Error in Statement About the Time Sheriff Received Order.

The Republican was in error in stating the time that Sheriff Shirer received the order for the release cf Clinton L. Bader. This paper stated that the order was received by him Sunday. Instead it was received Saturday afternoon, less than three days after the order for commitment had been made. The sheriff states and the answer he filed sets forth that on Saturday morning a telegram was received from M. M. Hathaway, who was in Indianapolis, that the governor had issued the order for Release, and at about 2 o’clock of that Saturday afternoon, Mr. Hathaway arrived in Winamac with the order for the sheriff to release the prisoner. The sheriff could have arrived at home that afternoon by hiring an automobile, but there was no train connections, so he waited until Sunday, when Mr. Bader, who was coming over, offered to bring him in an automobile without expense to the sheriff or the county. That the sheriff thought himsel* to be in the right we do not believe any person who knows him will question
