EVIDENTLY Mr.. E. G. johnson sup
posed tho Republicans Of the county
were ignorant Of the nature and kind
Of an affidavit Terrill was obliged to
make to get 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 Terrill his last affidavit
published in "a Fair Hearing" which
fatty contradicts the first as to the facts
OF the charge, and his intentions in pro-
curing Hinckley's return, and puts MIR.
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 SIAN
der suit about to be commenced, when
there had been no slander, 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. Hc 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 MIR. johnson himself. The
writing Of one more such affidavit for
Terrill would undoubtedly kill both
johnson and Terrill SO dead as TO de.
mand immediate burial.

candid reader to decide which is the
mora reasonable.

candid reader to decide which is the
more reasonable.
Mr.. E. G. Johnson's position is, that
before the settlement was made he knew
that Miss Terrill had withdrawn her
accusations against Mr.. Hinckley; thai
she had declared that he had never in.
suited nor injured her, and had posi-.
lively asserted that she would never
testify against Mr.. Hinckley again.
Mr.. johnson further asserts that they
paid Mr.. Terrill the five hundred dol
lars and paid up the costs in the crimi-
nal suit; in short, that they used up the
entire one thousand dollars that had
been deposited with Mr.. johnson and
Mr.. Metcalf to indemnify 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 ex.
pectation that large portion of it--all
of it that was not needed to cover dis.
puted costs-should be returned.
On the contrary, Mr.. George P. Met
calf asserts that before the settlement
Of the Hinckley case he had not re-
ceived the slightest information or in
timation that Miss Terrill had with
drawn her charges; that, on the con-
trary, he supposed that she stood
ready to reassert them in the county
court, and that his client would, II the
case went on, stand in danger Of
being convicted and sent to State
Prison; that because Of that fear he
consented to the settlement that was
made; that the settlement appertained
to the criminal case and to that alone,
as the civil suits that are now being
talked Of could not have been brought
that Is to say, legal service in the
same could not have been obtained be-
cause Mr.. Hinckley had been brought
from another State into Ohio on 9
requisition; that aside from this diff
Guilty, he would not have been in
fuenced in tho slightest degree by ,
threat Of civil suit, either for seduc
ton or SANDER, because, from the ma
ture Of the case, no judgment except ,
nominal one could by any possibility
have been obtained in such a suit, ant
no judgment, whether small or great
could have been enforced against Mr.
Hinckley. He states positively that the
criminal case was settled and the cost
paid, including the payment of 800 u
Mr.. Nye for his expenses and tina
there was no understanding, at leas
with him, that the one hundred dollar
was to be returned; that at tn,
time no itemized statement of these ex
pcnseS was furnished by Mr.. Nye, anC
that he had no information, until lonj
afterwards, that the one hundred dol
lars was greatly in excess Of any OK
penses that Mr.. Nye had incurred.
The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1884-10-08


Mr.. JoHNJoN's statement that the
thousand dollars was not paid by Mrs.
Hinckley TO settle the criminal case,
and that she twas informed and advised
that by no possibility could conviction
be obtained, but that she paid 1t to get
rid of the whole controversy" is little
strange In view Of the fact that he
claims the whole controversy was not
TO be settled, viz. the criminal charge.
II Is entirely incomprehensible to any
but such legal mind as Mr.. Johnson's,
but in view Of the fact, as he states,
that no conviction could be had on the
criminal charge. and of his knowledge,
that by no possibility could case be
brought for civil damages II there was
no proof that there had been crime
committed, or for SANDER, on account
of the law on which requisition tor
Hinckley's arrest was obtained, tina; be
should allow Mrs. Hinckley to waste
her $1,000 simply by reason Of her anx.
iety to get rid Of the suit and return
home, when by waiting five days longer
the grand jury would have met, the
prosecution would have wholly failed,
the only witness against the defendant
having retracted her statement, and con.
sequently his honor would have been
completely indicated. Thepoor woman
would have saved all but her attorneys
fee, say 5000, and the remaining sS0C
would have been fair compensation
for remaining in Ohio an additional
week. As an honest man, desirous Of
protecting the interests Of his client, Il
is absurd TO suppose he would have ad-
vised otherwise. The public will judge
whether Johnson's theory convicts them
of stupidity and dishonesty In allowing
their client TO waste his money In the
settlement Of q fictitious and impossible
suit for civil damages or slander. Mr..
johnson says his explanation defends
all the parties TO the settlement of,the
Hinckley case; that by 1t no one is in
iured. Great Heavensl Is the man
lunaticP or would he not see that his
theory condemns all; that IL Is absurd
and reflects imbecility and professional
hishonor, II not crime, upon all who
we're parties to itP So far from being
reasonable and satisfactory we predict
bat those who now publish and defend
will, before this campaign is over, be
uniting for some cheap pettifogger who
till, for a consideration, advise them
Pw.to withdraw from their absurd po-
tion. Mstcalfs version Of the case,

Wantcd---A Word.

A correspondent writes to the Liter
dry World as follows: 1.-THE English
language with all its boosted copious-
ness, is still in want of word, and
hardly day passes that anyone speak
ing the language does not feel the
want. The word that shall express per-
sonality without denoting gender-a
word that can be used In place of either
he or she. The need of such word is
too strongly felt by everyone to need
much argument. At present two ways
are devised to overcome the difficulty.
Ordinarily one would say. Everyone is
the architect of their own fortune'--in-
correct but expressive. II the speaker is
one accustomed to speak by the card
he says. Everyone Is the architect Of
his or her own fortune'-cumbe rsome
but exact. Cannot some of our schol-
airs devise word that shall predicate
nothing Mt all about gender. that can
DO used indifferently for he or sheP"

Not More---Not Less.

Calm was the night IN that still Autumn
weather.
And calmer still and colder were the twain
Who. parting then. might yet have kept to-
Had pride not stronger been than even pain.
No sad reproaches uttered at the end;
And should they meet, years hence or on the
morrow,
Twill lie with courteous ease. as friend with
friend.
Oil hooking words for those who once loved
madly
Henceforth 10 be mere friends-not less
not more
Deep in each heart death-knell sounded
sadly,
For love, deemed deathless in glad days Of
yore.
Lest broken tones betray a vain regret;
And on the lips the forced smile must alter
To show how, meath that mask, griefs lines
are set.
Let them take heed. lest any words be spoken
To rouse some ghost from out the buried
Though the dear ties that bound them once
A strange spell fingers yet. and holds them
fast.
Not less than friends-but, ahl the friendship
Seems of such little worth now love is done;
'Tis hard TO take the hand we coldly prof.
fered
And feel the tender, thrilling touch is gone.
Gone with the day, when just one word was
needed
These heavy clouds of pride and doubt to
lift;
But ali in vain loves dying voice had pleaded
Now far apart each lonely life must drift
And she viii never know, at their next meet

How hard he fought an outward calm TO
gain,
Nor will he see, beneath the friendly greet
ing,
How her true heart still ycarns 10 him
