"hco caucus in Spartanburg? and wasn't
! something said about sharpening Brutus

, an editorial or communication
MIR. Crews-Therc was m article of TINT
nature published in the HerdH n week or
, :mo nS'' nut the Farley mentioned was not
J Intended to apply to you-it was Lid For,ev
mere was also something said about "BrI,
,us daggers, and was nn editorial written
MIR. Farcy-Whore did you pct vour in

.ne source OF my information in regard 70
NV eu'orial IN question Impressed me at tho Z
s .ua. nc was s snae,S1ElnKa Md f0 frs
and when he afterwards alluded to the fact :;
that he had a personal enemy here who was
trying to injure him, and other such express
sions, without directly naming any one, 4
could plainly see that his references were to l.
Senator lIby. | then told MIR. Farley dis ,
tinctly and positively that neither Senator
Irby nor any one else had ever mentioned J
the subject to inc, AMI that | was responsible c
for the editorial and the reference to "B-u- /
ms daggcrs," etc.
The above is the conversation which took
place between Mr.. Farley and myself as well t
as can remember and the substance Of
what have written and what was said by ,
us on the occasion referred to can be cub
stantiatcd by three other employees IN
the U,rGR office, who heard the conversa-
