WAsHINCTuN, oct. al.-Attornev
General Harmon has received from
Judge KiIgorc Of United states dis
tr.et % tine Indian Territory, his an
swer 10 charges made and filed by
". @. Davis -of Gainesville. Texas.
September ts, last. These charges
alleged incompetcncy, oppression in
office, gross official misconduct, etc.
The Judge takes up each charge in
detail, ard in some instances quotes
from the court records with a view
TO showing tnat the charges are un-
qlaIifiedly false.
Judge Kilgore says Davis charges
originated in the disagreement be-
tween him and the master in chan
ccry in the ease of Armour Brothers
banking company case against Ad-
dingtoa Ct al, during the pendency
OF which Davis, Kilgore says, delib-
c;atciy attempted TO take advantage
IT the friendly relations previously
existing between them to influence
him the Judge in behalf Of his eli
ents.
MIR. Davis, VS. the Judge. "in-
Weighs with gre Nitterness against
the practice OF blowing by the
court al the saxi!.4. agencies in
suits which have her- ,forc been in
common use in thi jurisdiction.
There are great many people in
this district from the state Of Texas
who have failed in that state and re-
;noved their property TO the Chicka-
saw nation and transferred il to some
member Of the family or some trust
Cd friend, To hold for them for the
purpose OF defrauding their credi-
tors.
"Mr. Davis clients are Texas peo-
pie. and he seems determined to pre-
ven; investigation of the status OF
his clients property. To prevent
this, he attacks most vigorously the
system which now prevails, and
masters in chancery who are the
agencies OF his administration.
IL well known that lawful and
peaceful methods OF adjustment Of
controversies have only in recent
years been inaugurated in this coun-
try and certainly the most efficient
means Of eliminating the Winchester
ard six-shooter from the contest
property and property rights in this
country il found in the system Mr..
Davis denounces and every one else
commends. As a general thing the
people asc inclined to obey the man
dates OF process Of the United States
courts. II j. n matter OF supreme
Importance that they should be obey
ed, and they must be while I am on
the bench"
The statement made by Mr.. Davis
that receivers are appointed without
sufficient complaint and when ap-
pointed continue as long as the prop
crty holds out, Judge KiIgore says is
made without the slightest regard for
the truth.
The allegation that Judge Kilgore
said TO Mr.. Davis that IL he made
charges against him he would cut
his throat j. characterized as false.
During a conversation with Davis,
Judge Kilgore saws that he Davis
drew his knife on him and demon
strated threateningly. At that time
Judge told him that IL he undertook
70 assault him with his knife he
would drop him out of the window.
The reply IS a lengthy one and Is
evidently intended TO answer all ale
cations. The substance Iis that the
charges are wholly false and were
prompted BY malice and that Davis
supporters in the matter are either
disappointed politicians or are in
fuenced BY improper motives
