The Crittenden record. [volume] (Marion, Ky.) 1904-1907, 1905-10-13
AN OPPORTUNITY
GIVEN TOWERY
To Speak Again and Name
His Man
HE Is ALSO ASKED TO State
Why 0. N. James, "The First Man,"
So Blandly Let q Golden Moment
Pass Wherein He Gould
HE IS ALSO ASKED TO State
HAVE STOPPED JURY and EXPENSE

In this weeks Crittenden Press
appears an article signed by Judge
Towery and in which an effort is made
to vindicate some Democrats whom he
claims as his friends. The petition in
the suit published in The RECORD was
based on the certificate concerning the
Towery survey Of the land in question.
Mr.. Towery signed the County Survey
ors name to the certificate. The in
formation that the certificate had been
signed by Towery was obtained from
the Auditor of the State. 1t seems
strange that if some Republican was
the instigator Of the indictment that
the information as to the facts in the
case had to come from the Democrats.
Now the truth is the Democrats we're
in control Of the majority Of the grand
jury which found the indictment as well
as the entire court.
Towery says: 81 say further that o.
NJ. James was the first man to inform
me that there was an effort being
made at the beginningiof aforesaid grand
jury to have me indicted and this was
before the primary, when he offered his
assistance to me, not knowing whether
would be the nominee or not, and !
gladly accepted the same, and he would
have appeared in the court as my at
torney, had | been nominated in the
primary"
IL feel II IS proper TO make the fur
ther statement that know the parties
who did bring about the indictment
and who were enmies within my own
party.
Now Judge Towery, IL Mr.. o. NJ.
James knew what you say he did why
did he not prevent such an Indictment
after you had informed him Of the
facts in the case and that there was
nothing in III Every one knows that
Ollie could then and there have informed
the court Of such a outrage that was
about TO beiperpetrated upon his friend
and the court undoubtedly would not
have permitted his grand jury TO be
used for the purpose Of prosecuting an
innocent person. He could have influ-
enced by honorable persusaion in this
matter just as easy before the indiet-
ment was fonnd as after wards.
Such rot is too silly for an intelligent
person to believe.
Judge Towery, II you know who
had you indicted you owe Il 10 the
public 10 tell who he is. DO not wait
until eve Of the election 10 do so. That
would be wrong and cowardly. II you
are in favor Of fair play you will give
IN, party a rcasonble opportunity TO
answer your accusation. We say,
that Democrats had you indicted, and
that you are now being duped by them
in order that they may advance the IN
tercsts Of your Democratic son-in-law
in the race for county attorney.
The Crittendcn Press claims that the
Democrats are sore because the Re
publicans fail 10 rcnominate Towery FOR
county Judge. One reason Is because
the Republican party believes IN
majority rule. and a majority OF the
Republicans saw proper TO nominate
another person for that place. The ef-
forts Of the Press TO try 70 persuade
persons 10 vote for candidates who are
In favor Of Goebelism, stuthing ballots.
packing juries. having honest men,
who are in favor Of fair elections, as
saultcd and elubbed, because Judge
Towery was defeated for denomination,
will prove n miserable failure.
