The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1915-07-22
JCLESBChs AGAINST THE RE.
CALL.

Julesburg that night. and Immediately
there was movement to hold a meet
ing in the Court House. For all the
time was limited to get notice to all,
there was a large crowd gathered to
hear these officials side of the story,
and by the continual cheering it left
no doubt in anyone's mind how they
felt about the recall. District Attor-
ney Van Bradt told OF his doings in
the Sasse case, and how the evi-
dence on the stand had been padded
and fixed up different from the first
story that was told him by Dobbs, who
was the star witness for Redmond. He
left no doubt in his hearers mind as
to whether he did right or not in re-
fusing to prosecute the case in the
first place, and to finally refuse to
prosecute the case when the
Judge had ruled that he would
grant a new trial. Attorneys
neys thurman and Cochin both spoke
as to the sentiment in regard to the
case in Sterling. and Judge Burke
then told his audience just what did
happen when the jury brought in the
verdict, and to give our readers a
fair and impartial idea of what did
happen and how vilely the jury was
treated, as the other side has pict-
ured. We are printing herewith true

unless there is some reason that is
known to the District Attorney that

science l never saw a case tried in
