ABOUT SHEETS Case
Had Hot MiX-Up With Sheriff
Emery Over the
Matter.
SENDS SOME BODY
BLOWS TO THE OFFICER
Punctures Nice Story Which
Had Been Built Up to
Catch Voters.

Notwithstanding the fact that
you We been aviolatin my confidence
in a shameful manner lately said the
Wise Guy, "I1l take one more chance
on You. You We tbrowed me many a
rope when | was a.sinlin for the third
an last time, an no man shall ever
say that WiSey Is ongrateful.
Me an ole Emery has had a hot
mlX-up over the Sheets case, the healn
an handlin o which he intends to
take charge of in spite o me an Will
lard an Farley an SmoSt an Penrose
an the rest of our push, Here's the
way the play comes up: Me an Will
lard was in close consultation on II
proposition lookin' to the negotiation
of q loan of 2-bits, which | needed to
tide me over till Tuesday. when [
knowed / could touch you, when in
walks Emery; He was a-moppin his
brow an he looked bedraggled Now,
then says he, here 5 tho programme
IN that Sheets matter. You needn t
spring no programme on ne, Clipped

in myself with these delegates down
TO the Salt Palace. Frame up your
Sheets dope with Wisey ! m in with
anything he II stand for So sayin
Willard took one final look at himself
in the hand glass which he always car.
ries IN his inside pocket, an ducked
out o the room, 1eayin mc an ole
Emery a-facin each other.
What He Handed Out.
g Shoot yer dye stuff, says |, an
here's what he started in 10 hand me:
IN the first place, says he, we don It
want to let go o that talk % ourn
about Sheets beIn' hand in glove with
the gamblers. They's a good many
voters as don't know any better an
it'll get most of en- 1T won t get
blamed fool lie that the kids on the
streets is on to it. Where. says 7, Fare
the gamblers that Sheets is protectin ?
You II hnd 'em in some camps an wide
open towns a.dancin in glee in the
hopes that Sheets is in real trouble.
Why don't you go out an find the
gamblers who are a-vlolatin the law
PIE, if you want TO make EN- believe
that bloomin rota You know, and
know, that you can't find EN- Why'
Simply cause they ain Z in town. 1t
would skin your scheme whole block
II you d import a carload or two %
sure-thingers from the outside towns
where they hiked off TO when them
on TO yourself, Emery says I; 'you re
sure In your dotage, an / might as well
tell you right now that You we got the
whole town laffn at US by the way
you re framin' up this case against the
Chief We II never land HIM on your
tactics, nor, IN my opinion, on anv
other, cause the town is on to us and
the people ain t a-goin TO stand for
that kind o bum politics.
AS to Postponement Scheme.
Don t you think my postponement
scheme is Il good onel' saws he: What
is your postponement scheme?' saws |.
w hn tof ,-s,
had the case originally set for the
18th, which was as far off as the law
would stand for, an when it is called
We'll have it showed ahead few more
holes-Just as far you NAV wager your
right eye, as the court Will stand for.
AT each call of the case we III hist il
INTO the future again, the purpose
FIRE before the public till after cleo
lion. Then we'll drop it an introduce
that outward expression of inward
mirth which is technically termed the
horse laff. Do you follow me''
DOM follow no sich insanity
dope as that, says l. cause it ain t
practical. You don Il for minute. sup
pose that them Americans is. asleep,
do youe an you amt a-fggerin that
they are goin' to. let us run this thing
all by ourselves, are YOU! If you are.
You re clearly entitled to another sup
pose, an one more hgger. The Sheets
crowd know, AS well as We do, that il
was piece o. coarse work to stave off
this preliminary hearing to the last
possible minute, an it S cinch their
lawyers will have roar to make
when they do finally get into court
An 1t S another cinch that that. roar
ain t a-goin TO be in the natur "of a
boost to our desperate scheme Nope,
You re off agin. Emery, you re off agin,
AS usual
4" Leastways, says he, you. won't
oppose my ,r;'a scheme %, gettn test. test
this says he. Il thought it out all
by myself. l m a-fggerin on gettin
that fellow Bell to testify that Sheets
entered into an agreement with him to
get him out o town after the great hs,
ha, ha robbery was committed. What
do you think of it,
Needs to Have Head Fixed
H'T1l tell you what ! think Of it,
says I, Il think you ought TO go to one
% them alienists, or whatever you call
'cm, an get your nut fixed. If you
kuowed enough to point north, You d
probably be aware that there S a
bloomin Iot o. difference between testi
mory an evidence. You can go ahead
an buy all the testimony you are able
10 corral, but YOU ain t a-goin' TO
round up hair s weight of evidence
TO support that pipe dream % yourn.
What good is your dug-up testimony
goin' TO do us, man7 The enemy has
got the evidence Put 'em down in
your book an go look 'em up; t-e-s.t-i-
m-o-nty, evidence. Go find out
what you think YOU re tallsin' about
In all your uphill frame.up Of this
scheme to job the American Chief o
Police you haven Z furnished an idoa
above the caliber OF a linnet. You make
me sick
