The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1915-08-05

we are wondering IL the fight was to
have been against some one else than
Judge Burke if he would have been
SO self sacraficing.
He took great exception to Judge
Burk's saying that 1T seems to me
that if ever verdict of "a jury was
the result of passion and prejudice
this vedict must be" and while this
was not addressed to the jury person.
ally we would like to know what did
change the jury for Mr.. Fisher him
self explained that the first ballot the
jury stood to 5 for conviction on the
End. and 3rd ballots s to 4, that they
were out from 5 in the after noon till
10 the next morning
He again referred to the action of
Judge Burke in the Merrill case and
the Bank murder case at Haxtun and
says he might multiply these offenseS
but he does not do SO and WE suggest
the next time he speaks in Julesburg
that he bring out some new offenses
and does not harp on the old ones
they are getting thread bare
He insists that they have ample rea-
sons for recall of Judge Burke and
District Attorney Van Bradt but alb
solutelA fails to give any of them. He
closed his remarks by calling the au-
dience attention that they could sign
the recall petition at Bruce Camp
bells store. Mr.. Fisher closed and
the audience were waiting so ANXIOUS
ly to hear Mr.. Redmond that they alb
solutely forgot to applaud the first
speaker.
Mr. Redmond first made several cor
rections of what Mr. Fisher had stated
as facts, we suppose this was done so
that the people would take with out
any question what he said.
Then he told US that he.was gong to
tell us why he had entered this fight
but so - we are wondering why. He
says he has not heard the other SHE
but understand they have said certain
things, that some time last week he
understands they said certain things
at Mereno and that on Sunday morn
ing he had been informed what the
other side had been saying and if
Judge Burke had been iudulging in
personalities he thought he aught not
do so.
He stated that he had only the kind
est feeling for Judge Burke and At
torney Van Bradt and we suppose this
is the reason why he came here to an
swer what they We're supposed to have
said at Mereno He went into some
detail as to the filing of the informa-
ton against Father Sasse and acknow-
legged that District Attorney Van Bradt
wrote him that the story mad the ear
marks of persecution ond not prose-
cution'
His excuse for Dobbs was that he
had lived in Logan County for over
wear but he had not known any thing
about him until after he had been do
ing uetetLlNe NDIh LVl tHS wy anu
County a month.
DR.. Fisher explained that Redmond
was a Catholic ana did not appove of
the way Father Sasse handled finan-
tial affairs Of the Parish but he failed
to tell that he was so bitter that he
had twice been to the Bishop to get
Father Sasse removed but he claims
that the only reason he prosecuted the
case was for the public good but
with emphasis he says.
The verdict has been recorded for
all time and that verdict is G-u-l-i.-
T-Y guilty, and he then closes by
again saying that. he has not heard the
statement made by the other side, put
is answering what he has heard that
the other side has said and it is up to
the people to invesgate.
