CHARLESTON, w, VA, January IL
Col. Ashby w. Johnson, late Assistant
Adjutant General, feels that the brief
dispatch sent TO the Register few days
ago concerning his resignation, was
misleading and did him injustice He
denies that he changed the military
records. The facts in detail are these:
Col. Johnson did the clerical work in
getting uD the Adjutant GEN
ersl's report TO the Governor.
In that part OF the report which
dealt with the calling out OF the State
troops to Quell the riots OF the striking
coal miners, 1t was deemed important
that the Adjutant.GeneraPs report
should contain the kilograms to the
Governor upon which he predicated his
action in calling out the militia. These
telegrams were, first, from the respect
i've sheriffs Of the counties In which
these troubles existed; second, from
the managers OF the coal mines; third,
from prominent dlsinterested citizens
of the. community who were suffering
from the disorder, and, fourth,
from the persona! representatives
OF the chief executive sent
out by him to make thorough investisa-
tion of all the facts and circumstances
of the troubles, in order that no mis-
take be made in calling out the State
troops, and that it should not be done
unless such action was shown to be en-
tirely justi6able.
Colonel Johnson in making mp
the Adjutant Generals report, did
not deem these telegrams purely
military matters and thought they
should not go into the report. dc was
directed, nevertheless, TO put them in,
Col. Johnson disobeyed the order, how
ever, and Gov. MacCorkle was natur-
aliy veXed when the printed report OF
the Adjutaut General came TO him with
these kilograms omitted. The changing
of the record consisted only in putting
the name OF the AdjUtant General TO a
telegram as it appeared in the printed
report, which had been sent out and
signed by the Governor.
