To The Public.

Tome it is acutely painful to feel
called upon to make a statement
through the newspapers with refer
ence to the lamentable suicide of
Miss Prudie Ford. Having, as her
family will testify and as letter,
extracts appearing elsewhere in this
paper, written to her parents two
days before her death, will show,
been kind and helpful to her in her
to maintain herself in
school, it is inconceivable to me how
enough vil,Ainy ect n be concentrate
ed in one human heart to prompt its
possessor to make the
statements which have appeared in
the Owensboro Messenger and the
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1906-03-30

wise her to notify her family. She
was then given every assurance that
we were all her friends and were
anxious to help her. She did not,
manifest any marked emotion but
talked to US calmly. She thanked us
for what we had done and said she
would write to her father. Not an
unkind word had been spoken to her
but on the contrary she left my office
with the full assurance that each
of US had done and woulddo all that
we could for her. ~
This is my relation to the unfor-
tionate affair. Since its tragic end
ing feel consciousness of having.
in connection with Mr.. Midkiff,
made substantial efforts to alleviate
her condition before her death. So
far as know we were the only ones
to assist her before her death. In
view of this the nameless villain who
libeled us through the Messenger
and Inquirer has deliberately COM
mitted crime for which there is no
restitution. JAMES M. DEWEEsE.
The above statement of Mr.. De-
Weese states the facts fully excepting
that while Mr.. DeWeese was at the
door, we preached the matter to
Miss Ford and she informed us that
she already knew that Mrs. Collins
and her daughter-in-law were accus'
ing her of theft.
The remainder of the interview is
fully set out in Mr.. DeWeese's state
ment. ERNEST WOODWARD,

Inquirer. Diligent inquiry has fail
ed to reveal his identity. Cold-blood-
ed assassin of character that he is, he
has dared not assume responsibility.
In view of these things, | desire to
make the following statement:
On the evening of March the 10th
at something near 5 o'clock p. m,
Miss Ford came to my office and told
me that on account of sickness in the
family at Mrs. Collins she would
have to have another boarding place,
that she had no money, that her par
ents were not able to pay her board
and that she was very anxious to re-
main in school. Touched by this
fearful story l treasured her as best
/ could ard asked her to remain in
my office while made an effort to
find place where she could pay her
board by light work. This she glad
ly consented to do. | went to the
sheriff. office and told her story and
asked Mr.. Martin if it would be pos
sible for him to take her. At the
time he did not think he would have
the room, then called Mr.. Heavrin
and related the circumstances to him
and he told me that perhaps he
could take her and that he would let
me know the next morning. To
make sure of place for her then
went to see Mrs. j. S. r. Wedding.
She was not at home, | was told by
a Miss Patton. who lives with her.
then stopped Mr.. Alec Barnett on
the street and related the condition
Of the girl to him. He went home
to consult his wife. In short time
called up his residence over the !
phone and talked to Mr.. and Mrs. !
Barnett. They did not make a def /
late answer, but deferred the matter .
Until next morning. | returned to
ny office and told the girl that prob I
IDLY she could get board at Mr..

LIBEL SUITS FILED.
Supt. DeWeese and Co. Attorney
Woodward Filed Complaints
VS.. 0wensboro Papers.

Probably the first libel suits filed
in the Ohio Circuit Court, were filed
late Wednesday afternoon against
the greensboro Messenger and Ow-
ensboro Inquirer by Superintendent
Jas. M. DeWeese and County Attor-
ney +. NJ. Woodward. There are
four suits, one By each plaintiff
against each paper and $1,000 dam
ages is asked for in, each case. The
libels complained of grew out of a
misquotation by these papers of a
letter left to her parents by Miss
Prudie Ford. the girl who drowned
herself in Rough river last Wednes-
day, and alleged libelous editorial
comments by the Greensboro Messcn-
ger about the Ford girls death al
legged to have been intended for and
directed at the plaintiffs.
The petitions are signed by Hon.
H. P. Taylor, Judge j. S. Glenn,
Messrs. M. L. Heavrin and C. M.
Grove attorneys.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1906-03-30

Heavrin's or Mr.. Barnett's, but she
would have to wait until the next
morning to know definitly, but in
any event | would see that she
got a place to board. Further |.
told her that she could go anywhere
she wished for the night and that |
would be responsible for her board
until she secured a place to work.
She then left my Office leaving the
impression on my mind that she was
going to Mrs. Tim Taylor's. On the
next morning she returned to my
office and told me she had secured
board with Oscar Midkiff. After
thanking me she went on to school.
On Wednesday 2lst Mr.. Midkiff
came to my Office and told me of the
charge which Mrs. Collins had called
him to her home and made against
Miss Ford. In justice to the girl we
thought she should know what they
were saying about her. We called
in Mr.. Woodward and talked the
matter over with him. All of us
we're reluctant to mention it to her,
but finally agreed that Mr.. Midkiff
should-bring her to my Office and tell
her what had been said about her in
our presence. Mr.. Midkiff brought
her over at noon. Twas not in the
room for possibly the first two min
utes she was in, being oht in the
court hall talking to Mr.. E. S. How
ard. When | returned Mr.. Midkiff
related to her what had been said
about her by Mrs. Collins. She said
she had not taken anything that was
not hers. Mr.. Woodward then told
her that if from any cause she might
have in her possession any articles
belonging to Mrs. Collins she should
return it. She assured us that she
did not. Mr.. Woodward then told
her that no writ should be issued
against her, but that he would ad-
