JUDGE Sha-pless Defence.

dualy, so YOU see where YOU make .
your mistake when you otier me the
dollar: still ! could claim at least one 4
dollar If not Two. but will not, thanks, I
Now this letter I shall address to you /
(Messrs. Editor>l 80 you will make no |
mistake this time. Now you KNOW
that | know that every man. woman I
and child knows that the very state I
ncnis made in ref, renee Ia the DIT
fer,nt Parties; | can not call names,
aud done claim that any ONE MAS. %:
ONE PABTY OF MIN, have taken SIDE,
with every criminal, but some oNL or
toe OTHER has ALWAYS. The CRIMINAL
always has had his party, and not very
small one either. This l. what claim
and am satisfied now to leave it To my
readers il am not right; don't think
even you will dispute IT.
New, as 10 my rulings in the Roberts
-Kroll case. | may have made Il mis-
take. but that j. not the point on which
/ take eNccition.. III l mlke nll.takes
| am to he corrected and whenever
shown my mistake will only be too glad
to- acknow ledge il. Til" issue where
diilcr with you is on the right tn '-sue
warrants in criminal cases, and To WHO
and against WHOM.
A. 10 Mr.. kroll's proof had nothing
to do with that: know that six men
are better able tn judge Of these mat
tiers than one, and for those reasons ]
wished them tn settle it, Was that
wrong? if So didn see it that way.
When you say it should never have
leen brought rs criminal case, !
would ash what are our CRIMINAL laws
for, and especially those for petit
larceny" This Is too thin To admit OF
argument have nothing ngain Mr..
Roberts or any other man. but when II
person come. to me and cl;,inIs his pro-
perry has been stolen, and swear I" the
facts. and shows reasonable grounds
that II certain person whom he names
has stolen it. snail give them war
rant. II that is not my duty am 10
be learned. and will only he too happy
to hear you or anyone else on the point.
Tut YOU must show reason and law ana
shall bc with you.
Nou seen, to think have never used
any "prerogatives:" well, | don't know
rs / have, that is too big for II little fell
low like me, then, besides don't think
! have il, but will see the doctor right
away about it. We would advise the
consultation Of photographer Noah
Webster, l.. l.. d., for this particular
di>easenient. | will say this much
though, there has been II goodly num-
Der Of applications for warrants, md
after hearing all could learn on the
ease, have advised them to let the mat
ter drop: and if your charge was true,
that | WAS only after the fees, | could
have made several eases more for the
poor county, fully half as many more
as have ON the docket at the present
time.
/ owned and d. now own that there
was bad mistake made on the Opium
den racket" but l nor the constable
neither was to blame, and before you
censure anyone, if you wish to he
honest, you would learn the truth OF
both sides.
Now us to the last Chinese case you
form too hasty an opinion. That case
am sure has resulted in good for the
county, and the county treasurer
Whose business it is, strictly speaking
wa, we'll pleased with the result. anu
said it was just what he was going t.
tell us to do, and everybody who spoke
Of the matter at the Springs said i
would result in good. AS Tor the Chi
ne-e having 1.-The freedom Of the town
l will let the sheriff answer that, i
makes no difference to me; if he fail'
TO do his duty is no sign should. The
Chinenian got no free ride from TIN
Springs US you say, and had you wished
to tell the truth about this even, 20,
could have learned !. of MIR. job,
Beck. Ii you would only stop an.
take \ good, sober, honest thought yol
could very easily see what the taxpay
ers have got, or will get, the effect j
sure.
As to that letter from the sheriff, %
county treasurer. or clerk, stating tina
they want no more such cases, !
another mistske; had you been homes
in This matter you would have learne'
the facts hcfo,e committing yourselves
lis YOU could have done very easily II
ali my letters, which relate to any off
cial business is open to the public. On
| received from the sheriff states tina
the costs in the Il. joe case WAS paid b
hi, friends to get hiia out for the Ch
nese New Year, TIE Nth day Of Febrl
ary, the others served their time rs pc
commitment. When you say you hav
no doubt but what Roberts will he SCI
back with the constable. costs and fe.
not allowed, you mean that you. HOP
50. 1t cant he possible that yo
should have such doubts, that would I
AS had rs the letter written in the la
Chinese case, and the sheriff says th;
was not even On good paper, or wore
to that effect.
Now, il Looks from these facts, whic
/ defy you Ia show Ia the contrar
