Special to The Age-Herald.

ppeclal 10 The ASe-defalu.
 Montgomery, Feb. 2-David Lloyd, of Selma, an uncle of Barlow Lloyd, the newspaper writer, who was killed by John Gafford near Greenville last summer, has made public today letter which he claims to have received from Mrs. Kate Massie- Miller, Gafford's sister, three days after the commission of the crime. The letter, which is dated Aug. 28, purports to be signed by Mrs. Miller, and exhonorates Lloyd from the charge of intimacy with her. The letter is especially interesting, in view of the fact that Mrs. Miller has recently made affidavit that she and Bar tow Lloyd had been intimate. MT. Lloyd claims he would not have made the letter public had the recent affidavits not been made by Mrs. Miller.
 A reporter this morning showed the let ter to the prisoner Gafford, who is in jail here. The condemned man read 1t, heaved a sigh and remarked:
 Well I have only to say that she wrote what she knew to be false. She, of her own volition, while in conversation with me on the train en route from Green vile, admitted what I have all along con- tended, and furthermore said that had I been sentenced to life Imprisonment she would have let me serve it out rather than divulge what meant shame and eternal disgrace to her. She was &C., tuated in this statement by a desire to shield her own name"
 ''Is it true that you and Lloyd had diff ficulty in early childhood, as alleged?
 Explains the Difficulty
 'I can readily explain the only trouble I ever had with Lloyd prior to his death. About nineteen years ago I passed the home of Lloyd's father while he was whip ping his wife. Barlow Lloyd was not at home. I went in and gave the old man humping for beating his wife. Some time afterward Lloyd and I met on the Lloyd said to me: Well, I suppose we have both been expecting difficulty for some time.' I replied: I don't know. I haven't thought or cared anything about it as for myself. Lloyd said: You only did what I wanted somebody to do long ago; come let's have a drink.
 q consented, and we repaired to the near est saloon. That was the first and only trouble I ever had with Lloyd, if you call that trouble"
 What hope have you of getting a new trial from the supreme court?"
 "I have not allowed myself to build up any hopes in that connection, lest be dis appointed. It is always the best to pre- pare for the worst and have disappoint- ment, if there is any to be, come the other way. My sister, without my solicitation or knowledge whatever, made the affidavit on which I base my hope of getting a new trial. If | am to hang, let me die. I can brave 1t with the consciousness of knowing that I did the right thing once in my life. It is the first time in ten years that I have been in the right, and I have nothing to fear in consequence"

GEM WHEELfR l{1ER RANLS Editor of the Alabama Courier,
 a Weekly Newspaper. C0WARDLY ACCUSATIONS Contained in Washington Special Against the General and Some Alabama Ladies at
 the Bottom of the Affair.
specIal to rhs .Age-Herald.


 Decatur, Feb. 24.-The congressional cam paign in the Eighth district has had it's interesting points, but decidedly the most sensational feature has been brought about by 8 scurrilous attack on Gen. Wheeler, which was printed under a Washington date line in the columns of the Alabama Courier, the supposed organ of democracy in Limestone county. The Courier is ed- tied by Robert M Rawls, and has let no sort of opportunity slip by to inJure the chances of the present representative TOT renomination.
 The last attack contained some very caustic remarks, among them being an al- legation that the little warrior pocketed several hundred dollars clerk hire month- ly Gen. Wheeler was not the only object of attack, and well known former Ala bama family, now residing in Washington, were put in range of the writer's dirty pen. It is claimed that this family is com posed of a widowed mother and several daughters, whose honor is absolutely un- sullied.
 Gen. Wheeler has made a most vigorous, yet manly, reply to this infamous docu- ment. On the point of clerk hire, he says
 ''This is a falsehood, and any intimation in the letter that my son ever received a single cent as clerk of a committee, or as my clerk, is also absolutely false The rent of my office and all of these sala- ries, with the exception of the $l00 per month, are paid out of my private means.
 The general was particularly vigorous in refuting the cowardly insinuations against the Alabama family who have neither husband nor father to defend them. He says:
 "This family consists of the widow of a distinguished citizen of Alabama and her daughters, all of whom are ladies of re- fnement. The insinuations to the

Special to The Age-Herald. Montgomery, Feb. 24-Assitant Examiner Fosters report on the books and accounts of A. J. Esslinger, ex-tax collector of Mad ison county, shows that he failed to include the raises of tax valuations during the year 1893, and Is consequently due the state Tor this amount. The report is as follows:
 ''I find that in 1898 the assessor, by some error, failed to include the raises of that year in the final sum-up of recapitulation of the years assessment. These raises were made by the board of county commissioners and were placed upon the assessment books in pencil, but were regularly carried for ward to the collectors abstract, made by bhe judge of probate, and were collected by the collector. They amount to a yalua. tfon of $41 ,1S9.
 MT. Esslinger Is therefore due the state and county taxes on this amount, as below specified
 MT. Esslinger states under oath that he paid both the state and county all that was demanded of him on this years assess ment, and until this investigation was made was under the impression that all proper charges against him had been made. He further states that he now stands ready to make good all that the state and county may have lost by this error The recapitu- lation shows:

contrary contained in the letter are false.
 Gen. Wheeler boldly signs hisc name, and concludes with the following emphatic language:
 ''Whoever this hidden miscreant and vile defamer of women may be. l denounce him as unworthy the association Of hon orable men, and T demand of you his name; and in this demand I know I am sustained and upheld by every man and woman in the state, oand I confidently add by every man and woman in the southern states" B9a
 The friends of Gen. Wheeler assert that Rawls, the editor of the Courier, has fur nished a name, but no such person could be found in Washington at the address given. It is claimed that the name is ficti- tious and that now the onus of the dis gusting and defamatory letter is upon Rawls. Some exciting developments may ensue, as the general evidently has his fighting clothes on, and Is out to defend his reputation and those of innocent wo- men against nasty, underhanded political attacks.
