S. Barton, who has ap pealed to the Supreme Court,” etc. Now, just to keep the record straight, the Herald wishes to state that the correspondent had his dates mixed, and that fact is of more importance than appears on the surface, as we will explain. The brief was printed in this office. The copy was nearly all nanded in on April 10 by Mr. Lilje qvist, who requested that the brief printed as quickly as possible, as he had just received notice from the Supreme Court that the case had been set for a much earlier date than had been agreed on by him and the attorneys of the appellant. Two extra hands were therefore put at work on Saturday morning to rush it through, and on that day Mr. Liljeqvist handed in all the rest of the copy except one small page to finish up, which he handed in Sunday. Two of us worked all day Sunday on the job, and the completed brief was delivered on Tuesday, and was mailed to the Supreme Court on that day. These facts are important, because on Sun day morning Mr. Liljeqvist received a letter from the state capital stating that a communica tion had been received from certain parties, saying, in effect, that Mr. Liljeqvist was asleep on the job and asking the governor to stir him up. There is little doubt that the authors of that letter will claim credit for themselves on the ground that the prosecuting attorney would have done nothing it they had not appealed to the governor, and, in justice to Mr. Liljeqvist, the Herald wishes the facts above set forth to be clearly understood. Those acquainted with the history of this, case will remember that one of the first developments was an attempt to convict a man by petition, and that this attempt was led by a couple of clerical gentleman who have since departed from the city which they then held up to inspection as a hotbed of all kinds of unmentionable crime; also that the cowards did not have the nerve to mention the name of the man in their petition, but did use the name of the girl involved, who had no male protector; further that the Herald called them down and lost several subscribers by the opera tion. It seems that the same class of uninform ed noteriety-seekers are still on the job; that they blame the prosecuting attorney for not jacking up the Supreme Court to set the Barton case early enough to suit them, and that they have appealed to the Omnipotent Oswald to ex pedite matters. The Herald wishes the public to clearly understand that their action has not hurried matters by a single minute; and that any claims of that nature that may be made are false. And this is all written without any sug gestion from Mr. Liljeqvist or any knowledge on his part that anything is to be said in the Her ald, and the first he will know of it will be af ter the paper is out.
