LETTERS TROM THE

' : - A Card From Jar. Sana. '
Portlsnd, March It jr-TO-lh Kdllor of .
Inst, there appeared In The JoTnnsl aii
account of th verdict of the Jury in -the
case of myself against John Mruch
ler and I. II. Gove, wherein I brought
suit to rscover on a 1100 note for money
loaned. From the general expression
of ths article th public would -natur-
myelf, to which I wish to sy the ver
diet wss certainly a very extraordinary,
one. It was rendered In favor of Mr.
dove without law or evidence. Mr. Gove.
In his own evidence, did- not testify thst
I had ever naked him to sign the note,
that he had ever objected to signing It
in my presence or that he had ever
aaked me to. pay the money over to" him.
It was simply, a trsnsactlon where one
man borrowed the money and asked, as
an accommodation, Mr. Oove to sign -with
him. It Is not customary when one
borrows and gives a personal Indorse
ment that the money be paid over to the
tndorser'and for tnarTea-orr the money
waa paid to Mr. Bruchler without any
knowledge or indication that. It should -be
paid to Mr, Gove.
The 'reason I did not testify Is be
cause I want to live. There was no
evidence given on the part f the d-
fense that required my- testimony, "end
having suffered for several -daye wltlv
a alight attack of heart failure, did noty
wish to engage In anything that would
agitata '- - ..
It la to be regretted that the Jury, in .
Its great wisdom, should see fit to 'ren
der such a verdict upon the' facts and
evidence given. It will certainly leave
a remarkable precedent tn the matter ot
collecting notee in th future. Under
suoh conditions it will be unsafe to loan
money on a promissory note without
absolute and direct evidence "to prove"
the signatures and every .Incident con-neclad-wlth-ths-Trihssctjon,
otherwise
any debtor can, by a little perjury, savej
himself from meeting his just ana truin
ful obligations, j . j
