BLACKBURN REPUDIATES.
Saws Attack on Governor Was For
gery If Bearing His Name.

RALEIGH, N c., January 3-Congress-
man E. Spencer Blackburn, steps looking
to whose arrest were taken yesterday by
Governor Glenn, who announced his In
tention Of instituting a prosecution on a
charge of criminal libel, today repudiated
the letter which aroused the governors Ire.
This letter. purporting to be addressed
to Congressman-elect Richard n. Hackett,
whose election Blackburn is contesting,
charged the governor with being inter-
ested in a Schoolbook deal last year. Black
burn now says If 1t purported to be signed
by him il is a forgery, and he threatens
to prosecute the papers publishing 1t.
Governor Glenn found yesterday that
Congressman Blackburn was in Greensboro
and notified State Solicitor Brooks TO have
him arrested and to secure counsel to as
sist in the prosecution. Solicitor Brooks
Immediately went out to look for Black
burn and met him on the street, the con-
gresham coming up and saying he heard
he was TO be arrested and wanted TO say
that he not the right man; that he
was innocent and had not written the
letter
The solicitor notified the governor over
the telephone, and the governor replied
that If Blackburn would sign affidavit
and have the latter published in the pa
pers which had published the attack upon
him then the criminal prosecution would
be withdrawn. Blackburn, In the presence
of the solicitor and his assistants, signed
the statement that the letter was a for
gerry that he knew nothing about it and
had never heard of the matter until he saw
II published He added that he intended
to sue every paper which had published
the letter This was Mr.. Blackburn's state
ment sent by him to Solicitor Brooks:
THE statement in last Sunday morning 8
papers concerning the notice of my contest
upon Mr.. Hackett and the reflections upon
Governor Glenn is without my AUTHORIZE
ton My notice to him signed by myself
will be sufficient for public scrutiny Thus
far any signature appearing in the papers
purporting to be mine Is forgery. In
the notice of my contest which l have is
sued there will be found no suggestion OF
| corruption on the part of Governor Glenn.
| The notice will speak for itself.

Will Petition Bonaparte.

KNOXVILLE Tenn, January 3.-Attor-
neys for r. b. Oliver and other railroad
contractors under indictment on the charge
of peonage in holding negroes on railroad
construction contracts will petition Attor-
ney General Bonaparte to dismiss the cases.
When the trials occurred here last Mo-
vember Carl Burger was acquitted, but a
mistrial was entered as to the other de-
PENDANTS. The petition to the Attorney
General, 1t is said, will set forth that If a
conviction results 1t will tend to make
negro labor more insubordfnate to whites.
and that If the men are convicted 1t may
influence some contractors to cruelty to
negro laborers.
District Attorney Penland says he will
resist the endeavor to dismiss the case.
The government has twenty negro wit
nesses in custody here, retaining them to
testify
