on last Saturday afternoon in the in
terests of the Recall movement.
DR.. Fisher was the first speaker and
gave very much the same talk he gave
previously on the street and to much
the same audience. He explained that
the matter for discussion was the Re-
call OF Judge Burke and District at
torney Van Bradt and that the Sasse
case was minor item and yet after
taking about ten minutes to tell of a
visit of Abraham Lincoln at his fathers
who was a methodist preacher in Kan
sas and going into details in regard to
the Dred Scott Decision he spent the
major part Of his time discussing the
Sssse trial.
He laid particular stress upon the
fact that because Redmond had acted
in the capacity of Deputy DistrictAt-
torney that there fore he must have
been such regardless of wheather his
appointment had been confirmed by
the Board of County Commissioners or
not.
He claims that Jim Dobbs was a
good respectable citizen of Sterling
because he had worked around Ster-
ling for some time and because he had
never been prosecuted for any crime.
but he forgot to tell that the only rea-
tnt fnr hnOt
Logging was because that after he was
arrested on such charge he turned
over friends of his to the authorizes on
similar charges and he and Redmond
both acknowledged that Dobbs con-
fessed on the witness stand to have
lived with woman as his common
law wife in Sterling.
In telling of how Dobbs entered
Father Sasse's residence on January
5th he forgot to explain that in Dobbs
first story he told of going up the
front stairs into bedroom and thence
into a large closet and secreting him.
