WISH TO ENADE EVIDENCE
AGAINST HIM.

Tho next thing | am called upon to
prove lis the statement that DR.. Kilgo
wished TO evade the evidences | had
against hila. When it is remembered
that | could easily have been given no
tee, there being 4 telephone in this
building. connected with one where |
WAS. and four daily trains cach way.
that no notice WAS given; that if | had
attended and produced evidence the
Board could not have sutained him.
(which he desired SO earnestly that he
threatened to resign if it was not donc)
and that my subsequent request for
information rs to the trial was refused
Il ease has been made on that point for
amy jury. Now. has it been shown that
if opportunity had been given, evidence
could have been offered. which should
have prevented the finding of the com
mlttec that they endorsed DIR. kil"o and
condemned my charges. If ii had been
III evidence then that Dir. Kilyo had
said in CaSWcll that free silver men
ought to have sixteen lashes to the bare
back, could YOU have endorsed that? If
it had been shown as now. that he had
said in Northampton thai the cause of
the depression Walls the laZineSS of the
farmers, and that he made monopoly
and gold standard speeches in Sampson
and Duplin, could You have endorsed
that and denounced my charge. that he
favored the gold standard publicly. rs
unfair? If it had been shown then that
he had denounced graded schools as
dens of vice. and rs ChriStlcSs schools,
could YOU have endorsed him 50 readi-
ly? If it had been shown tina he had
been Il well known wire-puller i'll South
Carolina. and had threatened DR.. Kings
bury with using his wires against him
to his hurt among the Methodist preach
ers. whom he claimed to have at his
back. could You have endorsed that?
Could You have endorsed his state
ment that our ladies could be led any
where by Il consideration? Could YOU
have endorsed those and other things
that could have been shown against
him? If not. then the conclusion is IL
rcsistiblc. he did not want them shown.
and that he wished to cvade their being
shown. for he did not wish to resign. and
the JAS. w. Wilson -Jurmey card in the
Charlotte Observer says he threatened
TO resign unless You did sustain him.
