The Reformer did not say that the
door of the Jail had not been locked

who said that. and in reporting the

ment to Carlson and put quotation
marks around his statement. sheriff

Carlson make the statement il open

Carlson 5 counsel stated also iii open

credited to Judge Gibson The Reform.
er made no such charge. If there was
any dig at anybody connected with
the Jail it was made by Judge Gibson
and Carlson and not by The Reformer
which has no recollection Of making
any =" dig at Deputy Sheriff Davis
further than to state the facts This
1 being the ease, the statements in Mr.
Davis 5 letter appear to lose theil
/ force.
