% words put into his mouth by the Gazette. YES.
rday, and repeating he says, what he said at the
1al.-- Commercial ~ '''o
M The Gazeffe put no Swords into" the mouth Of
haries D. Agnes, and the Commercial is well
ware OF this fact. Our reporter went to the Office
cf Esquire Publ in his rounds, and there copied
he precise words OF the affidavit made bv Agnes
as read to him, and it was SO published
The Commercial is also aware of the fact Tim,
the same afhdavit appeared on the same day in
foery E0enng with the addition Of the words.
'and, also. that this was one Of them" We clip
1t from the last named paper of Wednesday:
FALSE REPRESENTATION AT THE POLLS.
Charles D. Agnes and Rufus Burris. two co,,rea
men, had hearing this morning before ESQUIRE
rum on charge OF having in their possession
N forged tax receipts
4 From the evidence taken it appears that at the
last city election coiored man na,ued Kufus Dur
II ms attempted to vote at tha First Ward polls ON
4 tax receipt made out to Rufus Boys. The Inspe,
.or refused MS ballot, kept the receipt and caused
Il his arrest to-day.
Il He said he got the receipt from charles u Ao-
ness. who was also arrested
1hey mad hearing, when Aeness made oath
that "Henry F. Pickles. Edmund Proves. and
ChaIies II: Gallagher, at Wilmington aforesaid on
or about the 3d day OF September, 1872 said that
h whatever tax receipts they would send to his
house or had left there would be all right to vote
on at tne city election III the year 1872" and So
that this was one OF them
1t will be perceived that the affidavit published
in Erery Eremin3 is nearly verbatim with that
which appeared in the Gazette.
Esquire Publ received a telegraph dispatch last
night from Baltimore stating that hi, sister was
dying. and he started for that city on the mid
night train THIS necessitates delay in the disput-
ed points in Agness' oath. In the mean time, as
II. +. Pickels name Is connected with the affair
we publish the following advertisement at his re-
quest, which was brought in our Office by him yes
terday too late for edition OF that afternoon:
