Mr.. J. Q. Thompson's statement.


Editor Times: Your ubiquitous report
mountain of a mole hill, in the somewhat
sensational article you publish this morn
ing of suit upon alleged debt in which
am plaintiff and c. II. j. Taylor, recorder
OF deeds, defendant You tell the story
in a rather entertaining way, but inject
into the ''tale of Woe Mr.. "Taylor's
side of the case vicariously from The lips
of his attorney. The attorney must have
small hope of success in trying the
issue in court. or he would not be so eager
to TRY it in The newspapers. -
As Mr.. TayloT's attorney has been be-
trayed into some awkward errors, permit me
to set him right. Your reporter quotes
him as saying that his client was greatly
surprised by our bill: that his client re-
Gently demanded of the Chronicle retrac-
ton of an unfavorable publication, and, to
quote his words:
Mr. Thompson responded by sending
bill for $500. This was the first intima-
ton Mr. Taylor had that Mr.. Thompson had
any bill against him whatever"
Yet we hold letter from Mr.. Taylor in
his own handwriting, dated October 20,
1894 acknowledging receipt of such In
lilldllpA VI Jul AOh NoAh tOhSt
etc.
Another rather grotesque statement from
MI TayIor's attorney is printed by you in
these words:
while the statements in the Chronicle
article of March 8 are false, Mr. Taylor does
not consider the Chronicle of sufficient
Importance for him to take any notice
of it,"
He doesn't?
UWhy then demand a Tetraction of our
article of March 8 complained of?
Mr. Taylor wrote Us some letters in 1894
during the confirmation struggle. In one
of them he said, indicating his estimate
of the Importance of the Chronicle:
Dear Rir. Thompson: This is to some
extent your fight Ohe contention for the
confirmation)-do what you can for me
in every way you can.
In another dated April 20, 1894, he
says:
MY coed friend: You may think it
strange that [ have not been in to see you
this week l viii explain all when we
meet. Leave no stone unturned. l mean
to win this fight IL 1 do l shall try
earnestly to please my friends and disappoint
my enemies. l will try 10 get in TO see you
this afternoon. Yours, ETC.,
c. H. j. TAYLOR"
And many others of same tenor.
Your article in this mornings Times
having given Taylor's side, you will no
doubt fraternally publish this, as in small
degree replicative and the side of

"You know, they say that people like

the co8rt.
"Weu, gress they are, pretty much, :"
replied the witness.
Mr. Ingersoll said that he went to the
station house to see Miss Delaney after
she was arrested, taking a copy OF The
Times, which contained tie story. with
him, and informed her OF what she was
charged. He detected no sneil OF coa. oil.
''AFe your olfactorie5 all right?" asked
Mr. Mullowney.
Yes, sir; I'm good smeller."
The satchel carried by the prisoner was
produced, however, and Mr.. IEgersoll ac-
knowledged that the odor OF coal oil was
very strong.
Miss Delaney seemed to be very much
amused at the testimony of blr. IEgersoil,
smiling broadly several times during the
examination.
Judge Miller decided that it would be
necessary to hold the case over until Fri
day, when more thorough investigation
viii be held, and in the meandme Miss
Delaney VIII be confined at No. police

incendiary. A burned match was found
near the coal oil stain, and the fuse or
the floor. Entrance tp the school was

The attempt TO burn the place was a
hungling one, ana il = believed he woulC-be
firebug committed the act to create a
sensation and not TO burn the school or

made is III the extreme rear OF the schools

fever from recent attempts to burn st.
