To The Editor of he National Republicdn
SIR Permit me, through your columns, to
make o true statement of the facts In the case
Of Joseph Mcintosh vs. Justice Moss and my
self, for an alleged assault aud battery on the
cath ultimo. The facts are substantially rs fol-
lows, to wit: On Saturday, the 22d of Feb
ruary, 1879, between the hours Of seven and
eight p. M, Justice Moss and myself were on
our way from Uniontown home; we overlook
Mcintosh, who interfored with our. converse
ton, and Justice Moss told him that he NC
Intosh) had nothing to do with the matter.
We then tried to outwalk him, because he was
inclined to raise a row. We had not gone far
when Mcintosh walked up between us and
began cursing Justice Moss in the most aggra-
waiting manner, and at the same time raised
his hand to strike the Justice, | then stepped
between tho parties to prevent trouble, when
Mcintosh struck me and attempted to
draw weapon. / then struck him,
knocking him some distance from me-
lie then returned and cinched me. We
then had regular fight, of which | got the
best. Justice Moss stood at least ten feet from
us during the entire time. He took no part in
the ailray whatever which fact sworo to in
the Police Court on tho day of trial and, aside
from this, there were three disinterested wit
ncsscs who swore to the Same facts. Yet Judge
Smell saw fit to make 1t appear to the public
that Justice Moss who Is one of the most OK
emplary young men In the District, was guilty
of an assault and battery by fining him 500
evidently contrary to the law and tho facts in
the case. But the end is not yet. l feel as
sured that jury of twelve Of my countrymen
will Mt the proper time not only exonerate JUS
tice Moss, but that they will justify me- under
the law of sei-delense--a doctrine which is MS
old as the common law. 1t will also be shown
that Judge Smell, in his extraordinary decision,
not only erred in judgment, but that lie was
actuatcd by prejudice against Justice Moss.
Trusting that you may allow this article q
place in your paper as proper vindication of
the character of a fcllow.citizen aud o public
officer, / nm, sir, very respectfully,
w. Il. TALLlAFERRO.
