TO tl.e Electors of LA Sale County
OttaaCa, July 2Sth, 1870.

A certain Circular having Just made
its appearance signed by William Red
dick, the present Sheriff of the county of
LA Sale, in which certain reports are
mentioned as having been circulated by
"EmisSdries," TWO of whom are said to
be on an embassy from this town, travers-
ing the county for the sole purpose of
preventing the reelection of said Red
dick; 1t becomes necessary for some of
Those who are opposed to his reelection
to the Office Of Sheriff to explain, or rather
unravel the mystery which hangs around
some of the things which are presented to
the public in the shape of facts in said
CIRCULAR ~
With regard to the lcter, dated Troy
Grove, July 10th, 1910, addressed to
said Reddick by sundry good citizens of
that quarter, it is necessary to say few
words, not merely to the letter itself, but
to the n. Ter in which matters contained
in that letter are passed over by the depo-
sitlons of Morris w. Martin, deputy
sheriff, and Thomas J. True, coroner.--
The first deposition taken appears to be
that of M. w. Martin, and is no doubt in
tended to clear up one of the reports
which the said letter from Troy Grove
mentions as having gone forth about the
lll-treatment of prisoners confined in the
County Jail, awaiting their trial. Mr..
Martin in his deposition says that Samuel
L. Parks, one Of the prisoners confined in
the county jail awaiting his trial at the
last February term of the Circuit Court,
repeatedly both before and after his
(Parks) acquittal, told him that during the
term he was confined in said all 90 thai
he received much better treatment than he
ever expected to receive in any jail"-i
is probable that the poor fellow when tel
ling this to Martin, might have thought
that the fact of his being prisoner, an,
treatment was good enough and upon
the liberation Of said Parks, he, in the
hearing of sundry citizens, declared, thai
the filth in the cell which was daily &C.
cruing and from which no pleasant odor
could come, was not removed for several
days at time. He also declared that
neither he or the other prisoner confined
had sufficiency of clothing to keep them
warm, and also, that at times, they, mean.
ing both of the prisoners confined, had
not sufliciency of food. These facts
were stated in public by said Parks, after
his liberation, and if afIidavits to the same
were necessary, they could be easily pro-
duced from more than one in whose hear.
ing Parks stated the above. 1t is I'm.

Its sparkling mines of diamonds rare.
Its silver streams and deserts bare,

44O dollars, that said Reddick collected
said money, and loaned the same to

showed to me the notes which were given
for the said money, and informed me it
