John W. Garrett, of st. Louis,
Mo-. through the MESSENGER,
desires to say to the citizens of
Custer county, Idaho, and par
ticularly to the jurymen who
tried his cause wherein Thomas
Miller, Jr., had sued him for the
sum of between five and six
thousand dollars, that he is very
happily disappointed to find all
willing to do even-handed justice
to the stranger as well as those
who have dwelt in their midst.
He came the great distance be-
tween ST. Louis and Challis with
forebodings that the cause had
been brought from his own place,
where he as we'll as the plaintiff,
Mr.. Miller, had lived for many
years, and were acquainted, gen.
orally, with the same people,
with the anticipation that there
was an unfair advantage to be
gained in behalf of the plaintiff
in thus removing the trial from
the place where all the circum-
stances of the contract were
known as well as the parties.
And he has nothing but thanks
and kindest regards to all for his
good treatment in Custer county.
The case of the State VS.. Ovid
Lawson called Monday, June 25,
when the District Attorney stat
ed that he had been advised that
the defendant was willing
to withdraw his former
plea of not guilty, to the inform
alton on file, and plead guilty to
a charge of simple assault, and
for various reasons he was in
clined to accept the plea, where
upon the defendant was allowed
to withdraw his former plea of
not guilty and enter his plea of
guilty to simple assault, and was
sentenced on Tuesday to pay a
fine of $25 and the costs of the
prosecution, and stand commit
ted until the same was paid.
This action of the District At
torney has saved Custer county
the expense of one of the most
costly prosecutions it has yet
been afflicted with, and certainly
will meet the approval of the tax
payers of Custer county. And at
the same time it certainly pro
notes the best interests of soci-
ETY., as it encourages reformation
in those who are so unfortunate
as to violate the law. We are
glad to be able to say in behalf
of young Lawson that his conduct
since his arrest has won the
confidence and esteem of all with
whom he has been associated.
