cas- has stated that he caught Bailey
stealing sheep-Dillard Bailey, Rich
ard BaiIey's brother says that Dick
stole thirteen hogs, and is a ID
thief Richard II. Hill caught him
with his mule which he had stolen and
sold. We cannot believe Dick Bailey
on oath. We also believe that the
object of Lucas and Bailey, in publish
ing the article in the APPEAL de-
nOuncing DIR. Payne as an assassin,
was to get militia sent here that they
might have a preteXt to rob and
plumber their neighbOrs.

in conclusion. allow me TO that
your article came very near giving
| our c0untya great deal Gf trouble, and
! had it not been for the good sense of
the Sheriff OF neSOtO county, who
acted with circUmspeGt!9n III the mat
ter, several OF us would now he ~
irons in Jackson on a charge of Rilling
this man, who, as will be seer by the
following statements, is not dead:
certify that oL1the 23d Of May, A.
D.. 1869, / met Geo. w. McCjinnis
! abqEt this was six hours after he was
in our hands, O'Clock pm. He was

to call your attention to the following
statement in answer TO the charge

We, tie undersigned citizens Of De-
! Soto county, .aaye read the statement
of Lucas aud Bailey liz tie APPEAL of
| the DIST of July, and do not hesitate i
pronounce ii false i'm the main. We
| were present IT the time of the arrest.
No violence nor rough language was
gsed. Nc law was broken; no diStl.-
baaCe OF Sunday School or other eX-
| crciseS took place. Ne arms were dis
| played, except those taken ffGm Me-
Ginnis, Whodid not deny The charges
made against him by DR., Paine.
We have never heard OF Il baud Of
| 2sSassins in this country. No honest
man Ge6% DR.. Paine or any of his az
/ sociates, as no ossG can associate with

! high-tOnea gentleman, and VIA Rot
tolerate thieves abeGt him. and We
suspect that is what's the matter.
