rr. Richardson Replies to Judge Boiling


MARION, VA. March 30.-Spccial.-
ferring 10 a letter Of Judge w. II. Boil
ing which appears in The Times OF the
26th inst. your correspondent will state
that he does not wish TO, and Will not
knowingly, misrepresent the Norfolk and
Western company or any one else and
that he believes that Judge Boiling would
be as far as any man from imputing such
disposition did he know him as your
correspondent, as well as he does social
~ and fraternally. l herewith append
cards In reference 10 the burying OF the
unfortunate MIR. Sutherland, which speak
for themselves:
From j. y. Hull, Town Sergeant:
Marion, Va, March 70, 1895.
Your correspondent stated a fact In the
following sentence which appeared in
his letter TO The Times of 2Sd inst.-to-
wit; 1.-THE Norfolk and Western authori-
ties refused to bury the body"
Mr.. Cowden, the agent Of the company
here, refused 10 have anything 10 do
with the body, as did also Superintendent
Osborne, by telegram, stating that the
county must bury it.
]. NJ HULL,
Sergeant of Town OF Marion, Va.
l acted as coroner that held the inquest
over the body OF Preston Sutherland, and
after II was completed / asked the depot
agent. Mr.. Cowden. II they would bury
the dead man, and MIR. COwden, the
depot agent, having no orders to that eff
feet, | asked him to telegraph Mr.. Os-
borne If they would pay the burial ex-
penses. / cannot give the words OF his
reply, but can say that It was unfavora-
bic. SO much so that / concluded 10
have him buried and told the Sergeant 10
telephone the undertaken TO come and
take the measure for the coffin, and on
my return TO town met the undertaken
and asked him 10 tell the Sergeant not
TO do anything until he heard from me.
as / thought the Railroad Company ought
10 bury him; that / would counsel about
IL. but concluded to have him buried. and
did so at the expense OF the county.

What was said in reference 10 the en-
gneman in my letter of 23d inst. which
statement was gathered from information
from others. tended rather 10 eXonerate
him from blame than otherwise. for the
killing Of Sutherland. although 1t was
done on long stretch of straight track
and in the day time.
