We hereby certify that We were pres

{. Kilgo in IsoNhoro and heard him use
the following language. The average
woman can be led anywhere with n dia-
fnond ring" The ladies present were So
we're III their condemnation of the state
mcnt and the low estimate placed by
the speaker on the fidelity and constancS
of our women.
The above language of DIR. Kilgo was
published in the next issue Of the Person
county Courier and has never been de-
med so far as we know.
IDA LANSDELL."
Many other ladies have concurred in
his statement.
NOEL Bros, editors of the Courier
confirm the statement as to the publica-
ton Of this language and tina no correc-
ton has ever been asked. The paper
signed by parties Of high character that
they heard the words used and were very
indignant is III my hands and was ex-
cludcd because your appointed Prosecutor
did not think it tended to prove DIR.
Kilgo's Record in North Carolina" or
his 'unfitneSs' which charges you had
requested me to prove. He Ghe prosecu-
tori also objected because the paIer proof
is not in form a deposition. But Mr..
'ouilSdlt lIotIlth liz lIlbuSH the ItittE
| have in my hands that DR.. Kilco did
not wish to be represented at Roxboro,
Hamer and Madison cat which points
this and two subsequent pieces Of evil
dence We're taken and rs the only OBJ
ject Of Il deposition is that the other
party may be present | told him | would
not go through the form Of again taking
these affidavitS. The correspondence is
present. / did not suspect that Or. Kilga
who has ~strenuously insisted that thia
was not a technical jury. and hence that
witnesses before you must not be sworn,
the stenographer (his own should not
be sworn, the jurors unSWorn and hence
that YOU should hold that those jurors
who have voted to endorse DIR. kilgo
heretofore and in recent District Con
fercnccs are competent to sit did not
suspect that when we got to evidence OF
his public u~ttcranceS, going to prove his
Record in North Carolina and his "un-
fitness" he would suddenly become 50
technical that he would object to this evil
dcnce because not strictly in deposition
form. Yet if we had gone on and taken the
same affidavitS over Il second time, he
would not have been represented. In truth
he had nothing to gain by being represent
cd. He knew what the charges were. They
have been published in the press. He

the highly technical objection that he
was not represented in taking an afh
davit, when he said he would not be rep
resented. DIR. Oglcsby, the prosecutor
admits the objection and rules the evil
dcnce incompetent and by Il new techni
cality because the evidence was offered
by me. who was requested by you to
produce the evidence, and not by your
technical Prosecutor. on DIR. kilgo's mo-
ton You refuse to let it 90 on the min

evidence was offered. Or. Kilgo could 90
on the stand. and he owed it to himself
and to this college to 90 on the stand

DO so. Any one who will visit Roxboro
or write there will find that beyond all
dispute, the sentiment and those words
were used by DR.. kilgo on that occa-
