ed A. M. Brown on a far less formidable
Indictment will also defeat the mar,
whom Brown and his fiylng.wedge of y
sixty-fve ex-police delegates compelled \
the convention, very much against it's
will, to accept.
This morning the Advertiser pre-
sents the case of Goo Wan Hoy, client
whom Cathcart betrayed and robbed.
This story will be followed by Others
of a similar tenor. We mean 20 prove
to the satisfaction of the honest voter
that the denomination Of Catlicart was
an affront to common honesty and one
which calls for party rebuke that will
serve as lesson and a warning, for
years to come, to the men who make mp
Republican states for the electors of
this County or this Territory to pass
upon
4. That the words and matters andS
things so published and caused to be
published by the said defendants as

particularly those words and matters
and things wherein plaintiff is charged
with -appropriating or embezzling
the money of client, and wherein
plaintiff is charged with having be-
trayed and robbed one Goo Wan Hoy,
an alleged client of plaintiffs, are in
each and every particular absolutely
false.

Cathcarss to Speak.
The Republican Executive Committee
of the Central Committee, in furthef-
ance of demand upon John w. Cath4
| cart for an answer to the Advertiser 81
charges, has arranged for meeting at
the orpheum Friday evening at which
Mr.. Cathcart win speak.
Hasn't Read Charges.
Mr.. Cathcart made the astonishing.
statement on Monday morning to one of
| his organs that he had not read the
charges in the Sunday Advertiser We
quote:
81 have not yet read the Sunday
Advertiser, but am informed that Goo
Wan Hoy makes charge that in 1899
embezzled a 500 judgment that had
obtained for him. said John w. Cath
cart this morning. "This is false. Any
sane person knows that if 1 had en-
bezzled 800 in 1899 from Goo Wan Hoy
some mention would have been made of
it before now. 1t certainly would have
appeared in the action that Humphreys
brought for him.
GAS to the statements of Colburn,
if there was any truth in them, Mr.
Kinney would certainly have taken
some action at the time, either by
bringing the matter before my superior,
the Attorney General, or before the
Bar Association. Kinney would, in all
probability, have used this in my cons
test of two years ago, as he was them
chairman of the Democratic Committee.
The alleged blackmail is transparent
lie. The public will notice that all of
the Advertisers charges are years old.
} If had been guilty of them, is it pos
sible that they would not have been
/. brought to light long before nowi
"The public knows Colburn, Goo
} Wan Hoy, ct al, and it is now appar-
ent to what depths of baseness Walter
G.. Smith will sink to crafty his per-
sonal malice and hatred. The truth of
! these charges will have to be establish
: ed in court
"Cathcart stated further that it was
