1no tOllOWlng circular lelIeT, WhiCh
is self-explanatory, is being widely cir
culated over the city and territory;
GUTHRIE. Ok, December, 1893.
DEAR SIR: The christian ladies OF the
city of Guthrie send You tli' circular let
ter i'm behalf of John l.. Dassett. who was
convicted OK murder i'm the first degree IN
August Of this year, and has been SEN
fenced to be hanged ON the sth OF jan
uary 1894.
As the evidence i'm his case is purely cir
cumStantlal, and as Mr.. DaSSet claims To
be innocent of the crime of which he has
been convicted. and as he is a poor man
and destitute Of money with which to de-
fray the necessary expenses Tor the COM
pletion of the record in the case, aud as
we believe you to be friend OF mis-, we
take this method OF asking you to assist
him financially.
We think there is ground for reason
able doubt as to his guilt. and as his con-
duct since his confinement here, together
with his past good character as shown by
the evidence at the trial, lead ms TO be-
lieve that he should have an opportunity
to present his case to the supreme court,
we hope that you will kindly sassist him
I'm this matter by contributing such
amount as you feel able to spare.
Contributions can be sent to any of the
following named ladies. or John l.. Das-
sett. United States Jail.
Mrs. l.. NJ. FOSTER,
Mrs. f. l.. NEWTON,
Mrs. j. B. BEAOLEs,
Committee.
Mr. Dassett was questioned by The
LEADER reporter last evening regard
ing the action Of the ladies.
"Do you think your case will reach
the supreme court Mr. Dassett?" asked
The reporter.
"Tm sure don't know, but | hope
and pray that will be given one more
chance. feel very grateful, indeed,
to the kind hearted, christian ladies
for their noble work in my behalf and
l feel sure they will be repaid for their
efforts ! do not wish to say anything
more about my case at present"
"If you desire to make statement
Mr. Dassett, THE LEADER columns are
at your disposal" suggested the re-
porter.
II thank you heartily, but prefer
not to say anything now"
Jailor McGill says prisoner Dassett
is model prisoner, and has not so
mu h as given a shadow of trouble
during his confinement. MIR. Dassett
is kind hearted, intelligent man and
his good behavior and respect to the
Jail officials acts as talisman to his fell
low prisoners, who feel his influence.
1 The work of the ladies referred to
above is bearing fruit and it is hoped
enough money can be raised to assist
him in appealing his case to the SUI
preme court.
The evidence against Dassett was all
circumstaptial and there are very
grave doubts as to his guilt Dassett's
only hope now is in the action of the
supreme court in his case. 1t is assert
ed that a new trial would bring 10
light evidence that will clear him.

and the cost is said to be less than half
that of real silk ribbons, the fabric being
almost as good in appearance. But at
Besancon it seems that the production 81
silk from wood pulp has been long car
