amination), had partially answered,
when DR.. Kilgo objected, his objection
| was sustained, and this stopped the an
swer, as his objections stopped about
everything. i then said to DR.. Creecy,
in the presence of the Board. that il
the Board desired it, would give what
| heard from gentlemen in Spartanburg
and their names. DR.. Kilgo oh,
jected, the objection was sustained and
the evidence ruled out. | would have
answered DR.. Creecy's question that DR..
Kilgo was charged generally with having
| by intrigue with two or three others
tried to displace DIR. Carlisle as President
of WOffOrd College and get the place for
| himself, and that he was also charged
with like conduct to obtain the presidency
of the Columbia Female College and that
he came near splitting the church to
pieces by his intrigue and wire-pulling. l
told the Board that in law Il mans gem
eral character was the reputation he bore
among those who knew him, and what
the people generally, who knew him, said
about him, and l said only knew DR..
Kilgo's character in this legal way.
Now l ask the public to judge between
| DR.. KilgO and myself:
Did he tell the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth when he pre-
| tended to quote my evidence? Has he
not done me wilful wrong in having so
many of his speeches printed and scat
tered abroad, with his false statements
of my evidence in those speeches? Why
should he, in his speech suppress that lit
| tie of my evidence which was admittedly
against him? Take my evidence as taken
down by his own stenographer, and place
it alongside of his statement of my evil
dence in his speech and see how | have
been misrepresented by him. Why DR..
| Kilgo did not wish to hear any evidence
coming from Spantanburg is matter that
he perhaps understands better than any
one else, for that had been his home.
DR.. KiIgo put in the evidence Of H. j.
| bass as to what DR.. Carlyle, at Spartan
burg, said complimentary of him four
years ago, and the evidence of his stenog-
rapher of something DR.. Carlyle said
recently not unfavOrable to him, but
when Mr.. Beckwith was asked
what DR.. Carlyle said to him. DR.. Kilgo
objected and had it ruled out, and when
was asked what certain gentlemen
said about him DIR. KilgO objected and
the evidence was ruled out again. The
rule worked only one way.
| DR.. Kilgo said when Directing to state
ments made to Mr.. Beckwith by promi-
nent men of South Carolina, that any
persons who would make statements
about HIM and not come up and testify
to them, were liars. The Doctor for
gets that he himself did not go on the
stand and deny a single charge against
him, or give any evidence whatever ex-
cept in his speech.
When the people of North Caroling
understand that he denounces men who
did not go on the stand and testify, and
yet attempted to rule out all the evidence
against some of those who did, and
| would not himself go on the stand tC
| give evidence, but waited to testify rs
| to matters in his speech so as to avoid 3
cross-examination, then they will compre
bend, to some extent, what manner OF
| man he is.
This trial, taken in all its details, re
| minds one of the beautiful tale told il
