“SPECIAL” appearing in the Coos Bay
Times dated “Coquille, April 14,” says:
“District Attorney Liljeqvist is at work on the
brief in the case of J. 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.
