The fact is the bond was entered into in-to with no Idea of helping Watrous out. It was to discommodo Crockett if they could. While tho linotype machine wns in possession of these bondsmen a rental of forty dollars n month was piling up against them, besides damages dam-ages to Crockett for being out of tho use of the machine and his investment therein, amounting to about thirty-five hundred dollars. Again, the machine was not absolutely necessary to tho publication pub-lication of The Sun. L. 0. Hoffmann was tho attorney for tho bunch, including Watrous, who never had shown any interest with those who got behind him. The Sun appreciates the position of Attorney Hoffmann Hoff-mann in the matter all through. He was fair and honorable. However, tho intentions of the others was entirely different. It was anything to annoy The Sun and Its management. |
