MARTINS FERRY NEWS.
The Daily Chronicle of Wheeling's
Progressive Neighbor.

The News Of yesterday vigorously at
tGckS the mayor for refusing to give
ball In the case of Williams, Leonard
and Clark. The News statement was
untrue in every respect. The facts are:
Attorney Francis went to the mayor
Saturday afternoon and asked for bail
for the men, and at the time the mayor
was very busy and asked Mr.. Francis
II he could come back in the evening,
at which time he would fix the amount
OF bail. Francis consented. and when
he went back In the evening the mayor
had not yet returned from supper, and
instead OF waiting few minutes Until
the mayor returned, he LETT the city
building. In about ten minutes the
mayor returned, and waited some time
on Francis, who did not put in an ap-
pearance. The only errand the mayor
had TO the office after supper was to
meet Mr.. Francis and state the amount
OF bail. Such attacks, absolutely un-
true, are unwarranted and gain Ioth-
Ing for any person.
