In calling the News to account for

words in reference to the recent con
viction:

That statement was published by
the Telegram on Monday. The next
day the News uses these words IN
reply:

It will be observed the Telegram
stated it had recently convicted the
News of glaring falsehoods. 1t will
further be observed the Telegram did
not cite the case. The News itself
does mention a case. however. and

It will be observed that the Tele-
gram has not made any insinuation
against the News. Nor has it made
any declaration that 1t has not proved
to the perfect satisfaction of the
public. The Telegram has INDUCED
itself in only plain facts. while the
News IN its wrangling has shot on
wildly and without regard to actual
facts or the truth. The truth is
what hurts 1t. That is why It puts
up such pIaintive plea for mercy.
