 s' have just learned, that, on the night of the l7th inst. poor old man named Broker was killed at Van Buren, by fel- low named Garrison, who commanded .Nontgomery's keet-Ioat.

 To Me Eduor cf ihe .9dvocate
 SIR-i find an aiusion made 10 me in the publication of Mir. Cummins, against Judge Johnson. Mir. Cummins state es that he has been informed that boasted of pre- venting an investigation of the charges made bv him in 1929, against Judge ohn- son. He has been misinformed-I made no such boast. did say that the charges resulted precisely as l anticipated they done no injury to the private or pulp lie conduct of Judge Johnson. When ii was understood that those charges were made in order to prevent the re-appont- ment of the Judge, l requested Col Me- hlnley, the Senator from Alabama, to whom they were enclosed, to see Judge trimble upon the subject of them He done so. Judge Trmhle was apprized of the charges. He replied to them f,,lly.- His letter IS yet on file and will speak for itself. He stated that, up to that date, he knew Judge Johnson intimately, and that he knew him to be Sentleman of strict honor and integrity, and withai an able, impartial and popular Judge. Judge Trimble's statement will be received by Mr. Cummins and his friends, if not by the Judges enemies, as a lawful tender
