THIS Ia to certify, that the SANDER
Gus story regarding the free state men in
Kansas reported and circulated by Arno
Wiswell, Esq, democratic nominee FOR
congress in the 9th district, and others,
that, " was ten times" or WAS moro
afraid Of the free state men than was of
the border ruffians" is utterly and I'M
qualifedly false from beginning to end.
was always treated kindly and respect
fully by all free state people in Kansas
and heard no one complain of a different
treatment at their hands and before
the attack on Lawrence, felt as secure
az when living in Maine. But did fear
the border ruffiaas for what / saw and
knew OF them there, / was convinced
they were lawless and ferocious set of
men, given to every crime. No amount
OF money would have hired me to live
away from free state force for fear Of
the border rufians. And that was the
feeling of the women in Kansas
