stronger than any yet offered, in

CHRIS VI. PATTERSON NAILS
LIE SPREAD By OPPONENTS

Since he entered the race for
sheriff. an unusual number of
malicious falsehoods concerning
Chris w Patterson of Belling-
ham have been whispered around
by the wet interests of the
county. Patterson's record has
been Investigated by temperance
workers of Bellingham and by
prominent ministers and officials
there, and he is being given their
support.
In the following letter to The
Tribune, Patterson wishes to nail
one of the lies spread about him:
TO THE PUBLIC
Having been reliab bly, informed
that a story is being circulated
by certain men to the effect that
/ am responsible for the tea dis
covered in the bottle of whiskey
used as evidence in the Barlow
case, tried in the courts OF this
country. sometime since, | wish
to make the following statement:
First of all, / know nothing
whatever of how the change was
made After the bottle had been
delivered to Sheriff Wallace, |
with others was present, Wal
lace pulled the cork, and sampled
the bottle, declaring the contents
10 be whiskey and placed the
same in the vault used to store
such evidence in.
At no time while connected
with the sheriff's office, was !
in possession of the combination
of the vault, nor do l know it
to this day.
The bottle in question, was
delivered to Wallace in the pa
per wrapping in which the said
bottle was taken from the man,
who is said to have secured 1t
from Barlow.
After Wallace placed the bottle
in the vault, / never saw it again
until il was produced at the trial.
l make the above statement with
out fear of contradiction, and
for the sake of clean politics.
Yours very respectfully,
CHRIS. W. PATTERSON.
Candidate for Sheriff.
