Letter from m Wee President Reia-
tive TO the Difficulty Between mr..
Edmunson and Mr. Hickman

To fhs Editors Of Washington CourfifEiion:
GEErLENES: In connection with the recent
difficulty between Mr.. Edmunson. Of Virginia,
and Mr.. Hickman, Of Pennsylvania, some ex-
traordinary misststemen's have appeared In
the publie papers. The New York Trfbunr
and other presses have delibcrateiv charged

was present on that occasion 70 assist Mr.. Ed
munson 10 an assault on Mr.. Hickman, and
that, being armed, we stood ready to assassI-
nate the latter gentleman in case be shoulI
make the least resistancs.
Ihars been very much surprised atfhese ae-
QUESTIONS, but have waited a reasonable time
in the hope .hat Mr.. Hickman would feel
bound to correct them He has not done so
and. since thew are persistentlv reneafed. I
think it proper to make the following state
ments
IhappeHed 70 witness the difficulty between
those gentlemen. Il was not a fght-ff was
only a scene. They were walking together
toward the gate OF the capitol grounds that
leads into the avenue. was some distance
behind them, and unaecompanied. excant bv
nv little son. Suddenly fhey stood apart. and
Mr.. Edmunson raised his right hand a. in 10
strike, when his arm was instantly seized BY
some one (Mr. Keitt, I think, who drew him
away.
At the moment thai he made a mosion with
his Jeff hand toward Nr. Hickman. whose hat
fei OIL an unable % say whether Mr.. Ed
mundson touched e., OF the fall was caused bv
an involuntary movement Of Mr.. Hickman's
head apnro7ehsd as rapidly az possible,
and stood between the parties. Mr.. Hickman
seemed discouraged aud aeitated, but I saw no
evidence OF fear. He had not attemDtad 10
strike Mr.. Edmundson. and % course. after
the interpOsition o. bvstands-v. no conflict
would have been allowed After p narss ~ =
few moments, / took Mr.. Hick--an's arm. and
suggested that we should walk on. 10 which
he a~ssen'ed, and We walked Together % the
gate.
The only proof OF q purpose 70 assassinats
that came under ny notice, was he i~nterser-
ence Of Air. Keitt and others 70 preserve The
peace, and which was happily 90 prompt and
eiectual as b prevent even 2 collision.
For myself, the charge that 7 was armed for
any purpose, IL, like the rest. wholly unfoun-
ded and false. For reasons entirely sstisfac-
tory to myself, ! never have, in civil lie. ear
ried z weapon Of any kind on my person. The
sum Of It is. that I have performed a kind and
good natured act, and have been extensively
abused FOR e. VERY respectfuTr,
