attempt 10 impeach, and your description
was that the place was, as YOU measured on
your hand, as long as your three fingers
next your thumb and rs broad as all three
of them, making the place, un the most con-
servative estimation of your own statement.
inches broad and from 3 to / inches long,
and tie Justice swore that the place that he
saw, and it is reasonable to suppose that the
same place was shown him that was Bill, as
lie located it about the same place; was not
larger than quarter, and looked a blush
hue, nothing that he deemed sufficient to
ISSUE warrant on. And the other man,
and he didn't hear Billy's nor the Justices
statement, either, stated tina, the place was
about the size of a quarter or less. Now
Billy, when you was So pleasantly referring
to the Chenowe;h boys evidence, why didn't
you refer to your own noble effort of trying
t. fastan stigma and disgrace upon the fair
name of one that, with all your dastardly
designs and good will to smirch, is above
reproach. The Chenow"th boys evidence
was no balm in Guillead for the prosecution
He give straightforward and manly evil
dence, exonerating his teacher, the defend
ant.
As for the remainder of the evidence Civ
en-, 1t was met, Billy, just like yours was, if
you remember. Now, in conclusion ON this
point, we will produce a petition, verbatun,
signed 10y the patrons OF the Frozen run
school, sub dist, No. 8, expressing of theil
opinion of Rilly's crowd, in their preferring
charges against Lucy Reip, which was filed
with LIE Is. Of L. on the day of the trial.
signed 10y all the patrons of the school ex-
cept five families, and two of these five were
trustees, and outspoken in their deuuncia-
ton of Billy's crowd in their onslaught on
sal teacher, and satisfied with her AS Il
teacher.
Following is the petition:
State of West Virginia,
Calhoun county, to-wit:
We, the undersigned patrons of the Frozen
ran school, sub district No. e, of Washing
ton district, county and State aforesaid.
humbly ask the Honorable Board OF Educa
ton to allow Lucy Reip to continue teach
ing our school until her time expires for
following reasons:
| First, we are we'll satisfied with her school
she is teaching and believe the scholars
! like her teacher. We believe. from
the number OF grade she holds and from
personal knowledge and from the scholars
talk, her to be competent in every respect to
govern and control our school
Secondly, we believe the charges brought
against her by Ira 6. Reip and others that
are now on file with your Sec'y., are unjust
and uncalled for, Now gentlemen, we hope
YOU will give this petition due consideration
and give Lucy Reip and all concerned sucI
advice and instructions as the law directs
for the further management Of our school.

The reason why we quote this petition i
that those who are not versant with the tru
facts can see how the true facts are in com
, pariSon with the star witness and prosecut
ing attorney.
Bill Taylors professions of the masses O
: the aforesaid sub district No. g., are at least
; in accord with his dictutorial desires; whicI
we think, will hold out sufficiently through
out Washington district to give us the usua
majority.
And besides, Bill Taylor isn't a residen
of sub district number 6, but in his lordI
majesty, steps over out of his own sub di,
trict, which is No. ~. and assumes the roll
of star witness, prosecuting attorney AM
critic. Because the Il. Of +. doesn't periur
} itself to please Billy's Satanic Majesty
5 develish whims he opens his mouth am
hollows himself to death like Il cuckoo.
And now in conclusion, as Billy SAYS: ''w
: have heard the jack ass bray. the lion roa
and the wrong door mourn" whom, we pre-
sumo from his Biblical quotation in the on
set of his article, are himself and people, 70
! he says that "when the wicked rule. In
, people mourn"
