'The said John Doe Ticehurst, on the 16th day of August 1899, in the City of Portland, County of Multnomah, State of Oregon, then and there being, did then and there maliciously and feloniously, by means other than words orally spoken, cause to be published of and concerning another, to wit John Healy, certain false and scandalous matter in the Sunday Oregonian, to wit "If we can't get these judges to do as we want, we will have judges that will," with intent then and there to injure and defame the said John Healy.'
'You'll come right along to Justice Hayne's Court, east side,' said the deputy-sheriff.
He was let out again at eleven o'clock on 'putting up' five hundred dollars cash bail.
'I reckon I've got him,' said Healy chuckling. 'We'll tie his old hooker up, and she getting ready for sea again, and we'll get the whole crowd out of her.'
'I have been coming to the conclusion of late years that going to sea was tolerably dull,' said Ticehurst to Sedgwick, as they walked through the crowd of loafers outside Hayne's Court. 'But Portland is not dull.'
'Even I don't find it so,' said the consul. 'But, of course, this is to keep you here. You're nearly ready for sea?'
'I shall be in three days.'
'And your crew?'
So far I've got them all.'
Sedgwick shook his head.
