McGillivray's Honesty In Con-
necticn With tho Green
Statement.
The comments OF the Madison Senti-
mel last evening on the McGillivray-
Sheppard affair are decidedly exasper-
sting. and the Messrs. Mcf5iilivray are
justly indignant at the publication.
Everything connected with the safe rob
berry has been fully and fairly printed In
THE DAILY LEADER, and our readers are
familiar with every phase OF the Ease.
Sheppard's acquittal Of the CRIME
charged, which was purely circumstan-
tial, had q, tendency TO clothe the affair
in mystery TO an extent, and the Messrs.
McGilliyray keenly felt their inability to
place the matter onsa plane completely
shorn OF suspicion. The first Mn. Mo
Gillivrsy knew OF an accident to Green,
was the receipt OF . telegram from Lake
field, Mimi, informing him Of the cir
cumstance, with q request to come
10 Laksfield. and that Green could
tell him something concerning the safe
robbery. Mr.. McGillivray lost no time
in gaining Green's bedside, and the Dr.
ing man made q statement Of hereto1ors
unknown facts Ia the case which have
been published in The DAtLv LEApER
under the ssal Of notary public. The
value OF the statement, in Law, depended
very much upon Greene recovery, which
was doubtful, the man having been des
perately injured by q freight train and
physically unable TO withstand the
wounds sustained, having been indulg-
ing In an extended debauch. Two days
after making the statement, Green OBJ
tanned q bottle Of laudanum during the
temporary absence OF his nurse, and
drinking its contents died i've hours at
ter. After concluding his statement TO
Mr.. McGillivray AID the witnesses pres
emit, Green expressed dissatisfaction with.
Il for the reason that il was not AZ strong
% he desired, many important circum-
stapces connected with the robbery lAv-
ing been omitted. The publication cf

It was left for the Madison Sentinel
TO deal IN dark Nominations that are
cruel in the extreme. and q direct impu-
tatiou upon the character and business
honesty OF the Messra. McGillivrays The
maliciousness .of the publisher Of the
Sentinel In attempting TO- blacken the
name Of the Messrs. McGillivray by Jim
putation, u positively dangerous when
il Ii taken into account that il is the
duty OF a newspaper TO present current
events in nm unbiased manner. With
this condition Of things existing, what
business man OF Madison is free from
having his honesty called into question
should he chance 70 provoke the animos-
ity OF the publisher of the Ssntinels
While ut the ann time the publisher. OF
the Sentinel insists and demands that
the business men Of Madison bestow
upon him patronags,fo r. the support OF
his newspaper. II ID the province Of the
newspaper 10 represent the community
in which It'll located, place before the.
world the commercial advantages
OF it's locality. 4 protect the
good name Of all worthy people,
etc. A man who does not possess the
character to do this, but ID 30 depraved,
morally, 40 to attempt to blacken the
name and call into question the honesty
of business men, should not, by their
patronage, be permitted to handle such
dangerous tools as type, ink and presses.
No business man OF Madison ID free from
like treatment accorded the Messrs.
McGinivray by the publisher OF the
Madison Sentinel any more than he il
free from that notorious black mailing
sheet, the Chicago Sunday Sun.
