TO meet fNi Herman on the 23rd.
While here Herrera took occasion 10 de-
clare, It's said, that he knew nothing Of
the frame up with Downey until after the
fight
Bishop, then Terrera's manager, also
pleaded ignorance, but he could not con-
vince Martin Mulvey Of his innocence.
They imposed shamefuny upon the lat
ter but Mr.. MulVcy got even How no
accomplished it Is familiar TO Salt Lakers
Now Herrera claims he knew nothing Of
it, His plea won't do. The writer has a
letter from Van Bushlrk. who managed
Downey In the fake match, In which he
gave away the whole nefarious scheme
lie gave places and dates where the same
fake had been pulled off before and Is
cOrroborated by others, His word should

he bothered the judge again he would
Thc Mexican did not bother Judge Boyle
am more but went TO County Attorney
Peter Bieen and asked that Mcintosh be
Iera and Mcintosh went before Mr., Brcen
ana his deputy Judge J. q. Denny, and
10th sides Of the case were heard, where
upon il was decided that Herrera had no
cause for n criminal action against Me
Intosh. lie could commence a civil suit
if he cared TO-
Mcintosh showed number OF letters
from Herrera, I'm which he authorized him
90 make the match with Long, lie also
asked Mcintosh to put up a $3.50 cash for-
felt which he did and which was depos-

At one time Mcintosh was In danger
Of losing the forfeit as Herrera was m
cinld 10 put the match OF indefinitely
Many kilograms were exchanged between
Mcintosh and Herrera, all OF which Mcln-
tosh paid for Mcintosh claims he repre-
scented Herrera In this fight Just as much
as Biddy Bishop represented him In for
ner ngfts Billy Nolan, the manager Of
the club which pulled the event on, also
recognized Mcintosh and conducted tho
business through him Mcintosh drew
up the articles Of agreement for tho prin-
clpals and acted for him IN every way,
Judge Denny informed Herrera this
morning II was quite evident that he ana
Mcintosh had been Interested IN this
match together. and It could not be dis.
puted that Mcintosh was not doing tho
work for Herrera for love OF him or for
his health. No criminal prosecution could
be made TO stand under the evidence con-
tanned IN the letters and telegrams pro-
duced by Mcintosh The law was quoted
To sustain the view Of the case that
charge Of grand larceny could not va
made TO stick, as Mcintosh took tue
money open and above board and before
Herrcra's eyes and had verbal agree
ment 20 get as much as he had deposited
In behalf Of the fighter
