ty, SIS.
On this. 1st day of July, A, D.,
1886, personally appeared before
me, a notary pubic in aud fol
said county, Emanuel Crook. who
being first duly swOrn according to
law, dcpnses and says: l have read
the statement of Jane Sisco, in
which she says that Mr.. Schemp and
myself were both drunk the day we
took Sarah Scott to the Infrmary.
This statement 10 false. We we're
1ot drunk, but perfectly sober. !
SAW Mr.. Nixon's treatment of Sar
ah Scott. 1t was very brutal. The
first thing he did with her, was to
throw her very roughly onto the
floor in front of the cell. She did
not want to stay in the cell in which
she was first placed, and Nixon put
her into another one; in doing 80
he again threw her to the floor, and
Schemp picked her up. After she
was in the cell. she caught bold of
me by the arms and Nixon tore
her hold loose, and a third time
threw her violently to the floor {;
her left arm striking on the
bed. protested against such u.s.
age of the woman. Nixon said !:
damn you, 60 away, have han
died more crazy people than you
have ever seen, get out of here,'' y
and gave me shove.
When 1 came to town I went to
Judge Groghar. to See if there could
not be petition gotten up to re-
move Nixon. Groghan referred
me to G. H. Buerhaus, Prosecuting
Attorney, and said the grand ju.
ry was the proper authority to deal
with the question. l then went to
Mr. Buerhaus, who said that he
would call the attention of the
grand jury to the matter; but
think he never did so. l also went
to the Commissioners of the coun-
ty concerning the matter, but they
had no authority to act.

Wool at the time was quoted
at 26 cents. Trimmer said he
had faith in his party, and to
prove it would agree to take Ad
cocks wool for the next four
years at 30 cents per pound, four
cents more per pound than it was
under the Republican admins
tration. The bargain was made,
Trimmer got his second clip yes

the deal.
Mr.. Trimmer is not only a good

PhOtO-CraYOnR.

We desire 10 call the attention OF
the public to the fact that We are
now prepared to make the new and
beautiful style of pictures called
the Photo Crayon, that for dura-
bility and artistic appearance, far
surpasses any and all kinds of work
known to the art.
Being enabled to carry on this
work in connection with our regu
lar Photo business, we can produce
this beautiful style of portrait work
at prices far below what the regu
lar portrait artist could afford to do
his at, thereby making it possible
for large number of people to Sc
cure portraits of those near and
dear to them at a very low figure.
BY this process We can copy and
enlarge any picture that you may
wish to preserve and keep in the
family. We invite all to call at
our rooms over Harmison's store,
Logan. O., to examine samples of
this work, and we will leave it to
you to decide whether or not it is
what we claim.
Very Respectfully,

We now deny the right of any cit
izen, as a citizen, 10 visit the in
firmary and inform himself of the
manner in which it is governed,
and what treatment is accorded
its inmates. We urged the ne
cessity of an investigation, and
assumed to say that Mr.. Green
was willing and desirOus, at af1v
time, with sufficient notice, to
appear before the proper tribu-
nal, to wit: The board of dlrec-
tors, and offer evidence proving
the charges made through his
paper.
This was our position, and in
substance our "speech." Col.
weldy more fully elucidated The
law and made stronger. by judi
ciOus argument, our own position.
We were respectful in our de-
meanor and address. We intend
ed and directed our remarks to
the board, and not to individuals
present.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hansen
and the other two gentlemen, his
associates of said committee,w were
there, as he says, at the request
of the directors and citizens to
make the investigation, and they
proposed so to do. He said that
they did not come there to be
"bull- -dosed." Mr.. Hansen was
there assuming to act as a juror
in the case; and as lawyer, he
knows that j.ror should be un-
piejudiced and form no opinion
until all the evidence should be
produced to the jury. Yet know
ing this wise and equitable rule
of law, he nlade such a speech as
indicated concluslvely and clear
ly that he was a prejudiced juror,
and this, too, before hearing any
of the evidence.
Mr.. Hansen and gentlemen:-|
was there any one attempting in
any manner whatever, either by
words or force, to "bull- 2oze'
yourself or any one elsea If so,
will you particularizea We
should like to be informed what
your understanding may be Of
the definition of the term.
The report, on its face, shows
that malice sctuated its authors
in such reference TO us. No 9th
er motive could have induced it.
We were not personally interest
ed in the matter, and regret the
necessity that now compells us
to appear to take a personal in
terest IN this subject.
