TO THE PUBLIC.

Some notoriety having been given by news
paper publication to alleged facts in connection
with my retirement from the position of jailor Of
Augusta county, feel it is due to myself to ask
the consideration of the public of the following
letters and statements, in view of the report of
the Commissioners appointed to investigate the
Jail and of the action of county officials who were
my superiors in office. At the time was taken
sick the jail was in perfectly clean condition,
and would have been found so by the committee
had not sickness prevented my personal super
vision as was my custom.
believe that the public will agree with me in
thinking that the certificates and statements of
parties given below, who were in a betterposi-
ton than any other to judge of the habitual con-
dition and order of the Jail, fully vindicate in
the premises. Very respectfully,
LOGAN TURN Err,
Late Tailor.
