I accordingly mailed notices to the members of the club stating that the question of voting bonds for the erection of city docks and pur chasing the ferry, among other things, would be considered nt the next meeting and urged a large attendance. At the next meeting, the question was brought tip by oueot the members of the club, and it was the opinion of all mem bers picscut that tlie city should own the boat and that it should be oiwrated free to the public, where- ( iiihiii, by resolution, I was instruct ed to draft a iK'titinu to the city council, icqucstiiig it to solicit a price ftom the owners ol the boat, and if satisfactory, to submit the proposition to the electors of the city iu the April election. I draft- ed the iKititiou according toinstruc lions, and was apixiiiited by the Chair to act as one of the commit tee 111 circulating it for .signatures, which I declined, stating that 1 was attorney for the St. Johns transportation company, and did not desire to take any ttart tu it, as some one would be sure to say that I was looking after the interest of the Transportation company. I nave never asked a single person tu St. Johns to vote for tlie pur- base of the bout, or iu any way advocated the purchase of it by the city, directly or indirectly, and I am informed and believe that not one ot tue directors or stockholders of the St. Johns Transportation company ever have. When the first article came out iu the Journal, I called at the office of Geo. M. Tiowbridge, city editor, and told htm in justice to my client I thought he ought to get the facts and modify his statement. lie asked me how much the owners actually juid for the boat. I told him 1 did not know, but knew they had considerable money invested iu it, nud considering the work done on it by Peterson Urothers & Smith personally, I did not think they would realize very much on their investment should they sell tt to the city at the price qttot ed 18,097.75.

Or, on the other hand. would a matt pay for first to ins oiuce. l told Htm I was busy and if he wanted to see me he would have to come to my oflice. He then stated that he understood the St. Johus Trutispor tation company was trying to sell the ferry boat, which his clients participated iu building: that the uewspatKrs had some damaging in formation and could block the sale to the city, but if we would pay him $603, 15, which is the amount of n fictitious claim for extras Hirstel claims to have furnished the boat, these reports would be 1 suppressed, otherwise they would reach the public and the sale would surely be blocked. I informed him that tlie St. Johns Transportation company was making no effort to sell the boat to the city and there was no reason why we should be blackmailed into payiug him any thingto give the Journal all the leprosy dojie that his mind could originate. He remarked; "Then take the coiiscquencts." I submitted the Journal the fol lowing statement in reply to their first article: "George M. Trowbridce.
