that Mathews would not 90 to Bullion
vile ai.h him; asked me to go. l told
ln had not lost any Italians. Upon
that he left; did not know whether he
would 60 over and guard the Italians or
90 to Phoebe for more help. 1t seems
that he went to Phoebe and went quick,
and thereby saved the Italians that hor-
rible fate awaiting them.
Now, Mr.. Editor, these are the facts
Of the case just as they TRANSFERRED; just
the part that myself and Claud Atchison
had in the affair which ! will solemnly
swear to and which ] can positively
| prove, and are substantially the same as
| told Turner, Wertheimer & Co., when
they were here Sunday and yet after all
the ''article" in question.
What can you Mr.. Editor, and. what
can the community in general think
when two of our prominent merchants
join with the Sheriff in resorting to such
methods to cover up their imbecility and
assininety, for it is the opinion of the ma.
iority of the people of this town that the
officers could have caught the Italians
if their Judgment and discretion had
equalled their cupidity. And again the
people of this town join with me in an
indignant protest against the said article,
as it is injurious to us as individuals and
as a community.
A few criticisms on the Article and !
am done:
LIST. The officers believing the stor
les told, ETC., etc. Who told them l
did not see them and the Italians did
not show up in Panaca until the officers
had been gone eight hours.
2nd. Johnny Hardy took the stand,
etc, etc" If Johnny Hardy had found
those Italians and they had given him
81 50 piece he would have let them go.
Bird. acting on Hardy's statement.
Sheriff Turner ETC., ETC." Let me tell
you the impression created by their ap.
pearance, reinforced by Deputy Rives
from Desert, going down the street,
with their big coats, smoking their CT.
CARS. The little children thought it was
another "Pioche Minstrel Show" with
little Sheeney Sam as Low Comedian,
and one precocious youth of American
parentage, said soto voce, "Another
Snide Show"

Turner, Wertheimer and Hardy, who
have had the opportunity of interview.
ing the people of Panaca, that the Ital.
ians were hidden by Mr. Rich and as
sisted by him to evade the arms Of jus.
tice." They Lie, individually and col.
lectively, for no man in Panaca gave
them more information than / did, and
| defy them to produce one single wit
ness to substantiate the assertion.
9Th. "Wertheimer, with several wit
nesses at Panaca, is of the belief also
that Claud Atchison, under the cover OF
darkness, did last Saturday night hitch
up rig and take them to Hebron, Utah. y
he Lies, he cannot produce single
witness to that effect, because it is i'm
possible, for he left my house at II
o'clock at night and was at my house
again at 7 o'clock next morning Tht

e the better for him. He told dime move

:. Sth. "The case Of Rich and Atchiso

o right, Mr. Editor; we court just such a
o investigation, and in the words OF tn
d Bard we will exclaim, clay on McDut
