ing the assault upon him, declaring
that he had been misinformed and
held Colonel Graves responsible for
articles about him published in the
Georgian. Colonel Graves, however,
declined to discuss the matter with
Crutchfield, further than to say that
the attack was unprovoked and cow
ardly,' and that putting aside all per-
sonal consideration, he owed it as
a duty to society to appear in court
against him.
Colonel Graves related the circum-
stances of the attack, stating that he
was walking down the street with
Walter P. Andrews, when, without
warning, he was felled to his knees
by blow delivered with great force

sible for it."
