Show FINALLY MAKES ADMISSION The Tribune ought never Ile to argue I Its strong hold Is to assert to del det de- de t l clare dare When it undertakes to reason t l it limps lamentably and lamentably

utter micr tia ness o of Us Its iy ri l gan san ot of the tho b bunco gaine gam l S- S admitted Its awful wrong V TT For one thing thug tho proponent of or a guilt guilty cause cause never is at ease He constantly thinks of or it He speaks of it The Tho Tribune has never never felt feU comfortably com coin about tim the Sheets case and 1 lias lia a time and again reverted re to it V defending

not not against them In Its Us Saturday article speaking o of the Sheets case the McWhirter case the Tribune says sars Chief Sheets should have arre arrested ted both McWhirter lc and Bell DeH Why That little statement gives gln s awn away t whole whale Tribune Sheets case If there Were veVe nothing in this case but a political plot IlOt from beginning to end nothing but a conspiracy then wh why should either cither of ot the there have hav been arrested 1 The Tribune sa says s 's lc and aid Bell should have na been arrested when they went to police headquarters to their settle their gambling quarrel There I is the nub o of the whole matter There Vas va a gamble gambIe game game game-a a bunco game McWhirter and Bell were in it Me- Me thought he had been robbed o of ot ten thousand dollars and aud he went with that complaint to police head quarters Bell falsely personating a police officer went with him There Bell and the rest of or the robbers agreed to give back one thousand of or the ten they had bad taken taleen and the chief of police po lice lIco handled the money getting gellIng back the thousand for the tho Scotchman and andI then let the tho victims get got out out of town I and the robbers get back int into town One was as free tree as the other The thieves s were at lI liberty ert- ert to get up another another an other same game game as soon oon as they could find fresh victims i In a week tho the frightened ene Scotch Scotch- men who had at first at-first first believed there was no disposition in an American city cUy cUyto to protect strangers and punish 4 thieves came ba back k to town and aud appealed appealed ap ap- ap pealed to the county authorities for that justice the chief of or police could have havo rendered them In the beginning And Anti because the county authorities caught the robbers robbers robbers-In In spite of ot tho the help holp given the tho robbers by the lie police d department and the Salt Lako Lake Tribune Trib Trib- une the uno-the the Tribune charges those county coun coun- t p ty officials with lighting the city with seeking to discredit the American administration administration ad ad- ministration with trying to make maIm a apolitical apolitical 4 political conspiracy masquerade as a atrue atrue atrue true cause Now how much casi easier r It would have havo vo been for the chief chIc to lock up th the whole party part when tho they came to him that day In Septem September cr 1906 with their thel rotten story of or a rotten theft Ho He could have havo round rounded d up every man o othe of the Antlers game Ho could have ba haven m I n Ho L could have O caused causel the law Jaw to ta take e its course courie He lIe could have made mado good the boast that thieves and confidence men and bunco grafters were not permitted in Salt LaJ Lake Lako o. o But nine thousand dollars to cut U up between live five thieves the tho police pollee department and the tile Tribune was too fat The opportunity for hush mone money was too good And tho the Tribune SUPpressed suppressed sup SUP- pressed tho the story And when a week weel later Inter the whole series of facts came out of tho the county attorneys attorney's s office and he tho sheriffs sheriff's office the Tribune declared de de- de- de dared it was an old case that it was all a put up job a dirt dirty raid i ou on the chief a church conspiracy for forthe I tho the un undoing of the 3 American party Jart Now it admits there thero was a game that there was an appearance of the tile parties in police hea headquarters quarters that tuat there thero was knowledge of the Incident by lIr the lie chief that the chief should ha have arrested the parties The Tribune e was stronger when it oi a avoided a ed facts and argument It Jt gives away ay Its Us case caso case when it rises to lo the realm of argument I I It certainly would have o been better betterto to do o right In iii this case casc If the chief had hud arrested tho lie parties to that edo cele celebrated bunco game game every every one ono of them and the tho chief could have c done doneIt It It lie he would Ita have n been on Oil safe ground He would have o been enforcing th the law Jaw He Ho would have ha been protecting strangers He Ho would have ha been safeguarding safeguarding safe safe- guarding the good name the Ule fair rail r repute repute re re- of oC Salt Lake He would have hav been making it clear that strangers stranger could not safely be lie robbed in this city cItro Instead of that lint he lie let e them be robbed I Instead of that he ho permitted the ro robbers rob rob- bers lIer to bring the victims in III hea tors bogus ogus stars on the bi breasts o othe of the tile robbers and there give the tho victims j one thousand of or the tile ten that had been lIeen stolen from them And then let Jet the whole party part vanish vanish the tho scared and stricken panic strangers tranger for Los Angeles An geles and the triumphant ro robbers bers to pin thousand dollar doar bills on their bosoms and boast publicly In popular restaurants of having la just trimmed a couple of oC suckers If the lie Tribune next morning had published these facts there thereas was as still time lime to catch the robbers The They were not out of or town Tho The Tribune of all the lie papers in town had the tho sto story And the Tribune the Trib ne suppressed tho the news of the biggest robbery robber that has been pue pulled off here in iii many years rears If it had told just the truth Chief Chic Sheets would havo have been compelled to catch the O'Briens an and Bell Dell and and ou d cou couldn't ha have g got out of the state THEY TIlEY COULD COULDN'T T THA I HA HAVE VE GOT OUT OF TOWN O And people would have e said Eaid that Chief Sheets made a mistake in letting letting let let- lettin tin ting th them m go the night before but that he was correcting cOllecting his error No one could have made a fight on him for that The town would have applauded him You see no one could make a fight on oil the chief when he was right No Noone Noone one properly defend him when he ho heas was as wrong And he was wrong in iii the tile case And tho the Tribune Trib une was frightfully wrong rong in defendIng defendIng defending defend defend- Ing ing him in badly advising him in lying Iring about bout a conspiracy which it knew did didn't nit exist No if as s the Tribune now admits the chief should have arrested McWhirter Mc Mc- Ic- Ic and Bell then the whole bottom bottom bot bet tom torn or of the T Tribune T case and the Sheets defense an and the pretense of a count county fight against the cI city falls fails out And the Tribune was right about it Sat Saturday That is what the tho chief should have done F Failing to do that he laid himself liable to the tho charge of collusion with the robbers and he was properly pros pros- cc Falling to do that he lie is In Inno inno no ria position to say and say and no iio one Is in position p to sa say for him that him that the charge against him il ia Is the result of conspiracy And all the tho vapid nonsense nonsense nonsense non non- sense about the tho count county authorities trying to bribe members of or the police department to betra betray the chief must be abandoned It is not at all true A right course by the Tribune in inthe inthe the place would have havo rendered unnecessary all the myriad lies that paper papel has invented In for the defense It would have e made unnecessary that glided gilded Pelton of Scotland Yard detectives detect detect- ives Ie being furnished ten thousand dollars dol doi- doi lars lam by Joseph F. F Smith to come here hero and trap George Sheets so as to dis discredit discredit dis- dis credit the hue American party part administration tion ion That was the one ono laughable thing of the whole incident the Incident the very cry worst explanation of all the many explanations ex ex- ex- ex the Tribune made And simple sum sim pIe right and honesty would ouM havo have rendered rendered ren ren- dered tiered It nee needless An And simple honesty hon bon esty osty now would be e a bettor better course for forthe forthe forthe the Tribune if that flint paper will wUl quit lying about the tite case and admit the thc truth truth that that It has destroyed the tile police pollee department b by criminally controlling It It then then Salt Lake may hope for a reform reform re To- form In that force which Salt SaIl Lal Lake e people ef very much need |
