| "Mr. BLAIR-Duff Green, in his Telegraph OF
yesterday, makes statements to the following eft.
feet, viz:
| That in 1926, before cspoused the cause of Ge
neral Jackson, ho pledged himself to obtain for me
a loan of s 1900 to relieve me from ccunary oh
| legations to Mr.. Clay.
! That in December 1927 I "camc 10 Wosb;nr
ton and claimed the redemption of his sspledce
when he "made up for' "the sum of three
thousand dollars, twelve hundred of which," he
advanced himself, upon the understanding thatn
should repay it to the gentleman 'sfrom whom
lie "had borrowed it i'll Nashville" or as he SAYS
IN another place, 'upon" my "obiigation to paw
that sum upon" his ''note in Nashville"
These statements with the differences intended to
be authorised by them, l pronounce utterly false
from beginning to end.
NO such pledge made, or by me asked or
thought OF in 1926, and if Mr. Green mentioned a
loan OF money to Col. Johnson, the latter never
repeated it to me. Mr.. Green was then and lonc
after soliciting advances of money from Maine to
georgia to sustain his Teiegraph; and he had lust
borrowed money to bring him TO Washin cton, and
70 have predlcated any thing upon his pledge of
Pecunlary aid, would have been as idle as to ex-
Pect kingdoms upon the promises of lunatic beg
gar.
never claimed of Mr. Green the redemption of
any such pledge.
MIR. Green never made up for me ''the sum of
three thousand doa s." or if he did, he has cheated
Others and kept the money himself
