In the articles in your issue of
the 4th and 5th insts. in regard
to the trial and. Sentence of one
Ralph Higgins / am of the
opinion that you have done me,
the trial justice a great injustice,
and | therefore trust that you
will give me space in your col
umns to put the matter before
the public as it was put before
me.
The facts, as testified to be-
fore me by disinterested parties,
are these:
Frank Bell, II years of age,
and Boyd Chandler a younger
companion, were driving a cow
to the pasture and in doing so
passed by Ben Simmons, Nathan
Simmons; BrosRire Simmons,
Ralph Huggins, Leland Huggins
and Fred Huggins, all of whom.
except Fred Huggins, are as
large or larger than Bell. These
six boys shouted to young Bell
accusing him of the 'unatural
crime," couching their accusation
in language and by signs so vile
and repulsiVe that l as magis-
trate was compelled to exclude
all women and boys under Fl
years of age from the court room,
this language was such as to
make any gentlemen blush and
such as no gentleman would
want to use in the presence of
any decent person. man or Wo-
man. cannot therefore repeat
this language in this communi-
cation, but anyone interested can
find it out by the slightest in
quiry in the vicinity where it
was used and this difficulty took
place, This language was such
as might be expected from a
bowery thug of the lowest type,
if indeed it could be expected at
all, and not from a babe or
one who ''can furnish excellent
character witnesses. To this
accusation Bell and his companion
Chandler, paid no attention, but
upon their return from the pas
ture the boys repeated the vile
charges and young Bell then
told them that their accusation
was lie, whereupon the three
Simmons boys and the two Hug
gins boys Erred and Leland) fell
upon Bell (his companion having
gone to report the matter to
Bells father.) The three Sim
mons boys held young Bell while
Leland Higgins struck Bell with
a leather strapfand Fred Huggins
struck him with piece of timber
33 1-2 inches long, 2 2-3 inches
wide and 1-2 inches thick. (This
piece of timber I now have in
my possession and will send it
up to the higher court. While
this was going on Ralph Higgins
stood near and looked on. Bell
then succeeded in extricating
himself and struck Fred Hug
gins, Leland Higgins continued
all the time to strike Bell with
the strap. When Bell struck
Fred Higgins, Ralph Higgins
then struck Bell on the temple
with sufficient force to stagger
him and break the skin causing
blood to appear on his cheek:
These are the facts as testified
to by Messrs. Will and Neyett
Waters, both grown men OF good
character, who witnessed the
entire difficulty; as well also as
