what | think were some uncalled for
and unjust sneers at me, that perhaps

Your filings at me as being IAN Of

etc were certainly uncalled for and
could have been prompted only by
malice. That they were utterly un-
true, you certainly know or ought to
have known. By asking any reputable
member Of your church you could
have learned that l, perhaps more than
any other, am the one lawyer in this
town to whom your filings would not
apply. They would have told you
that | have never sought Office. l
have been here more than ten years
and have never been a candidate for
Office but once and that was an Office
without pay or salary. l am now
nearly fifty-two years old and never
was a candidate for Office but the once

Then why did you make the charge?
Upon what was it based? Did your
evangelist, Winston, have as much
foundation for his charges against the
virtue and chastity Of the young
womanhood of this town as you did
for this? Was it because you felt SO
much spleen that you must impugn
