glasmann azmann was in al aska now york or portland oregon they all charged him with having written and published the matter objected to not satisfied with civil suits george halverson swore out two criminal complaints against mr glasmann for writing something mr glasmann never saw until arrested mr glasmann took all this good natu and awaited his time it took almost a year and a halt half to get a trial on the crini criminal lual libel charges and when tho the cases were heard mr glasmann did not even offer one word of evidence in his defense so flimsy wore were the cases that both were dismissed after mr halverson had offered all his ills proof now mr glasmann brings suit for damages for malicious prosecution against halverson it is indeed a long lane line that has no turn when seen by a reporter mr glasmann said 1 I thought my turn would come after awhile 1 I am convinced in fact have an abundance of proof that mr halverson acted maliciously in his prosecution of me not one man can be produced that will say I 1 have abused mr halverson Halve raon while I 1 will furnish ample proof that mr halverson curses me on the streets in pul public and jin private but always behind behan my back that he calls me all the names that only a vile and malicious tongue can command he accuses others with being malicious I 1 will show that he Is one of tho the most malicious of persons

with the leading lawyers of the state and they havo assured me that tho the fact th that EL t I 1 was no longer the editor of the standard and therefore not responsible tor for the news or editorials has been shown in court and published in the papers so often that there could have been no excuse fior for mr halverson bringing his suits against me without any evidence or proof whatever the fact that I 1 am or am not a stockholder in the standard publishing company Is im am material if halverson had bad any other thought than to injure me in filing his suits then he would have brought suit against the standard publishing company the owner of the standard and examiner who under the law la is responsible but that did not suit hal versions ver sons purpose he lie sought to humiliate me by having me nr arrested rested I 1 have filed ohp suit against him bei cause I 1 believe bo filed his suits pur to injure me and that they did lid injure me which fact I 1 will show in court hero Is the
