Card from Mr.. A. S. Ballentine.

| would like for my friends and
the public generally to know that in
signing petition to call an election
on the liquor question. L was under
the impression that the question was
prohibition. diSpenSary or saloons.
If | had not thought that prohibition
was to enter into the fight, the pc
tition would not have received my
signature. l acted rather hastily in
the matter, and when the call was
made TO those who had signed under
a misapprehension TO take their
names off the paper, l was out of the
city and knew nothing of the matter
until too late TO act.

to bring in verdict of not guilty
johnson was the president of the
Fidelity Savings Association. which
tailed last summer He was being
tried ON the charge of embezzlement.
The prosecution had completed the
Introduction of it's evidence when the
Judge ordered the above verdict
In making this order he said 81
might ask you to convict this man ON
a charge of mismanaging the Concor-
lila, one of the companies of the FL
deity. but that is not on trial.
might also say that he ought not to
have borrowed $1,000 from the FL
ielity. but that is not on trial, neith-
er is the fact that he tried to domi-
nate the Fidelity company on trial.
The prosecution had no case on the
larceny charge and 1t then decided
10 prove that johnson was an en-
bezzler because of this transaction.
The case is like this: In 1901
Johnson sent f. ID. c. Hayes to Cal
ifornia to collect a Fidelity debt of
So, 500. Part of the money was then
paid to c. Il. Lewis, to whom John
son owed a personal debt. This FL
delity money that he used he gave
his check for. He also secured 1t
with the Fidelity stock that he
owned. 1t was not embezzlement,
but an ordinary business transaction.
All OF the evidence shows this. While
cannot approve of certain things
the Fidelity did there is no case here
and under the law my course is
plain"
While lamenting the fact that
thousands of poor persons had been
made penniless by this failure, Judge
Johnson said the worst that had been
proved was mismanagement, which
was not on trial The prosecution
asked that the jury be polled. This
was done. the court was sustained
and the first Fidelity case ended in
sad "fzzle" without the defense
being called.
