charges or insinuations against me.

directly nor indirectly received one penny
Of the states money.
The whole thing goes to show that Mr.
Watson, having a grudge against me,
takes this method to attack me in the
press.
He knows that he was deliberately mis-
representing me, and he has not, neither
will he, present any evidence to prove his
insinuations. He will, no doubt, ask me
to prove that they are not true, but he
has brought the case, he has selected the
public for a jury, he is the prosecuting
attorney, now let him produce the evil
dence or stand branded as a common liar
and scoundrel
Every insinuation made against me by
Mr.. Watson is without foundation, was
conceived in malice, Is false, and IL born
from a vile, jealous, and for some reason,
a poisoned and shattered mind.
