1--WE, the undersigned petitioners, in the
case recently before the supreme court,
against Attorney General G. c. Fits, IN
view of the report made by the commis-
sion appointed to hear said case, hereby
desire to retract our belief in the charges
OF unprofessional conduct, as set forth IN
said Letition. and we most sincerely con-
graduate Mr.. Fits upon his exoneration
from said charges and his commentator
by the court. Since much comment has
been made by the public press as 10 the
reasons for signing said petition, we wish
To say that we believed the defendant IN
the case of Bartlett vs.. Prescott had been
sadly wronged in the final result OF SAN
case. aud for which the counsel who man
aged the defense was largely responsible.
This belief was formed from information
received, and from an examination oil the
court records by some of us. That we
we're misled appears from the hnding OF
the commission. We wish to emphatical-
iv deny any revengeiul or malicious mo-
tive and to state that we believe Mr.. Fits
