TUESDAY EVENING, DEC %, 1897.
GEN. HUNDLEY's REPLY.


Gen. George J. Hundley, who defend
ed Grand Commander James N. Stubbs
in the recent history committee scandal
investigation, prints a letter in reply to
a recent one from Col. John Cussops,
who had a good deal to do with Drlng-
ing about the investigation, in which
he sharply criticises the course OF Col.
Cnssops and his associates. He ex-
presses his opinion quite freely OF the
limitations placed upon the inquiry by
the committee, speaks of the whole
matter as the cruel persecution OF Col,
Stubs, arraigps Col. Cussons and
Others for not taking up the matter OF
the Womack checks, OF which they
then had possession. before electing
Stubs to the Office OF Grand Command
or. only aftefward to try and knock
him down and blast his character, and
in conclusion says:
ssLet me remind him that human
law, as it now exists in free and clvlliz
ed communities, is the result OF the
wisdom of all ages that have passed
since men emerged from the condition
OF ShVdStS, ebO en@U nu
such as requiring men who come into
courts of equity to have clean hands,
requiring proof that crime has been
committed before convicting any man
of committing the crime, and allowing
evidence to throw light on the motives
of the prosecutor, are the fruits OF
glorious civilization baskiug in the di-
vine light of christianity, and do inif
lite honor to human kind in their d.
generate state. Even court-martials,
save that anomalous thing called
'drumhead court MARTIAL never try
any man without furnishing him with
formal charges and specifications, and
only savages hide in ambush fer
their enemies and butcher them
without mercy"

comrade. but i am thinking most OF tne
bitter tears Of his noble wife and daugh-
ters. and Of his manly sons, whose hearts
have been wrung by this dreadful trouble
of the husband and father. With these
words, my duty Is done, and l never
discharged one with more satisfaction, or
with a clearer conscience.
