zee for prosecuting a pension claim.

sion. The 10Th of September, 1894, 1t was

gers son fee of $25 to prosecute the ap-
pilcation originally filed by his father,

ie" refers to the acceptance of illegal fees
IN pending cases the defendant could not
be convicted
Assistant District Attorney Taggart in
sisted that the claim was a pending one,
but Judge Cox decided that the statute.

don't at all guarantee this story, but
eontent myself by giving an account of
my interview with the Stranger, SO:
that every reader may draw his own
conclusion, as / did myself. He began
to abuse the press. l told him I was
not responsible for the press;I thought,
it was perfect myself, but still, was
such perfectly fair-minded man that
I was quite willing to let other people
hold a different opinion, and not think
It necessary to call in the police on
that account. I further asked hin. to
sblige ME By going to the editors of
the various papers he disliked and give
them a bit of his mind. He answered
that this was impossible, as they
would not allow him to see them, un-
less he would write ON card what his
business was, and that when he did
write that his object was to kill rs
many editors as possible in a given
time they still, in some unacconntable
manner refused him admittance. l
