hook I see ~ barrel. as heinz Capt. Throckunortun'.
and got frum Won ut Clirksville. In hopes the above
may prove satisfactory, ] remain respectfully yours,
wM. 2. GORHAN.
J. this man rrsprciahlr1 I say yes. Nav this will
conclu-ivrly show that this pork was sold aud not
sent az the order "a VIZ. Well> Inbrur- To show. !
have other evidence il ! thnuE ht il nerc>ssry- But 7
will just state tor the information of the public. if
this polk had been shipped 10 Mr Prliustun on thi.
order, there must of course been bills OF Isdrng made
out for this pork. Such was not done as the bill
against the boat or Captain will show. aud I could
furnish other evidence ii necessary and as Nr. Wells
says be authorized me 10 ell the pork for Il dollars,
but explained To me the nature Of a partial arrange
mrnt in anticipation which he says has failed -
Then taking the grounds OF its nullrty Il seems 10 me
he is catching ut .traws TO know which way TO
a., ~. "a n. kU.Il..., ..at any D,x-nn 70 .,y
that | did not sell that pork, but himself, why has not
he done ST. hef, re this time!
Wells says that he has seen Mr.. Pellinstnn, aud
that MIR Throckmoron told him that lac presented
the order aud got the pork this srrms very cunclu-
sive in Wells eve; hut mark y"n-does Captain
Throck morton say that I agreed ever To let the pork
ga on that order, No. lis prr-rnting the order aud
getting the pork and my letting the pork go on the
ord r i. two ihings; and you have n"rhin: Int Wells
word for what Mr.. P~rlIiuginn says, signed }. W.
How could ihis J. W be turned by Wells il not hard
for Ia cell ns he understands that game perie, tly
from all ! have seen of him in the cnntr"vrT-y.
In cuncInsiun, the issue ia, did Well. place the
pork in my care Il sell ct u doll.rs. aud have sold
this pork and paid the money over 10 hfnl All of
which Is conceded by Wells, in hi fIrner~ cornmnni-
caiinns. Or did I send the pork over the order, or
did ! sell the pork rs ag'eed on! I have shewn that
il il sold by the Clerks letter, and so set down in the
freight hook rs being Captain Throck moTtous; aud
I defy any thing to the contrary. BY all the ~freso-
ing te-iimony If ihi. is satisfactory Ia the public. I
shall conclude that have been malicionsly assaulted
by the man which signs hi. name "James Wells" aud
shall be .nti,f-d To let the public prnnouncr the SEN
trnce on the guilty. Ii ever | have tried To act
Justly in ans case. il was with tins man; aud | con-
.ider am wmngrd out of nv rights: but let this
suffice fur tue present, except ! shall Conclude that
this man has been actuated by that spirit which mo-
we'd on Judas j. OWsLEY.
