Slaughter Signs Paper Corrobora

the Story.
As stated In our last issue, Judge
W. T. Winfree went to henderson
Monday morning to demand Il salts.
factory adjustment of the sensational
affair in which his daughter had been
brought into such public notice. lie
was accompanied by two legal
friends, Judge Joe McCarroll and
| Col. A. II. Clark. Upon starting
they telegraphed MIR. Gus. Slaughter,
Sr father Of the young man in the
case, that they were coming. Mr..
Slaughter, Sr, met them at the train.
FRIENDS of both sides met that after
noon and the neStdTy and after an
understanding had been arrived att
Gus. G. Slaughter, Jr., through his
representatives, agreed TO do the
manly thing and publish truthful
statement Of the affair, which would
give the lie TO the thousand and one
false versions of the affair which
were being circulated aud some Of
which had found their way into the
o wensboro Messenger sad other pa
pers. The card below was drawn up
aud being taken TO Mr.. Slaughter, Jr.,
he signed il aud the matter was thus
settled in an amicable manner,
though the young man himself aud
Judge Winfree we're never allowed to
meet. This statement IL, we hope,
the end of the matter, as it is conf
pletc vindication of the young lady
and q population of all stories and
alleged interviews in conflict with
her statement of the matter.
CARD TO THE rUBLio.
Having been greatly perplexed and
annoyed with innumerable questions
and criticisms Of late concerning cer-
tain rumors that have been paraded
before the public by the social gossips
aud newspapers, rejecting upon the
social worth and purity of Miss Lulu
Winfree, of iIopkinsville, l desire to
say word to the public in behalf of
said young lady. However mortify-
ing this statement may be TO me, ]
regard her own vindication MS of the
first Importance. / believe Miss
Winfree to be young lady of un-
blemished character and impulses.
No man can truthfully say that she
has over presented here or elsewhere,
so far as know, any but maidenly
and modest department. Her uni
versal demeanor in my presence has
been gentle, innocent, and unsuspect-
ing. No sort of faint of immodestV
or impurity Of thought, so far as |
know or believe, eau be charged to
her.
