l, Lydia Schatz, being first duly sworn
on oath depose and say am the plaintiff
in the above entitled cause that have
read the above and foregoing petition,
know the contents thereof and the same
is true as verify believe.
LYDIA SCHATz.
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this se'h day Of Feb. u, 1890 z c,.,x
Notary Public in and for the State Of Cali.
fornia and County Of San Diego, resid.
ing at Otay. (Notarial Seal)
To attribute this affidavit to political
spite on the part Of the editor Of this
paper is sheer nonsense. At the time il
was executed, and for long time there
after, the editor of the HERALD and Mr..
Abel were on the best of terms, at least
we thought we were. Its having been
sprung al this pal ticular time to injure
Mr.. Abel politically is equally untenable.
Judge Hodgdon having become disquali.
fed to act in the case Of Schatz Va. Sells,
by reason Of his having been attorney for
the plaintiff, the matter has been in the
hands Of Judge Linn, OF Olympia, who
certainly has no political animosity
toward Mr.. Abel, and whom none who
know him will credit the implied charge,
(implied in Mr.. Abel's statement in the
Rulletin) that his action has in any way
been influenced by the editor Of the
HERALD or anybody else.
Mr.. Abel, in the Bulletin, denies that
he acted for Sells. The record shows
that the summons was certified to for
Mrs. Schatz on September 10, 1899, by
F. M. Halstead, Of Tacoma; that answer
thereto was made, on behalf of J. A.
Sells, by Hogan 4 Abel January 80,
1900; that on February %, 1900, Hogan
& Abel fled a demurrer on behalf OF
Sells. and that Abel argued that de-
murrer.
On Feb. 8, Hogan & Abel accepted SER
vice Of reply, as attorney for Sells, and
on Feb. 20 accepted service OF motion
to appoint a receiver in the case, and
that on March 8, Abel withdrew and L.
B. Bignoid was substituted in his stead.
This is plain statement Of the matter
as shown by the record, and the friends
OF Mr.. Abel will surely require better
reply to such serious charges than cry
OF "political Spite"
