DEFENDANTS REPLY.
Mr.. sayre's Answer in Suit OF Miss
Maud Porter.

In suit IN equity recently instituted by
Miss Maud T. Porter against Adolph Mo
nell Sayre, involving certain stock trans
actions. the defendant, through Attorneys
Carlisle and Johnson, late yesterday after
noon placed ON record his answer to the
plaintiffs bill. Miss Porter. in substance.
alleged that she had placed IN the hands
OF Mr.. Sayre for investment the sum Of
$2,650. and although he had reported enor-
nous earnings it had been impossible for
her to secure an accounting or the return
Of the original sum turned over to him.
Mr.. Sayre's answer is of considerable
length, and describes in the most minute
detail various stock transactions. The first
sum placed in his hands, he says, was $50,
given him by William B. LIE Duo, with the
request that he invest 1t for Mrs. LIE Due.
He made small profit, but did not learn
until after the success that the $50 did not
belong to Mrs. LIE Due, but to Miss Por-
ter. Mrs. LIE Due. it Is explained was to
receive olfe-fifth of the profits. Owing 20
MS friendship for the LIE Dues, says the de-
PENDANT, he later accepted other money
from Miss Porter to invest with the I'M
ders landing that the transactions were to
continue until the LIST of next July. 1t is
admitted that he gave notice that large
profits had been realized and that he re-
ceived request from Miss Porter for the
withdrawal of the original 81. $50; but, he
states, he explained that a sale of the
stocks held by him at that time would be
dlsadvantageous and unwise
In view of the fact that he has used of
MS own money $4,000 for Miss Porter's
cement, Mr.. Sayre maintains that she had
in which the money was invested. A note
from Miss Porter's attorney requesting an
accounting was received by Mr. Sayre,
tnough not read by him. he says, until after
the filing of her suit N0''
IN conclusion, Mr.. Sayre declares that. he
Is ready and willing at all times to nav
M.ss forter the amount due her, but. he
w el IN view or all the circumstances
the court should dismiss her bill in enIftv
against him. ~ edut'S

Some Plain Speaking From a South
ern Standpoint.


To the Editor of The Washington Star:
Allow a southern man a few remarks in
regard to the south's way of looking at
things. The Star has been saying some
very hard words about the Georgians burn
ing negro. The south replies that it will
kill negro or white man either every time
be trespasses upon a southern home. 1t
most emphatically will not accept the
northern plan of assuaging personal house
hold honor in civil courts by a financial
plaster. For two or three years the people
have been Systematically whipped into
fury by the northern press until now they
are in a blOodthirSty condition and will
kill on the least provocation. The south arn
people have long memories. They have only
to look to the files of the northern papers
Immediately preceding the civil to
find identicaily the same arguments and
same charges made against the south that
was made against the Spaniards in Cuba,
word for word, calumny for calumny. You
have inaugurated a murderOus policy
against an inoffensve people in the far
east, evidently for political effect. We have
instituted the same policy against another
people for home protection, and we intend
10 carry it out. We kill to protect our wo-
men, and glory in it, if you want it put that
way. You kill for political effect and en-
dcaVor to dsny it. The north is perfectly
willing tc Join fellowship with the south
if the south will allow it to attend to the
business of the south and dictate its morals
and manners. l speak the sentiments of
nine-tenths of the south when 1 say that
we have as much right to kill a negro as
you have. A negro was burned to death in
Georgia, and all Yankeedom bowls. A man
burned his wife to death in Pennsylvania
the other day and not word is heard of
the uncivilized condition of affairs there.
