Grossman said be could not afford TO 20

Ivan that all the expenses would fall on

after doing a large amount OF detective
work there aud, OF course, refreshing the
party they drove on to Trudel's; that
Sullivan bad a private conversation with
Trudell, who said at once, so Sullivan in
formed Grossman, that he would inform
the parties, he knew who they were, and
they would no doubt come in and settle
the case. This nights fun cost Gross
man. 30 be says, about $40.
What Sullivan told Trudell is not gen.
orally known, but that gentleman, evI-
IDENTIFY from its tenor, was fully impressed
with the idea that Grossman was alter
money, which, however, Mr.. Grossman
has repudiated all along, but neverthe-
less the officials OF Keweenaw county
caught on to the same idea, probably
from what they heard from Trudell, for
Sheriff Mitchell, in letter to us. dated
February 10. says: "That upon hearing
OF the affair | investigated 1t and ascer-
tanned who the assaulting party was and
am awaiting some action from Grossman
before proceeding further. | might, OF
course, proceed without Mr.. Grossman,
but as be would very likely prove to be a
somewhat unwilling witness, the action
would not be very effective. Mr.. Gross
man, accompanied by one OF Calumet's
officials, was hot on the trail OF the Of
tenders Saturday night, and l under
stand wanted to settle il by little cash
This is why | am led TO believe be, Gross
man. would prove to be a rather unwill-
ing witness. However, 1 am ready to
act at any time hear from the aggrieved
party"
From the above, it will readily be seen
that Sheriff Mitchell had ascertained, as
his duty clearly was, who the guilty party
was, and which no doubt could have
been easily obtained by Sullivan from
Trudell by telephone without leaving
Red Jacket. 1t looks to the NEWS it
would be pretty severe upon Mr.. Gross
man IL he should be called upon TO paw
Mr.. Sullivan simply because the plan OF
that gentleman failed to work, through
Mr.. Grossman going to Keweenaw, as he
should have done in the frat place, and
making a complaint, although such a
procedure ended in what many people be-
lieve to be a miscarriage OF Justice. 1t
should be remembered that Mr.. Gross
man has very imperfect knowledge OF
the English language and OF the ways Of
the country.
