WANTS IT UNDERSTOOD.
THE DALLEs, March 8, 1898.
EDITOR CHRONICLE II saw in your
columns some time ago where you said
that the jury brought in verdict against
Mr.. Herbring. We had nothing to do
with it. His honor, Judge Bradshaw,
told us what we would have to do; so
please explain, that the outside people
will know how it is. Yours, etc.
One OF THE JURYMEN.
AS my name is mentioned in this COM
munication lowing to my trip to Cali
fornia I could not answer sooner), and
as you omitted to give the desired ex-
PLANTATION, you will please allow me to
state that THE CHRONICLE reporter was
correct in every particular that he wrote
about my recent law suit in the circuit
court. However, as the gentleman who
signs himself Zone of the Jurymen"
seems to have forgotten what actually
tranepired in the court room, will pub
lish for his benefit the following docu-
ment as it appears on record in the ORR
ginal journal entry:
A. S. Collins and Mrs. A. S. Collins
H. Herbring.
Now, on this day FEB. oath, this cause
comes on regularly for trial, plaintiffs
appearing by A. S. Bennett, their attor-
ney, and defendant appearing by J. L..
Story and E. Schultz, his attorneys, and

lows: ]. G. Wood, w. C. Hansel, A.
Bettingen, sr., E. w. Trout, G. w. Mil
Ter, G. w. Joles, James Harper and s.
B. Adams, and after listening to the tes-
timony of lCitnesses and the evidence in
the case, the argument Of coursel and the
instructions of the court, retired in charge

The language of this document is SO
plain that it needs no explanation.

nary law suit came legally to an end
The severe, but just criticism of the
result of my law suit, which appeared IN
your esteemed journal on March 24th
was true echo of public opinion, and
