your face, l write this that you may
know exactly what i have said,
"You lave sworn falsely under oath
when, at Chester, on ID Of August last,
you testified you had paid 5000 for GER
tain judgments.
"You uttered a falsohood when, in
your argument before Judge Wallace on
Wednesday last, you said you had been
enticcd into tho arbitration, knowing, as
you did, that you had proposed and
named both arbitrators.
"You acted treachcrously and in bad
faith when you prepared and slgued the
papers binding all parties to faithfully
abide the award, and when 1t WAS against
you refusing to DO so, and openly ana
shamefuiiy before Judge Wallace claim
ing that the agreement so prepared by
you was illegal, that you knew 1t to be
such, and would not abide the award OF
Judge Wallace's decree ii IS sustained Il.
"You acted both ~ruscally aud liShon-
estly when you bought Il mortgage fora
nominal sum and brought suit on ii,
when us Il attorney in 1881 you had
advised us it was worthless.
SSNru optrl tbp GppHnlrnl whom ytI,

the arbitration i'll part, provided we
would consent to let this mortgage,
known to you TO be worthless and for
which you only paid so, take prece-
dence of a good one given Pelzcr,

you acted the s%coundrcl when you
threatened us with three years litigation
if we would not accept from you 81, 600,
for the same interest we offered you
$1,000. Power and property may be
dear to you, but obtained mt such sacri-
flee can benefit you little. You may
waste the estate in litigation. You may
keep us in law three years, or twenty, us
you claim to have kept a case, but i'll
dolh8 SO you nave associated me name
