J. W. BENNETT RELATES IN DE-
TA1L HIS RELATIONS WITH
JACK MAKSDEN SINCE THE AS-
I
8AULT. !
Tho following Is tho text of n writ-
ton plea for clemency submitted to
Judge Coke by J. W. Hennott in the
Marsdcn case:
"Tliat after tho dofendnnt was
bound over In tho sum of llvo thous-
and dollars to appear beforo tho
grand Jury, and whllo ho wns in the
County Jail at Coqulllo City, Oregon,
lie wrote mo n letter of which tho fol-
lowing Is n copy, to-wlt:
'Mr. J. W. Honnett Joo I wish you
would please como ovor to Coqulllo
1 would llko to sco you horo to have
a tnlk with you about this foolish
trouble on my part which wo can talk
together bettor than wrlto hoping you
will come over & obllgo John Mars-
,.. i
"
In roply to this lottor I wroto him
a lottor, uatcu .iniy in, i:ui, oi
which tho following Is n copy, to-
wit:
'My Donr John: I Just returned
to the olllco nnd found your letter nnd
will surely como ovor to goo you.
Suro I'll como over now thnt you want
to sco mo nnd tnlk tho mnttor ovor.

thoro Is n very strong fooling be ney for tho defendant does not deem Clement Pint nt tho corner of Broad-

tho papors on record, seven or eight
of It wis for monoy loaned to him In
business nnd llvo tbousnnd wns
loaned to him recently to pay off
linns Clemmgnsen. Well, ns yon
want to seo mo, I will come nnd I
liopo you will let mo bring your fnth-
or with mo and with kind regnrds I
am, Sincerely Yours, J. W. Bonnott.',
Mr. J. W. Bennett, Denr Friend:
I recolved your kind nnd welcome
lottor and wns glad to hear from you
and thnt you will, como ovor. I will
wrlto to fnthor today nnd tell him
what you said In rognrds to you and
lilm coming over together so ho will
see you and como over together..
Hoping you don't meet n crazy mnn
when you como, I remnln, Itesp. your
friend, Jack Mnrsden.'
Shortly after receiving this lettor
I went to Coqulllo City accompanied
by his father, Robert Mnrsden, Sr.,
nnd his brother, Robert Mnrsden. Ir,.
wnd there wo talked the matter over
and In view of tho correspondence
nnd whnt wns said at that tlnw I
hnvo fully nnd completely forgiven
tho dofendnnt for the nets complain
ed of In the ludlctmont.
His friendly letters to mo nnd tho
conversation we had, hnvo removed
from mo any feeling of nnlmos'lty to
ward lit nt whatsoever.
I told the dofendnnt nt that time,
that what ho had written nnd hnd
Bald to me, had entirely removed any
fooling of animosity and thnt whin,
tho same testimony would be given nt
mo trial as wns given before the mag
v Istrnto at the preliminary hearing,
whon ho wns bound over, that I was
snt'slled that the grand Jury would
Indict him nnd nltho I did not know
whnt his defense would be, I thought
ho should bo prepared to make what
ever defense ho hnd boforo tho trial
Jury, nnd that I felt ho would bo con
victed. I also told him thnt whllo my testl
auony would be the samo as given at
ole.

the preliminary henring thnt In view .
of tho friendly feeling which had
been ongondered In mo by reason of
his letters and the conversations I
would do what I could to have sen
tence postponed, or hu bo permitted
.0 remain at large- on parole.
Then on July 27th I wrote him u
letter of which the following Is n
copy, to-wlt:
'My Dear John: Mr. Llljcqvlst did

already presented before tho mugls-
Irate nnd thnt Is in writing nnd what-
ever defense you have to mnko you
'will bo afforded an opportunity to

proved of It I am satisfied that tho
District Attorney would nllow you to

'I have talked It over with your

Shortly nfter this letter should
have been received, ho was admitted
to ball and camo to tho city of Marsh
Held, where I reside, called me to the
nboiie nnd said ho would llko to tnlk
with me nnd I nsked hint to como to

closed the door and he nnd I had 'in

asserts to me thnt his mind wns a

I would further respectfully repre

respectfully say to your honor In

thnt there is not within me the slight
