have no doubt. will contend that Dr.
Crawford received only such trea tment MS
he deserved at the hands Of this man.
He has tried to argue tho case IN his
questions to witnesses. Tho whole DRIFT
OF his questions has been to show that
Judge Campbell had been subjected TO
an insult. what Insult? Judge Camp
bell says 1t was insinunted that his court
had been bribed by whiskey. I do not
know that the language will permit OF
this construction. But we all know that
st was a chargo-a very serious charge.
| But was 1t true? respectfully submit
that In the prosecution OF this case we
have proven it to be true. l do not share
In the abuse OF DR.. Crawford for his po-
stion in this matter. Not that ] COM
mend man who makes q wanton charge
against man. But hero was q man who
Efhad made charge which hs believed
in his inmost heart to be true. He re-
fused to apologize for the truth and I
admire him for It, He should receive
the admiration and the concentration OF
all good people. Rather than retract the
truth he submitted to this castlgation--
this infamous cowhding. rs vile piece
of work as ever disgraced the old Com
monwealth Of Virginia.
DIR. Crawford was carried to Amherst
by the court over which Judge Camp
bell presided, and he was under the pro-
lection Of the court. Why did not Judge
Campbell protect him and then come TO
Richmond and cowhlde him? No! He
did not dare! For then some other tri-
bunal would have tried him. He would
have gone before Judge Witt OF the Cor
poratlon Court of Richmond. Mo- he
would mt have dared, for then Justice
would have been mcted out to this law
