did you not know; first, that
Judgment against Mr.. Hinckley would be
worthless; second, that Mr.. Terrill could not gel
service on him in civil suit, he having been
brought back on this instance from another
State on a requistion; third, that the measure
Of damages In suit Of that character is such
that nothing but a nero nominal verdict could
have been obtained in any eventS
X. You state that the Ave hundred dollars was
not paid to settle criminal case. What sort Of
civil case was 1t paid to settler Was It paid fol
damages because OF the seduction Of Miss Terril
or was It q claim for damages because Of the
seduction Of Miss Terril, or was II claim fol
damages because Mr.. Hinckley had slandered Mr.
Terrill and Miss Terrillf II the latter, what was

II is said sometimes when q law
yer has q client whose appearance
is against him, he will have q
few good respectable citizens sub
poenaed on some immaterial branch Of
the case 10 give sort Of show Of respec-
liability to his client. So with these half
dozen affidavits published in "a fair hear
ing" Dr. Mclean, Nichols, and Mr..
Wilson, all good men, each making affi-
davits to the truth, but also to thing that
Mr.. Weber never intended TO deny, and
to a thing that has no more TO do with the
matter under investigation than the state
of the weather. But the names of these
men sound well and the sharp lawyer
cries himself hoarse shouting, don't you
believe DR.. Mclean, Aldrich, Wilson,
Terrell, Avery, and Nichols. These are
seven men that Webber has undertaken
to put down. What pettifogging is this I
It might do if we were trying case of
balky horse where five dollars were in
volved. But where a mans honor and
reputation and good standing in society is
at stake, be fair and just, II fairness and
justice are elements in your character.

We confess to not little surprise at
the tone Of recent editorial in the
Elyria Republican, with reference to
the bolt organized against portion of
the County ticket. We hope 1t does not
indicate sympathy with the boilers, or
an .unwillingness to support the whole
ticket with all Its editorial influence,
aud yet 1t seemed to have that kind of
flavor. A Republican who is entirely
loyal to his party can hardly afford to
neglect or ignore on the County ticket
candidate who is being opposed and
an effort made to slaughter, by u
most causeless, determined and unscru-
pulous opposition, simply on plea that
the Congressional and Presidential
campaign Is Of greater Importance.
These should be cared for, but there is
no occasion to sacrifice local affairs In
order to give them proper attention. II
Mr.. Webber Is q stitable candidate In
ability and character, 1t is not right to
allow him to be sacrificed under plea

able, honest, deserving, and If elected
would make good prosecutor. His OPP
ponents cannot point to single word or
act of his during this canvas in which he
sought to injure his opponent, or did
thing worthy even of rebuke. This any
candid man will say who is posted in the
matter. Why should the vials Of wrath
be opened upon himS Why should he be
defeated and Democrat put in his place
to appease the anger of few men who
took exceptions to the action of the COLI
vention. 1t is believed that ti.s sense of
justice and fair play is too strong in the
great mass of Republicans of Lorain
county to allow this worthy young man
TO be crushed and trampled on and they
be party 10 the outrage.

Iohnson,s e1planatIon Of the bottom facts in tho

Johnson's explanation Of the bottom facts in the
Hinckley case, when boiled down, is as follows:
Teuill and his daughter both swore that
he had seduced the latter. Hinckley denied 1t
Terril threatened TO sue him for sander. Met.
calf and johnson hastened to pay him $500 to
prevent the suit.
II any speculating fathers in the vicinity Of
Elyria make similar charge against any lof the
bright boys Of Wellington, they are not going to
deny It. It Is perious. But what imprudent
fellows johnson and Metcalf must bel They
signed Hlnckley's honda thousand dollsr. bond
his wife put $1,000 into their hands TO secure
them. They paid the whole thousand dollars to
settle threatened civil suit, with no sort or ar.
rangement or understanding that the Criminel
suit was to be stopped.
II Nye had pushed the case us 1t was his duty
to do, the bond would have been forfeited and
they would have been a thousand dollars out Of
pocket with nothing In the world TO secure them
However, we understand that Metcah says he
"Aint fool enough to take such a position
as that"
The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1884-09-10

If Hinckley had slandered Miss Ter
rel, the action, if any, must have been
brought by Miss Terrell herself. 1t
could not be brought by her father for
her. But she said that no crime had
been committed, and that Hinckley had
offered her no insult or indignity what
ever. Evidently she would not care to
bring a suit for SANDER for denying
what she herself denied, and SO we are
left to the conclusion that Terrell was
proposing to bring suit for SANDER
against Hinckley because he denied that
the affidavit which Terrell had made was
true. In other words, he had sworn his
daughter had been seduced and his repu-
tation was damaged $500 because Hinck-
ley denied it.
The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1884-09-10

TO any one who will carefully study
the history Of Nye and Webber cam
paign the conclusion will be irresistible
that the head boilers and the man or men
who are giving so much time and money
to defeat Wcbber are doing 1t not so much
because any great principle is involved,
but because heretofore they have been
accustomed to direct and have things
their own way, and they deemed the
action of the convention personal mat
ter. The following taken from "A
Fair Hearing" shows where all this
springs from. We quote: "Men who had
spent fifteen years in the Republican
party were denied fifteen minutes time
by n Republican convention in which TO
expose malicious libel and lie respect
ing Republican candidate"
And the writer might as well add that
for this refusal propose to bolt the nomi-
nation and take with me as many as can.
We had never before supposed that be-
cause one had served his party niteen
years he had obtained the right TO die
tate 10 those who had beeh less time in
the service. II is hard tor some people TO
believe that they are only men after all
and their vote only counts one; especially
is this true when for long number of
wears their word has been law and every
BODY has acquiesced in what they did.
Such are apt TO get arrogant and tyrannical
and when they think their reign is broken
they are desperate and will 90 10 almost
any length TO be revenged. Does any one
for q moment suppose If one or two Of the
leaders Of the bolt had happened to be on

Let us recapitulate. This man, Ter
rill, swore In his original affidavit that
Hinckley seduced his daughter. This
affidavit was made on the strength OF
his daughters confession and only elk
DAYS after the charge Of seduction wa1
first made. He swore in his affidavit
published In "a Fair Hearing" that
his daughter for ten days after the Of
Tense was charged, in his presence and
In the presence of others, repeatedly
stated that the charge was untrue. He
swore in his affidavit made for the pur-
pose of securing requisition to bring
Hinckley to Ohio, that said application
was "made in good faith for the pun
ishment of crime," and not for the pur-
pose of collecting "pecuniary mulct," "
or "with view there to serve him with
civil process" He swore in his affi-
davit published In "a Fair Hearing
that he received five hundred dollars
In adjustment of the matter, $50
far rs any claim was con-
cerned for civil damages. Now,
In the name of honesty, what
shall lie thought of such swearing as
the foregoing? In the name of justice
what weight should be given to the tes-
timony of such man as against the
sworn statement OF MI. Webber, a
young mar who has been upright
straightforward and conscientious In all
his dealings and whose word, until
now, has never been questioned. II
will be borne in mind, also, that Mr.
Metcalf fully corroborates Mr.. Weber:

The course Of some Of these boilers In
hobnobbing with the Democrats is dis
gusting many Of their own number.
When 1t becomes necessary in order to
teach Republican convention its duty to
call in the aid of the Democratic party, it
is high time to enquire whether the party
doing so is acting in good faith to estab.
lish principle, or from spite to get even
for some iancied injury. And yet it is
true that in some parts of the county
Democrats and so-called Republicans'are
going about together advising Republi-
cans to erase the name of Mr.. Webber
from their ballots and put on the name oi
Mr.. Sharp, The pursuing this course
ought to open the eyes of all good, honest
Republicans to see the real spirit that
actuates some of these so called reformers.

Evidently Mr.. L. G. johnson sup
posed the Republicans OF the county
were ignorant Of the nature and kind
of an affidavit Terrell was obliged to
make to get a requisition for the arrest
Of Hinckley, and supposed that they
would never be informed with reference
to it. Otherwise he is too good law
yer to commit himself to the absurdity
Of writing for Terrell his last affidavit
published In "a Fair Hearing" which
fatty contradicts the first as to the facts
of charge, and his intentions In pro-
curing Hinckley's return, and puts Mr..
johnson In the absurd and unprofes-
sional position Of allowing his client to
be blackmailed to the tune of over $500,
on the pretense of settlement Of a SLAM
der suit about to be commenced, when
there had been no SANDER, and II there
had, the law was such that no civil case
growing out OF this transaction could
have possibly been brought in any
court in this State. He ought to pray
heaven not to save him from his
friends, as the old saw has it, but to
save him from himself, for no one In
this controversy has so seriously com
promised his professional ability and
character, as Mr.. johnson himself
The writing Of one more such affidavit
for Terrell, would undoubtedly kill
both johnson and Terrell so dead as Il
demand immediate burial.
