His Intention to Bring Suit for Libel
Against Every Louisiana Paper that
Reproduced that Mule story.
washington Post. April 16l
The Post called upon ex-Gov. j. Madison
Wells at the Waverly House yesterday, for the
purpose of subjecting that somewhat celebra-
ted gentleman to An interview The Gov
ernor received the Post courteousy and ex-
pressed his perfect willingness to answer any
and all questions that might be propounded
by anybody touching his public life and ad-
ventures.
as conversations usually do, and only came
down to o direct interview when the Post
asked the Governor:
How about your threatened libel suit
against Alex. Mcclure?
II shall take my time in instituting the
suit, and don't propose to institute it in q
Pennsyl vania court, nor at the home Of the
editor OF the Times, if | can obtain service
upon him elsewhere"
"YOu intend, then, to sue In the United
States courts p
Yes; not being a citizen of Pennsylvania
have right to bring the action in the United
States courts"
What in the publications in the Times con-
stitutes the libel p
"a defamation Of character contained in an
article published about the latter part Of
March. This is about the extent of what j
propose to say on the subject at present"
Nv hat, In substance, are the charges made
against you by the TImes?'
"That have been defaulter, q murderer
and q mule thief"
What have you to say to the Post concern
ing these charges?'
Simply this: that they are all false-infa-
mously so. Two OF these charges were inves-
tigated by the special committee, Of which
Mr.. Morrison was chairman, that went to
Louisiana in December, 1876, to investigate
the Louisiana election. / refer you to the
printed testimony for my vindicativn."
these two charges wereY'
'DefalcatiOn and murder. The other charge
about the mules was made by an anonymous
correspondent of the New Orleans DEMOCRAT
and copied by the Times"
EDO you intend to sue the New Orleans
DEMOCRAT?'
eyes, at II proper time, and every paper in
the State of Louisiana that has published the
article"
Are you not afraid of the juries down
there2'
Il am not afraid of The juries when the sub
lect matter Is OF n personal character / am
afraid Of the juries when the subject matter is
political. | am afraid of Louisiana jures
when political questions are involved, because
have had my experience of them in the An
derson trial The Anderson jury was packed,
and known to be packed, as have already
stated in card published in the New York
Times some time since"
