My unfortunate domestic affairs
have beeu ventilated in court and a
Guthrie evening sheet has been pre-
senting the matter in most unfavor..
able light, and seeking to degrade nie
in the eyes of the public. For mum
ber OF years have been trying TO ar
range my affairs and achieve fixed
and settled place in the profession for
which have prepared myself. | have
had large and lucrative practice
in the cities where | have resided,
but the adverse circumstances with
which | have had to contend have
kept me moring from place TO place,
and have made it impossible for me to
reaiiz the measure of success wi icl
IL seemed to me l might reasonably ex-
pect. After having been driven from
city 20 city for space of seven years,
during which tine l repeatedly un-
derwent the hardships and difficulties
which are attendant upon the upbuild-
Ing OF a business among strangers, IL
Mt length seemed TO me that | could
endure it no longer. ! therefore re-
.oved to take the step which Gu mi
mated in the legal proceedings. The
grounCs for these proceedings were
sustained by testimony of the most
reputable and respectable people in
the different cities where ] have re.
sided. The court, concedingthe that
charges were sustained (aS | under
s.ood hlm) yet fer rC asons which, nc,
doubt seemed 20 hila sufficient,
thought it would he. better not TO
grant the separation, II is useless b
AisenSs this Now. The case will b.
appealed, All | desire TO say is this;
lhat since have been in Guthrie
there has been a repetition of the same
thing that has taken place in other
cities W here have resided. ! have
Deen subjected to the same charges
/ have been assailet through the news
papers, ! have been scandalized, and
my name made a byworl and re-
pruach Since have been here have
sought to be a gentleman at all times,
and il have not succeeded II has net
be,n through any lack Of de-
sire to succeed. ! have had
the respect and confidence OF
the peopie wherever Ihave lived.
Not a single witness was produced
against me on the trial outside of the
Immediate relatives of the defendant,
Whose evidence WAS utterly contradict
ed by letters written to me by them. NO
outside witness could be found to tes-
tify against me, although more than
CITY letters las am informed) were
written TO persons who the defendant
SAID would testify against me, not a
single response was received from any
Of the persons addressed. have met
with o fair measure of professional
success since | have been In Guthrie,
aud | have tried TO merit, the respect
and confidence of the people here.
My situation is unpleasant, but il Il
not nng more so than IL has been IN
other places where have lived fol
che past seven years II therefore
seems 10 make little difference where
may iix my abode.
