THE HERALD FALsEHU0Ds
MAILED.
n PLAIN EXPLANATION BY
MR.. BRADLEY.

Since the Herald continues to
daily falsify facts concerning my
self and the several cases that have
been appealed to the supreme
court, l deem it my duty to at
least partially and briefly as posi-
BILE explain the true facts in the
case.
In the first place the county of
Fall River appealed its case
against the commissioners concern
ing the location of the court house.
With this l had nothing to do,
but while pending in the courts
the commissioners issue at differ
ent times theee warrants for S., 900
each. When presented to me l
refused payment for the reason
that the matter was pending in
court, and in the interest of the
people of Fall River county 1
could not legally pay said warrants
until the court house location was
fully adjudicated by the court.
Immediately after my refusal to
pay Mr.. Evans cash upon each
warrant he obtained judgment
against Fall River county. l
might state here these judgments
were secretly procured, as no
knowledge of such proceedings
against the county was obtained
until after the judgments had been
granted. Soon as he secured
judgment, Mr.. Evans commenced
mandamus proceedings to force
me to pay the judgment. In order
to delay the payment until the
supreme courts might decide upon
the legality OF the court house To-
cation, l appealed from Judge
Gardners peremptory writ and
mandamus to the supreme court.
Upon each of the three appeal
cases it became necessary to fur.
nish a bond. These bonds are the
same in amounts and conditions,
of which the following is a true
and correct copy:
