"Prof. G.. III. Mebane,

u. <. l..
'Supt. Public instruction.:
"Dear Sir: Notwithstanding the
great injustice that has been attempted
and so far perpetrated against me, in
the prosecution in which / was charged
with burning the Presbyterian Manse at
Newton, to relieve you of embarrass-
ment, hereby tender my resignation as
chief in your office. l have appealed the
case, shall no doubt obtain a rehearing,
and hope in the end to obtain what alone
will be just-an acquittal.
1T is not proper, however, that pend
ing the litigation, when the issue appar
emily at least, is still uncertain. that /
should retain position in an office the
incumbent of which might be harshly
criticised on that account | therefore
retire, thanking you for kindness shown
me and continue the fight against my
slanderers and prosecutors.
''Your truly,
u. l.. GRAHAM"
The above was written in response to
request from Mr.. Mebane, as will be
seen from the following letter to Capt
w. I'll. Day, setting forth the reasons
for Graham's retention in office up to the
present time:
Raleigh, n. c.. July IL, 1897.
Capt. w. III. Day, Raleigh, n. c.:
Dear Sir: | have asked Mr.. Graham,
your client and my clerk, for his resigna-
ton.
II have had strong pressure brought
to bear upon me ever since the bill was
found against him. This pressure has
been made, not only by Mr.. Graham's
enemies, but by some of my own best
fria lint 70, hot T ;oht
or influence justice against him and for
the sake of his wife and child, have
given him the benefit of all doubt and
have shown the spirit of charity.
ut is not matter of feeling or SYM
patty. My heart aches for his poor
wife and child. 1t is my own character
and reputation that / must now defend
/ intend to get out of this office with
character, whether / have anything else
or not.
1T is not a question as to whether Mr..
Graham is guilty or not guilty, it is a
question of duty to the State, to the
dignity of my office and to my own
family.
"The court has decided this matter,
whether the decision be correct or not,
is not for me to say; but it is my duty
to have man in my office whose char
acter is not questioned by the court and
by the public at large throughout the
State.
yours very truly,
&c. II. MEBANE,
''Supt. Public instruction"
Mr.. Graham was not found guilty of
arson, but Of a misdemeanor. This pc
culiar verdict was due to the fact that
the bill failed to charge an indictable
offense, either under common law or the
statute. After argument the counsel
for the State admitted that it did not
charge an offense Of common law. but
insisted that it was statutory offense,
under section 1,761 Of The Code. Under
this he was found guilty and fined $500.
