The statement is being circulated

The animus for this is plain, but for

misled we will state that no one con.
nected with The Herald had anything
to do with the filing OF the said infor-
nation and the first thing known in
connection with the papers was by
a telephone from the district attorn-

Raymond was placed on the informa-

formation had been drawn and ready
for filing before any one connected
with The Herald had an inkling of
such prosecution, but from articles
appearing in the Democrat it would
seem that the writers on that sheet
were taken into the confidence of the
district attorney, or had obtained in
formation that the informations
would be filed the night previous. All
The Herald editor has to do with the
case is in regard to information that
came TO him at the time as to the val
