ball player of this city, has received
I telegram from Chicago stating that he
had been sold to the American League
of that city. No terms of conditions
were stated, but he is expecting con-
tract by mail soon. This shows that

| why uIu uOG JOHu .. SOCut dill
/ in his illusions in the Evening Times
of Friday, March Goth. when he was
pretending to enlighten the people of
! Martins Ferry in regard to the cost
of City Solicitor, tell all the truth?
Why didn't he inform the dear people
whose votes he is SO anxious to secure
just now, that part of this $500 extra
attorney fees was the result of his adj
vice while Solicitor, that the town
could not collect from the street rail-
way for paving the street, and could
| not compel the railway to extend their
! lines? And when his successor, Mr.
! Francis, was elected, he decided it
could be done and entered suit against
! the street railway and recovered $1,000
! from said road, after the suit had been
, carried through two or three courts.
| Why didn't he inform the dear people
that Council ordered the employment
of extra attorneys and George Cook
was not Solicitor at the time and had
nothing to do with it? Another thing,
) if his testimony in the Cabell case was
compulsory, why do some of John SIS
/ friends claim that his testimony was
! the cause of the city gaining the case,
as his testimony SO affected the jury
/ that they rendered a.verdict against
/ THE plaintiff? Let me remind you of a
! fact about this 1920 recovered from
! the street railway, that the city would
/ have lost had they followed your ad-
vice, what would pay the City Solicit
! tors salary for twenty-four years
How does that strike you?
FAIR PLAY.
