TO THE PEOPLE OF tf ? f McHENRY COUNTY TWfcr to greatly hWor y«i in the capacity of Judge of your County Court, w hieh position' I consider is the most important of any in the entire coanty and while I have lfrtf*many intri cate and important eases b?fore me, in every case and in everything that has come before me as your Judge, I have discharged Bay oAeial duties without fear or favor, and to the very best of my ability ami judgment. The recent returning of an indictment against former State's Attorney V incent S. Lumley and myself by a grand jury of this OOVnty, in which we are charged with a conspiracy to have perjury committed in behalf ef the state, on the trial of one of over thirty indictments that were retained against Fremont Hoy and Clarence Hoy, over their bank failures at Ringwood and McHcnry, might cause some of you to feel that pextiaps your cosfioMMe hs me had been misplaced by the voters so electing me twice to the important 0®ce of Judge of your County Court, and if there are any of you that feel that way, I only ask that you withhold judgment on the matter till the true facts can be brought out on the trial of the indictment mentioned. The particular criminal case in which it is charged we conspired to have perjury committed in behalf of the prosecuton, was the case of The People of the State of Illinois vs Fremont Hoy and Clarence Hoy, in which they were both charged with securing from Truman Adelbert Abbott, now ef the V illage of Ringwood, $20,000.00 in notes secured by a trust deed on the Abbott farm, by the use and by means of a confidence game. On the trial of that case in our Circuit Court before Judge Shurtleff and a jury, the Hoyp were defended by Attorneys William L. Pierce and James M Huff of Belvidere, and Attorney F. B. Bennett of this city, all vary competent attorneys, and after a trial was had, the jury returned a verdict of guilty against both of the Hoys, thus finding them guilty of using and operating confidence game on Abbott in so securing his notes and trust deed. A motion for a new trial was entered by the attorneys for the Hoy*, but apparently , some arrangement or understanding was entered into, as later the Hoy's mo- County Court of McHenry County for j tion for a new trial was withdrawn and thereupon Judge Shurtleff sentenced an assessment of the cost of said imboth the Hoys to the penitentiary in accordance With the verdict of guilty so provement according to the benefits and assessments therefor having been made and returned to said court, which assessment is divided into ten (10) annual installments bearing interest at the rate of six (6) per cent per annum; the final hearing thereon will be held on the 27th day of July, A. D. 1925, at the hour of 10 o'clock A. M. or as soon rendered bv the jury, and about the same time Judge Shnrtlaff also sentenced Fremont Hoy to the penitentiary on another case in which a jury had also rendered a verdict of guilty against Fremont Hoy, and the two sentences against Fremont Hoy were ordered by Judge Shurtleff to run concurrently Later about thirty other indictments against Fremont and Clarence Hoy, with some against Joe Holly were all stricken off from the Circuit Court docket i>y Judge Shurtleff, With the returning of the conspiracy indictment against Mr. Lumley Kind myself, we thought that our Circuit Court and the State's Attorney of thiscounty would be more than willing to give us an early trial so that the people of this county would soon know whether their former State's Attorney and - * V Quality Grocers Cdtf/Green and Elm Sts., McHenry, 111. •I'"*-! , y_*V.

COOLEY. Person appointed by the president of the Board of Local Improvements of the City of McHenry, Illinois, to spread said assessment. Wt * Plaindealer ads bring McHenry, m. Phone 167 -We carry a I ne of- SPECIAL F e LOWS f. ains ine. chick shells, midd accordingly. Mills David R. Joslyn, Sr., and Charles T. Allen, as our attorneys, earnestly asked and even demanded of our Circuit Court (Judge Earl D. Reynolds of Rockfor.l, presiding), that Mr. Lumley and myself be given an immediate trial, but o our surprise our present State's Attorney announced to the court that he mu t have further time to prepare the case for trial, and thereupon our Cirru t Court, against our earnestjprotest, postponed oar trial until ine day following Labor Day, which will be Tuesday, the 8th day ef September. If I could have had a prompt trial on the indictment mabtloned, I would not have issued any statement to the people of this county at this time, but since the caae has been postponed until September and as long as I am a servant of the people of this county and holding bv their grace, the official position of County Judge, many of my friends insist that I should at this time issue a statement to the people of this county It must be fresh in the minds of every reader of this article that less than one year ago, a malicious and unjustifiable attempt was made in the dark to bring about the disbarment of Mr. Lumley and myself, and if the been successful, it would have precluded us from ever again practicing law and also prevented us from ever earning another penny for our families or ourselves oy the practice of our chosen profession. I wish every reader of this article could fully realise what it would have meant to Mr. Lumley and myself if the venomous attempt to disbar us from ever again practicing law had succeeded. The result can only be imagined by every reader of this article stopping to think what it would mean to be prevented from ever again resuming their present work, vocation or profession. - I well knew the source from which the disbarment proceedings emanated and it was then and still is, a wonder to me how two persons that have each held high offices in the gift of the people, could stoop so low as to try through a false report made to our Circuit Court by Attorney R. K. Welsh of Rockford, to unjustly seek the disbarment of both Mr, Lumley and myself and thus totally cut off forever our only means of supporting ourselves and our families. The committee of five eminent lawyers that were called upon to consider the charges so made against Mr. Lumley and myself (called the Grievance Committee of the State Bar Association), of which Circuit Judge Arthur W. DeSelm of Kankakee was chairman, after considering the answers filed by Mr Lumley and myself, dismissed the false charges so made against our professional conduct without a hearing and without our having to present even one witness in our defense, and as we both think, the charges were dismissed on the ground that it was the dirty underhanded work of a certain politician of this county and one other person, whose joint purpose could onlv have been hatred and revenge with a malicious and unjustifiable intent to forever eliminate Mr. Lumley and myself from county politics which is exactly along the same line that the politician mentioned recently used against Attorney William M. Carroll of this city and former County Sheriff but now County Treasurer, Roy J. Stewart. _ ^ u. For some time before the returning of the recent indictment against Mr. Lumley and myself, we both knew that plana were being laid to try and secure some kind of an indictment against us, and that in furtherance of the plans, meetings were being held at i < u«} «« -v-ww --- •>. were present, and if anyone want* to know more fully of some of the efforts that were put forth atJthese meetings^ to aecure^evidence .oji .^ch^to^ iadict cian above referred to, at which AttoroeyR Attorney Pouse, Joe HoUy of McHenry.

PRIES '%• :] Mr. Lumley and myself, they have only to ask Truman Ade^ert Mbott or George Stevens, (both of Ringwood) as to what was said to Mr. Abbott and the way he was treated at one of these meetings to which he was t«ke,V^'j8 same Joe Holly, as it was apparent that a strong effort was being m^Je to get Abbott to say something that would in some way incriminate Mr. Lwnlejand I^avlf no idea and cannot even guess, how or when. I incurred the great displeasure, enmity and apparently the deep hatred of this woutd ^ Czar of this county, but I utterly defy both him and his colleague Attorney R. K. Welsh of Rockford, and I hereby say to both: "Keep right on as you have been doing. Go your full limit. .Pursue me just as long, as far and as hard as you both can, and I will be with you at the finish, but why not come out in the open in place of trying to stab me In the dark with a smoke screen around you.
