ANOTHER SNIVELY MOUSE

Again the Democratic mountain OF
the state has labored and brought forth
a mouse-a little, scrawny, measly
mouse, in the form of woefully weak
affidavit from one John T. McGraw,
Democratic attorney of Grafton,
West Virginia, employed to collect the
claim of Mrs. Fallon and her children
against Henry ]. Snively for appro-
priating trust funds to his own use.
So far from exonerating Snively in the
slightest degree the affidavit furnishes
additional confirmation of the truth of
the serious charges against him. II
shows that judgments in favor of the
Fallon children were rendered against
him for the fraudulent appropriation of
funds entrusted to his care, and that
these judgments were placed in the
hands Of the big collection agency Of
r. G.. Dun & Co., of which McGraw
was the resident attorney at Grafton.
1t shows that these judgments were
forwarded to North Yakima for col
lection, and that on the plea Of sick
ness in his family, (which had eDtailed
large expense upon him." he succeeded
in still further delaying restitution by
making specious promises which he
has not fulfilled. 1t shows that an
Intellectual effort was made to collect
from one Of Snively's sureties the
amount borrowed" by H. J. Snively
personally from II. ]. Snively trustee.
IL shows further that Mrs. Fallon was
cautioned by her Democratic attorney
to be guarded in her talk in reference
TO the matter and that with the caution
fresh in her mind she made sworn
statements which Snively has failed
utterly to disprove. 1t signifies moth
ing that a proposition submitted by
Snively years after judgment had
been rendered against him and
he had fed from the town
was accepted by Mrs. Fallon and her
children. The fact remains that there
is no evidence of even so much as an
effort on the part Of Snively to fulfill
his promises and make restitution TO
the children he has so grievously
wronged. He is convicted by the adj
mission of his own witnesses. 1t would
be disgrace to the state to have the
highest Office in the gift of its people
filed by such q man.
