DR.. Atcherley was arrested without
cause or any evidence to substantiate
the Complaint of County Sheriff Jarrett
or the false testimony of Chester Doyle,
wherein he stated in Court that DR.. At
cherlev had threaten to blow the top
of his head with a short gun. This
was utterly false. For if DIR. Atcher,
lev had ever repeated such thing,
Chester Doyle as Deputy High Sheriff,
could have arrested DR. Atcherley then,
and not while DR.. Atcherley was talk
ing to Mr.. Smith at the Advertiser
Office. Mr.. Smith testified that the
arrest of Dr. Atcherlev was a surprise
TO him, and that Chester Doyle and the
Officers made the arrest without any
Complaint made by him or anyone in
the Office jarrett testified that he
made the Complaint against DR.. Atcher-
ley, simply because he believed every
word that the Newspapers said. that
Dr. Atcherley was insane, and he did
not think it was necessary, TO inquire
into the SANITY of DR.. Atcherley before
he swore to the COMPLAINT, Chester
Doyle testified, that he caused the ar
rest of DR.. Atcherlev without war
rant, because people had complained to
him. DR.. Wayson was the only one
who had complained to him. and that
they had between himself (Doyle) and
DR.. Wayson had arranged to lock At
eherIev up in the Insane Asylum for the
past several months. That they have
continually talked about it. These evil
dences can be found in the hearing Of
the Ateherley Case before the Lunacy
Commissioners.
