SLABAUGH PITIES HITCHCOCK
County Attorney Regrets Only that He
and His Paper Arc So Easily
Used by Others.

well, Judge, see that Hitchcock is
opposed to watch dogs"
L understand So" replied Judge Sla-
oaugh. We'll, I'll tell you Hitchcock Is
not a very bad fellow, after all. He really
don't know better. am sure don't know
what he Is mad about. But a man who
does something in this world will always
De attacked by such fellows. 1t is simply
history repeating itself. The trouble with
my friend, Hitchcock. is that he and his
paper are so easily used by others. really
pity him and harbor no i'll feeling against
MN and shall always speak kindly OF
him. as have always done. He is a dis
appointed man, a failure in whatever he
has tried. II it were not for strong men
assisting him his paper would die a timely
death But. as David Harum says. 'Fleas
are good for dog. as they keep him from
worrying over his troubles My motto Is.
DO right and let the fieas bite
And, say, II is really amusing TO see
now my friend Hitchcock interprets facts.
Recently his paper stated that 1 had Sc
cretly asked to nolle the Rosewater case.
The court the day after emphatically cor
rected it from the bench. 1t yesterday
stated that Mr.. Connell and / agreed to
waive jury and try the case to the court
wherein his paper protested against paying
The Bees bill for advertising the scaven-
ger tax sale. Mr.. Cornell and l never
talked about a jury. As the county is
Interested to the extent of $4,000, and as l
am the county attorney, l deemed It my
duty to appear for the county, and all
/ asked of the court was that the case
might be speedily disposed of, TO save the
county the interest on $4,000 that It may
have TO pay because of the delay caused
by simply a newspaper quarrel"

WOULD TELL BUT 4 PART
People Oner to Testify Against Al
legged BIackmaiIer II Not CUES
TONED as to Scandals.

NEW YORK. July 15.-Three prominent
society people have Informed the district
attorneys ONCE that II their services are
required they will appear as compIainaHts
against Charles u. Able OF the Society Ed
itors' association, who yesterday was held
IN $500 bail to the grand jury on a charge
OF attempted blackmail, lodged by Edward
M. Post OF the New York Stock exchange.
This announcement was made by Assistant
District Attorney Paul Krotel TODAY. who
has been assigned by District Attorney
Jerome to prosecute Able on Mr. Post s
complaint. &C.,.
The allegation against Able is that he at
tempted TO coerce Post into subscribing
for book dealing with the New York
society which was to be printed and sold
to subscribers at $500 per copy. Mr.. Post
alleges that Able told him that a scandal
GUS story involving his name, which was
In the possession of a New York society
publication. would not be printed IL he
subscribed for the book. At the time of
Ahle's arrest the police found a list con-
tanning the names of many persons prom
inent socially. Opposite each name were
hgures representing sums ranging from 900
10 1900. Up to today Mr.. Post has stood
alone as complainant against Able. but
now, according to Assistant District Attor-
ney krotel, he is to be reinforced by two
women and man OF the highest social
standing who are ready to press COM
plants against the prisoner on the same
grounds taken by Post. Mr. Krotel ex-
planned, however, that these offers were
conditional. The persons were ready to
testify against Able, he said. only If guar
anteed that no questions be asked concern
Ing the scandals which they allege were
mentioned when their subscriptions were
solicited.
