with "Herald extra" in what he calls
"vindication" OF himself. A worm
will squirm when you tread on him, es-
pecially with iron heels.
As to his thieving, he paradcs the de.
positions of A. L. Bingaman, and A. c.
Chisholm, which amount TO nothing,
but that they saw him with roll of mo-
ney. The public knew all that before,
and yet suspected him. How happens
that7 Both witnesses state that he paid
bill ct the tavern out Of that roll
What right had he 10 use the "roll" Of
his clients money for that purpose p.
But Mr.. Bingaman says Kendall subse:
9uently ascertained the sum OF money
lost to be "a larger sum" than he at
FIRST thought. No doubt Of 1t. Posi-
bly, the idea Of stealing it never occur.
red TO him until after Chisholm had re-
fused TO take il to Vicksburg, and as the
emergency was sudden, he did not think
but the course he should pursue, to good
advantage. He probably forgot just
then how large a sum he must say was
stolen. Does any one on this earth be-
leive that a lawyer who "wasn't much
of lawyer no how" and was doing a
limited practice, could start to Vicksburg
for the purpose cfdepositihg about TO-.
600 dollars Of his clients money, and
not knop Uheiher he had $4,000 With
him or only $4,000? Does any one un-
der Heaven believe that man who put
out hand-bill at such time offering
reward Of $500 for the recovery ofthe
precise sum Of S6,le5, could have lost
100000 Why did he not say $4,000
in round numbers if his memory was so
sreacherous?
In addition 10 these two certificates,
Kendall also gives the verdict OF jury
against his clients, adding that his cli-
ents "are satisfied with his conduct and
efforts to refund their money" This
verdict is only in one Of the cases-he
chose TO forget the other-and if his eli
ents are SO we'll satisfied. why did they
sue him? Again, the fact that he owed
$4,000 to his clients, and accounted
for the loss of the whole Of it by saying
S6,l65 had been stolen from him, was
never broughtin evidence before thai
jury. That might have altered their
verdict, especially when coupled with
the thousand and one other circumstan
ces which were not brought before them
Wonder ifthe fact was before the jury
that he received pay for one of ,hes'
debts in negroes? Were. the negroes
stolen too, dear Col.7 Try again sir
Depend upon it you cannot laugh off
charge Of this sort. You must produc,
other testimony before your "vindica
ton" will be complete and triumphant,
as you call it.
