theft of Al cents. So far as can be
ascertained the facts brought out at
the hearing were substantially as
stated in this paper. Mr.. Hopkins
however, has sent the following letter;
Editor Recommendation the benefit OF
nv friends who may be readers OF your
valued paper | wish to say that the state
ments made in your last issue regarding
The bov who lives with me, while attend
ing school is wholly inconsistent with
facts -.
just what these facts are / do not care
to make any more public than they now
are. for the boy wishes me to try nm
again and has promised that nothing OF
the kind shall occur again.
Carl S Hopkins.
Under ordinary circumstances the
Reformer does not take the trouble to
correct items unless it can be shown
that a mistake has been made and
what that mistake is. In this ease, as
the facts shown at the hearing were
not such as to testify to Mr.. Hopkins s
good Judgment and forbearance, his
denial of the truth of these facts is
given equal publicity. 1t will occur
to everyone, however, that this denial
would have been much more effective
if the real facts were given.
