MFIRMARY AFFAIRS.
The Superintendent Replies

Ard I will make some replies
He speaks of me being the agltato
of the talk from the infirmary,
defy him to bring forth the person'
who will confirm bis statement, h'
is himself the one who has agitated
a great deal more than l have.
will give him good evidence that
was not the agitator. And he had
better keep his ''infernal lying
mouth shut as for my being the
ag,tator. And if l felt like saying
ANYTHING l would moi need to bor-
row hrs Tools TO sayit. can fur
nish my own to"ls.
lie says condemn myself in re
gard 10 the meat spelling. see no
condemnation at all. Ior neither
can he, but this is only way OF his
own to creep out Of what he knows
he is fully responsible Tor. dare
h,m 20 bring this reliable person
he spenks of that told him that 1t
wis considerable time bef"rc l paid
any attention 10 the meat. MUIR
phy made this from whole cloth.
he also states l was in the
smoke house aud help handle the
meat when il Was InvOlced. l
think. the iiandIlng was very little
any one did at that time. There
was just two psices taken down
aud weighed and that was the ex.
tent of handling at the invoicing,
and IRON those pieces sn estimate
was made of the whole lot.
He further says | was a fool for
.aking tho meat of his hsnds us
though at any time I had any right
tn do it when | had not taken pDs-
session at that time | think him
the greater fool for saying that the
meat was smoked almost enough
and told that in the presence of my
wife Aud in the article he says
part had only been hung up q week
before We came, both stories don't
work we'll togel her. l eau furnish
just as good evidence of the meat
when l came Ms he dare furnish.
And the jowls were not handled Ut
all, this he very we'll knows at the
invoicing bu; the lid of the barrel
only raised and looked into and of
course The tainled meat could have
been detected If it had been band
led, but such Was not the case. and
his word was taken that the meat
was good and the way they were
put away was enough to turn the
stomach of lbe hog itself. Who
ever heard tell of putting away
that kind of meat with the lips on!
Why the filth OF that is bad .
nnugh not to say anything else.
And they would have to smell
strong for any one to smell them
til. short time the Id was from the
barrel. hut they caused quite II
stencil when they we're handled.
He says | must have had a bad
c.ld at that time, we'll If 1 had l
needn't, and | wish | could have
hid at the time they were hand ed;
And l think he mnat have had a
bad cold which hal settled in his
head for week before the invoic
ing or he would have detrcted 1t
before. or probably lie IS afflicted
with catarrh aud has not the use OF
that one sense that tie never de-
iecie,i II at all.
Yes, n,v st. mach demands more
.'igs-'ibe TODD Than sp,i'ed Wwls
with the Fps on Aud he must
nave had the .tnmacl, %, n hog hin
>aI; or hr would not talk of this
being deIica:e e food. lie also says.
Probably | could not Distinguish
betw cen lard aud mUuId'" Well
now this is a. smart saying of his
which | will give him credit for.
had seen plenty of lard bef.'re I
came and for mould. Why before |
had been here two days became
familiar with that olj,ct BY seeing
40 much moulded hay in the barn,
And talk "e my statement being
Thin. Why who could make a
thinner production han he did in
his reply to Mr.. Brooke that he
did not know ,he hay was moulded
until the direct rs came to Invnice.
Why this had been the country
talk long before came here and
hesides one of the directors told me
personally that his horse had been
fed on moulded hay long before
the invoicing took place and if he
would be on the spoiled meat too
Il il said ignorance is bliss. well
this does sound blissful tn the ears
of the public. And if I was he /
would not expose quite so much
ignOrance.
He finally says it have done
anything criminal why the sooner
the public knows it the better
He must surely have done some
thug. or he would not expect to be
accused of crimlnailty. But true
sayiug is ~ guilty conscience is it's
own accuser" and his conscience
must accuse him or he would not
speak Ms he did
Hope this will suffice AID that
