Raleigh. n. c.. Jan. 1T was reported
to-day that Representative Blackburn was
in the State and had been arrested, but
IL is learned tonight that his whereabouts
is unknown either TO Gov. Glenn or his
counsel. The matter which the governor
charges is libelous is publication given
out by Blackburn in Washington last
Saturday, and published in Sunday papers
in the State. purporting to be letter to
Representative-elect r. n Hackett. Of
the Eighth district. notifying him of his
purpose TO contest the election
In this letter it IS charged among other
things that Gov. Glenn and Hackett en-
tered into an agreement with the Ameri-
can Book Company whereby the governor
was 10 procure the adoption Of books Of
the company by the public schools of the
State. and that Hackett, as counsel for
the company. was TO use his influence To
the same enc. and that In return for the
service the American Book Company was
TO contribute "a large sum Of money to
procure the defeat of Blackburn, and that
the money was so contributed and so
used.
This story is denied in every particular
by Gov. Glenn. Representative-eIect
Hackett, and the State agent Of the
American Book Company Gov Glenn
to-day asserted his intention TO prosecute
Blackburn for criminal libel in the courts
OF the State, and 10 have him arrested
as soon rs he comes within the jurisdic-
ton Of the courts.
Mr.. Hackett tonight denounced Black
burn in most unmeasured terms, using
the words lying scoundrel," and others
equally strong.
