,,MICKEYu DOYLE LIES


In last evening" issue of Mickey
Doyles bunco sheet. Squire NJ, J. Lawlor
is quoted as follows
"Nou must be ucCu-ummatcd ass In Mondays
issue Of your paper You quote me as telling you
that the charge was Grape and iu Tuesday
issue you forget that fact and say something
entirely different
The above conversation is supposed to have
taken place betwocna "a reporter of the HERALD
aud Squire Lawlor We do not know
neither do we care very much, whether the
limb of the law has been quoted correctly by
Mickey" but we do know that the entire
article is a barefaced msstatement Of facts
from beginning to end. We are rather in
clined to the belief that Mickey" is again
lying, or that'hc is a wanderor into the deep
recesses of Cass township recovering from one
of his periodical flights to another world
We have no quarrel with Squire Lawlor,
neither do we desire any controversy with
him, but when he allows Mickey" to use
him as means Of showing his spleen and
mendacious proclivities, in justice to all con-
cerned a true statement Of the facts in the
case is due the public, although the latter
pay very little attention to "Mickcy's'
freuzied efforts at backmaiI.
In the first place, We did not quote Squire
Lawlor in Monday HERALD, as saying the
Ahargc was rape" and this statement

pafer of that date. Thi, is lie No. /.
Mn Lawlor did not usc the foul language

the Squire will not say he did because, uu-

lie Mob.
Squire Lawlor was not requested to write
"a statement by representative Of this
ttpaper LIE No. 4.
The Squire handed a written statement to
the HERALD, and in justice to that gentle
man it was given publicity. Had the proper
Courtesy been shown, that was due a repre-
sentative Of a public journal by public
official the warrant would have been shown
the reporter and Mickey" would have beer
minus an opportunity to lie. The squire''
statement does not do away with the fact
that the offence was bailablc at Pottsyillc
where court was in session.
