A. S. HUMPHREYS
A Lively Communication From
the Nephew Of the Much
Hunted Capitalist.

Editor Advertiser: The answer filed
by Thompson & Watson in which they
try to show that my uncle should be
robbed of all that he has left is the
greatest piece of gall that was ever
written Mr.. Humphreys tries to show
that he has stood by my uncle and that
my mother and I have tried to rob him.
This is as wicked as his own wicked
heart. There is no excuse for his state
ment; he knows that he tells an un-
truth. When my uncle had given his
confidence to an unscrupulous scoundrel
bv the name of Crandell, my mother
and I with the assistance of Capt. King
stood in the way to stop his plan 10
rob my uncle. and after hard fight IN
court the suit which my mother brought
in the name of my uncle was decided
in my mothers favor. In this suit my
mother got but little If any help from
the Ellis heirs. All my mother got Tor
saving the property for my uncle was
abuse and the bitter disappointment OF
seeing her brother turned against her
by the evil influence of the Ellis chill
dren. just as Mr.. Humphreys woulo
turn the community against her now py
his lies. When my mother had every
thing fixed and the business OF my un-
Gle was in the hands of good man.
Mr.. J. o. Carter, Mr.. Humphreys sent
for my uncle and told him that he was
being robbed and that he could have
Mr.. Carter discharged il my uncle
would only give him his case. My un-
Gle listened to his bad advice ana
brought suit and the court held that
my uncle could have the management
of his property if he wanted. For TINS
Mr.. Humphreys charged him $4,000 ana
had my uncle pay another lawyer whom
he hired $500 more. This is the-skino
of man Mr.. Humphreys is. Then When
Mr.. Humphreys had set my Uncle
against my mother and myself by ms
lies and made it so that we could not
advise him, my uncle was induced TO
give a mortgage to Y. Ahin for s55,0oO
for which he never got cent. AS soon
as we found this out my mother
brought suit again in my uncle's name
and procured the cancellation OF this
mortgage and at the same time brought
suit to have my uncle put under guar
dianship, because we were afraid that
these bad people would finally ruin him,
as they always made my uncle feel
that his sister, my mother. was his
enemy, whereas if it had not been for
what we did he, in all probability
would not have a penny left today, IN
case he had not realized in time to save
himself. that he was being fooled by
such men as Humphreys. But this Is
not the worst When the 0. r. & L.
Co. wanted to buy the reef property un-
der the option in their lease, the trustee
of NV uncle. the Bishop of Panopols.
refused to sign the deed and the Ellis
heirs retained Mr. Humphreys to defend
the suit and he charged my uncle for
this work $500, although he knew, as
he says in his answer filed the other
day that there could be no defense
TO the suit He also appeared IN the
suit in which my mother tried again
TO have my uncle put under guardian
ship, as it appeared as though these
bad people, such as Mr.. Humphreys
Iand Ellises, had him completely under
their influence. But thank God my un-
Gle found them out at last. When he
was about to get his s1O5,e0O for his
reef property the Ellises demanded
$4,000 each, of. this money, making
