- CHARACTER AND BUSHES DEFEATED.
TO the Public -
. The undersigned ci tizen, who has resided
in the town of McGreger for the last eight
years, engaged in keeping hotel believing
that many persons have been induced. from
the false representations of certain evil dispos.
ed persons, to believe that he has been guilty
Of . crime of the most hcnious character.
To correct public sentiment, and put to
shame those friends who have attempted to
ruin his character, and destroy his business he
Is induced to publish a statement of the follow
ing facts, in relation to the transaction which
brought forth these ISLANDERS ;; and finally caused
him TO be arrested: ...-3, .. r....
Some weeks ago, married lady, who had
boarded for several msnths before ut his house,
was taken sick and finally died. During her
illness two prominent physicians, prescribed
Tor her. furnished the money to other per-
sons,to buy the medicines prescribed, not
knowing what the prescriptions were.
Before the death OF the lady finding from the
information of the physicians that she could
not live, sent for her relatives who came to
my house and staid with her until her death,
and attended her funeral. In the mean time,
while she was corpse, at the Instance Of certain
persons to me unknown, she was taken charge
OF, by the public officers, and a post norton
examination held upon her body a jury was
called, several attorneys were employed for the
prosecution. and an examination in secret had ;
at which neither l nor my friends could be pre-.
sent These proceedings resulted in my be-
ing arrested, Oh q charge OF producing an
abortion. BY the advice of others waived an
examination. and gave bail for my appearance
at the last term of the District Court, of Clay
ton county. The whole case was investigated
by the Grand Jury and they refused to find a
bill Of indictment against me, and was dis
charged. ....s g-....r
The men who carried on this prosecution
against me, are to me unknown; they, like the
venemousreptile, hid in the grass struck unseen,
and fled from human sight. That this prosecu-
ton, and the stories originating from it have
done me and my family great wrong, and in
jured my business is true. But those who know
the facts will look upon my prosecutors as
heartless set Of wretches. The widest stories
have been told of me, and are widely crculat
