Special to the Statesman.
PIrTsBURG, Tex, May 2S.-This morn
ing F. L. Richardson, a colored school
teacher and politician, circulated letter
purporting to be signed by White Gaps
from Camp, Hopkins, Titus and Morris
counties, and addressed to him, warning
him that his presence was no longer
needed here, etc. He carried said letter
to the editor of the Pittsburg Gazette,
the local paper at this place, for publica
tion, and with his own hand
made copy of the same.
On comparison by many experts
the original and the copy were pronounced
the same handwriting, and there being no
White Caps in any of the counties named,
it is conceded by both whites and blacks
who saw it that the author of both was
Richardson himself. Rumor has it that the
aforesaid politician has been waited upon
by unknown parties and spanked with q
board and asked to leave or stop his SEN
sationsl racket. He left on the south
bound local train this evening.
