Anderson collected road taxes - & "saved" enough to get started - a mine suddenly disclosed a paystreak & now he cant hate Barnette enough. I am told that he is to appear at the Thanksgiving Ball tonight in a dress suit - it is the talk of the town!! A beggar on horse back! A blackguard & blackmailer! It seems that Barnette was found guilty of larceny as bailee - sentenced to 4 years & served 18 mos. and was then pardoned by Gov. Pennoyer. McGinns brother prosecuted the case & Senator Gearin defended. W. H. Adams, lawyer, tried to make Barnette secure his reelection as city atty. a year ago - by threats of exposing him - but B- could not succeed
