In behalf of John Dale, and especially
his friends, to suppress the feeling which
has become public sentiment, for dis
regarding the supplications of the suffer-
ing one in the moment of dire calamity,
which was considered villainous and
inhuman act on the part of John Dale,
we, as the family of the deceased, feel
that John Dale is excusable in the ex-
treme, on account of the extent of his
mental capacity. We hope the public
will join US in this expression, and relieve
the friends of John Dale from further
anxiety and censure. For the family of
the deceased. H. f. RoHLFTNG.
