ment to Dlhrell, that he, Dlbrell, says

to the letter above spoken Of or to
any other letter TO any one In regard
TO Hubbard further certify, that the
statement made to Dibrell, IN regard
TO my name being signed TO anything;
was the above dispatch, dated Dallas,

W +. MORTON, deputy CITY Marshal.
Personally appeared before me, w.
l.. Cabell, Mayor Of the city of Dallas,
w. +. Morton, who, after being duly
sworn, dep0ses and says the foregoing
certificate IL the truth and is correct.
Sworn to aud subscribed before me
this the 10Th day Of March, 1876.
". l., CABELL, Mayor,
hereby certify that the above letter,
written and dated December 10, 1876,
was written by myself without the
knowledge or consent of Captain w.
Il. Morton; furthermore, that | signed
the letter Morton, Captain of Police,
through error as to his official rank,
and that | directed the letter 10 the
sheriff Of Robertson county, nj Calvert,
and that | did this for the purpose that
If they captured Hubbard that they
could confer with w. i. Morton. |
further certify that some time after
this, some three or four weeks, told
Captain Morton that | had written to
several points In regard to Il negro
who had stolen some property,
and signed his name per my
self Captain Morton stated that
| ought not to have done this
as Captain Peak was Marshal and
Chief of Police, Captain Morton is in
no way responsible for the letter, AS he
did not know anything about it, and |
further certify that never told Dib-
breil, as he says ! did, that Captain
Morton authorized me to sign his
name to anything. The only thing
that Captain Morton had to do in con
nection with the matter (Hubbard's
arrest) was the answering of Reinhart
and DibreiPs dispatch, at my request.
J. II. HUMBER.
Personally appeared before me, Nat.
NJ. Burford, Justice of the Peace, J.
L. Humber, and, after being duly
sworn, deposes and says that the fore.
going certificate is true and correct.
Sworn to and subscribed before me
this the 10th day of March, 1876.
NAT. NJ. BURF0RD, J. p.
Now, as Dibrell sayN, comment is UNI
necessary. | only ask that an impair
tial community decide whether Dibrell
and his accomplices, IL he has any,
have told falsehood or whether |
have. The present IS good time to
try to put up jobs upon me, but |
hardly think this one will succeed. |
hope that this will be the last time
will have to resort to the papers to re-
flute falsehoods circulated against me
cause. W. i. MORTON.
