Editor Tibodauc Sentinel: Will
yon have the kindness - publish
tho following:
From information which l have
received through the medium OF
severa! of my friends; it appears
| am accused of having in COM
pany with Mr.. Michel Adam eth
e. made or signed d certain petit
ton against ouHJustice of the
Peace, Judge Auguste Cretini
aud his Constable Eugene Creti
nj, aud furthermore it IS affirmed
that, il the said petition ii Ger
tain clause was inserted stating
that Mr.. Eugene Crelini was not
tit to serve as Constable BECAUSE
he is attacked with that horrible
disease commonly called leprosy,
and that l had generally stated
to the public that | would not re
ceive an official notice coming
from Mr.. Eugene Cre:ini's hands
because l did not cons der it safe
for him even to enter u house.
In answer TO all such calomnies
| have but II answer; They are
false as false as any one Can
make them. | have nevcr ut any
time made or been Il party to the
making of Il petition against eth
er Judge Creiini or Sou if my
signature has eve been affixed
10 il petition of that nature it has
been done without my knowledge
or consentment and l pronounce
it Il forgery, in conversation |
have never stated TO Mr.. Michel
Adam or others that l even
thought Eugene Cretini was suf
iering from the leptosy; NJ.
Michel Adam did once last sum
mer speak 10 me about petition
against Aug. Cretini, he did not
mention the name of Eugene
Cre,ini, l told Michel Adam that
[ would neither write or sign any
petition of that kind, | said SO be
fore three witnesses WHO were
present at our conversation those
three witnessing are still living
and can be produced at any time.
1t Mr.. Michel Adam has hard feel
ings against Anguste Cretini aud
family gu account of certain law
suits which ] presume has not
been decided to suit him, and he
desires to revenge himself with
petitions aud other such nonsense,
he will please leave my name from
his list as being one of the ,nsti
gators in all such business.
Up to today I have always
been Oh good terms with Judge
Creti',i's family ; aud l again rel
terate that in all cases wherein
Michel Adam has tii.d to blast
the reputation of Cretini and fam
lily I have never been a party to
or instigator i'll any movement Of
that kind.
MI. Editor l should not trouble
you with Our difficulties down
here, but l have been attacked
publicly, and as l am innocent, |
feel it a duty TO my family aud
myself 20 defend myself publicly,
feeling assured that you will per-
nit me TO cleanse my name of all
impntation which may have been
heaped upon it by evil disposed
persons.
