 suit fhaf followed. General Clanton threw himself into the case with ail tha yfaOr for which he was noted. and his activity in conducting the suit and the characteristic ffankness of his ut- terances excited the bitter eninity of his opponents Indeed, 1t Is said that ,yenerai Cianton and some of his friends entertained the belief that they had determined to get rid of him.
 Tn September, 1872, he went to Knox, vile. Tenn, to take part in the pro- ceedines of the United States Court in Sthe case of the railroad. During the
 proeress of the case he was introduced nY, the street one afternoon to Col David Nelson. who had been an oficer
