Comptroller Dibrell Says the
State is Loser and Cox
the Beneficiary.
State Senator Albert G. Ewing Gets Let
ter From the Comptroller Exposing
the Whole NauseOuS Affair
From the Beginning.
Special to The Commercial Appeal


Covington, Tenn, Feb. 1S.-The
Tennessee Lancet, a Nashville publi-
cation, recently launched, in its cur-
rent issue, contains copies of corre-
spondence between Senator A. G.
Ewing, Jr., and Comptroller Dibrell
relative to the celebrated Cox Poindex-
ter matter, which was investigated by
the legislature of 1899, and which has
bten one of the chief incidents in the
present gubernatorial campaign. Mr..
Poindexter is trustee of this county,
and no man in the county has more of
the peoples confidence than he, as is
evidenced by his repeated election to
the office he now holds, and which he
has held for a number of years. Gov
ernor Cox is charged in the legislative
report with having collected money
from Mr.. Poindexter, deducting fee
of 10 per cent. and charging Mr.. Poin-
dexter up on the books of the comp
troller as a delinquent. This record
has been matter of such widespread
nOtoriety in this county for several
yeas that Governor Cox's friends here
advised him not to come here and
enter the lists against General Patter-
son, but to throw his strength-if he
had any-to Judge Bond. In the
recent convention the Cox appointees
in Upton voted Solidly for Bond.
The letter of Senator Ewing asks for
information. He wants to know if Cox
has paid into the state treasury money
that the Legislative committee said he
owed the state. Mr.. Dibrell answers
that he has not, that Mr.. Poindexter
has not paid it, and that the account is
still on the books. The whole nau-
seous record in the case can be obtained
from the following report and from the
correspondence above referred to.
The following is the report of the
the legislative committee which, il
1899, investigated the controversy be-
tween @. G, Poindexter, trustee ol
Upton county, and John l. Cox, reve
nue. agent, said report being signed by
James Taylor, chairman, and Alex W
Chambliss on the part Of the state
and r. H. Harvey, r. Il. Green ant

In Re, G. @. Poindexter :.

"In Re, G. G. Poindexter:
"As to the controversy between G. G.
Poindexter, trustee of Upton county,
and John /. Cox, a number Of wit
nesses were examined and dispositions
were taken, and we report as follows:
~On September 2j, 1897, John I.
Cox was at Gown gton, and went into
the Office of q. @. Poindexter and told
him that he was revenue agent and
would bring to the comptroller any
money which Mr.. Poindexter might be
ready to send, and that he would re-
.ceipt Mr.. Poin1exter for the same;
thereupon Mr.. Poindexter paid to Mr..
Cox 1850 on state revenues for 1896, for
hich amount Mr.. Cox executed to
him receipt. Some mistake was made
by the county court clerk in certifying
the amount of state revenue for Upton
county for 1896 to the comptroller, and
Mr.. Poindexter states that he made
frequent applications to the comptroller
to get statement of the amount due
on state revenue for 1896, in order that
be might make final settlement, but the
comptroller was unable to furnish him
with said statement.
"On February %, 1898, Mr.. Cox was
in Mr.. Poindexter's office, and had
with him statement, which he claimed
was correct statement of the tax
aggregate for 1896, and credits on same,
and this statement showed balance
due of $1S5.29, and on that day MIR.
Poindexter gave to Mr.. Cox check in
full for said balance, $1sj.93, and Mr.
Cox retained IS per cent. of the $35(
and of the $lS5. 90 without the knowl
edge or consent of Mr.. Poindexter
and, according to the comptroller
books, this left Mr.. Poindexter~iI
default on the tax of 1896 Mr.
Cox admitted before the committe,
that Mr.. Poindexter was not liabl
for, and not to pay, any commits
sions on the taxes for 1896, and that h
had intended to give Mr.. Poipdexte
full credit for the $3.50 and for th
