Show Tiik Uki'uhmcan's attention Is called to the fact that In the democratic demo-cratic organ's account of tho trial of the gamblers convicted icccntly it was made to appear that Attorney Sneddon hired assistance, and that said assistance handled the case, which was complicated -the Inference being that, the C'ty Attorney was unequal un-equal to the emergency, etc. Whether all this was with deliberate intent is a matter of opinion", but It Is' certain that the facts do not warrant such a view, and that Attorney Sneddon has been done an injustice. Tho City Attorney did not hire the assistance In the case, this being done by the Mayor and President of the council. Neither did tho "assistance" in this case examine witnesses Petersen and King as stated. The fact or the matter mat-ter is that little uicdlt Is duo either Mr Sneddon or the "assistance" In this case, for any laymen ought to have been able to convict the defendants defend-ants upon Riley's turning "state's evidence." The democratic oigan thought to score one against tho City Attorney and republicanism, of course, and stretched things a little to make Its point. i j Some of tho kid gloved Crongress-1 (men at Washington are working to' have tho rree garden seed pioposltlon ! stricken from the list of appiopila- , tlons, but they will likely fall.
