■ -
Squire W. S. Moore Offers an Ex
planation in Regard to the
Qualls-Black Case.
ditor The Journal
I noticed in a recent issue of
The Journal, also in a subsequent
f issue of the Newport Herald, cop
ied from The Journal, that one
flubbard Black went to the home
of George Qualls, raised a disturb
ance, drew his knife and made
threatening remarks to Qualls,
;t, whereupon Qualls procured a pis
ift'il and fired several shots at Black;
that a day or two later Qualls was
arraigned before me and acquitted
and Black placed under a $600
Bbond, and that later Black was al
Bso tried and acouitted.
I
From the reading of your artic
le one would infer that 1 had ac
quitted two men that should have
I»een hung or sent to the peniten
tiary.
Now will you do me the justice
anil kindness to allow me space to
make some explanation? Part of
the uhov e is correct. 1 was lawful
ly informed of the difficulty and
from the affidavits j issued a war
rant for assault with intent to kill
for each of them. When ('unstable
(i. A. Sanders made the arrest
Mr. Black was not able to appear,
whereupon each of them were
placed under a $250 bond for their
appearance Indore me on the 14th
of October. On that date they
appeared and Qualls was tried be
fore me, Squire Tomlinson sitting
with me, for an assault with intent
to kill. In our judgment the evi
dence was not sufficient to bind
him over to await the action of the
grand jury and he was acquitted
of this charge and held for aggra
vated assault, and immediately af
terwards la* was tried on that
charge by a jury of as good men
as the community affords and was
acquitted.
Black's trial was continued un
til the 17th and he was never put
under any but the $250 bond. On
the 17th he was acquit ted as charged
in the warrant and held for an ag
gravated assault. He was then
tried by a jury of six good men
and was acquitted. Now these are
the facts, as my docket will show.
It takes evidence to convict a man.
Yours very truly,
\Y. S. Moore, J. P.,
White River Township.

FOR CONGRESSMAN
"‘Hot Stuff” Nominates His Old
Friend, Prof. Cash For a
Seat in Congress.
Editor The Journal
I hear that our beloved Profes
sor Cash is thiuking of running
for Congress up there next year,
and after talking with some of his
friends about the matter I decided
to write and ask you if it is true.
Now the professor is a mighty
good man and we would like to see
him elected to some soft job so he
could support his family without
having to borrow so much from
his neighbors. Its not so bad to
borrow, but the professor always
forgets to pay back what he bor
rows, and of course that sort of
borrowing gets old after awhile,
even to a man in my circumstan
PP.S
As I said before 1 have just had
a little talk with some of the neigh
bors here and we have decided to
assist the professor all we can if
he does run, for we are getting
anxious for him to get in condi
tion to repay us the stuff he has
borrowed. And we feel that a
bout the only way to do it is to
get him elected to some office. We
have decided that it would be bet
ter to send him to congress, be
cause the salary is sufficient, if ho
will live economically, to enable
him to pay back what he has bor
rowed from us in the course of
three or four years.
The professor ran for school di
rector out here once and got nine
votes out of 146 that were polled,
but I think, Mr. Editor, that if
you will vote for him ho will beat
that if he runs for congress, for
you know he has a good many kin
folks up there.
1 loping to see his announcement
in your paper and that you will
do all you can for him, I remain,
Your Friend,
Hot Stuff.
