distorted and misleading comment on

case is an old one and has been pending
about a dozen years. Ex-Gov. Brown
was a small stockholder in the Sheldon
Gas Stove Company with other promi-
mani DugTness men. fIe seCTptary of
that concern failed TO make his returns
to 5he secretary of state, and when
there was collapse, the New England
Rutr Co, being one OF the creditors
brought suit against eX-GoV. Brown as
a stakeholder. At the first trial the jury
uave a verdict for eX-Gov. Brown. Al
the second the jury disagreed. but at
tbs third trial the jury gave verdict
for the plaintiff. TX GOV. Brown theh
instructed his attorney TO appeal the
case and supposed that such course
ha1 been pursued. Not until his resi-
dence had been levied upon under an
evecution last July. did he learn that
