public sentiment press bureau ap-
pears to nave been established for the
purpose of flooding the interior with
the arguments being made in the vari-
Gus courts by the attorneys for the de-
fense.
For some time the attorneys of this
city have been receiving copies of all
papers filed oy the defense in their at
tacks upon the indictments against the
grafters in San Francisco. These copies
are all printed in the form of briefs
and mailed in large envelopes without
folding
Several of the local attorneys who
have received a generous supply of lit
erature on the defense of grafters
would like to know who is footing the
bills and the purpose of such liberality
on the expediture of coin. If attorneys
elsewhere are. being supplied as liber-
ally with the briefs as they are in this
city the defense must have a large fund
from which TO draw TO pay the expense
OF printing. postage and mailing.
One prominent attorney today said:
I have been receiving this literature
ever since the prosecution began. The
writing is not that of any one | know,
so IT cannot be sect me from personal
motive. TIE briefs I have received are
all from the defense and so must come
from their press bureau. Judging from
what I have received, the expense of
such a campaign must be exceedingly
heavy, and for the life of me l cannot
see what is to be attained. OF course
Of the defense, but there are very few
lawyers who are to be caught by an
