Will Use Every Effort to Bring At
Ianta Attorney to Trial.
Governor Blease was asked Monday
afternoon by a representative Of the
Daily Record:
In Col. Il. B. Felder's open letter,
are the two letters signed Cole, yours.
or are they forgeries by Col. Felder?'
Governor Blease said: II do not
care to say anything as to such stuff
emanating from a man that l have
made a requisition for, to answer to
corrupt practices in attempting to
bribe the former state officials of this
state. l shall not be diverted from my
purpose to bring him to justice. The
public will soon learn how foolish, ma
Iicious and foul have been and are the
charges made against me my such per-
sons and their friends, and will see
how they will be confounded in their
own filth. Let them go on. The COM
mission will continue their work OF in
vestigation, and 1 will do my best to
have Fielder answer for the violation
of our law and his friends here will
find that there is day Of reckoning
to campaign funds in the primary Tor
II think what 1 have just said is
sufficient at this time."-Columbia
Record, Monday.
Interview With Hub Evans.
The following is from the Green
vile News Of this morning, published
under a Columbia date line:
H. H. Evans, the former chairman
of the dispensary board Of the direc-
tors was here this afternoon and In re-
sponse to the question: Have you
seen Felder's article about Governor
bIease and what have you to say
about It," made the following state
ment in writing to the News corre-
pondent:
Yes, 1 read Felder's article in the
Atlanta Constitution. l do not know
who the alleged letter was written to
by Blease as the addressee's name Is
not given by Fielder. AS far as the
Hub" Is concerned in the said letter
l presume that 1t applies to Hub II.
Evans, as he was the only man OF the
name OF Hub that was ever on the
board of directors. Fielder and the
addressee are both Infamous liars as
l have never turned over to Cole L.
Blease $500 or any other moneys. And
there is not a man living in the world
that knows better than Tom Fielder
that 1 did not do 1t. If had done so
every man who knows Blease knows
he would have had too much sense to
have acknowledged 1t In writing; for
whatever else may have been or may
be said Of him, not even his bitterest
political enemies have accused him or
being a fool.
Not only that, what inducement
could have possibly been brought upon
me to deliver over to Cole L. Blease
$500 or any other moneys. All OF my
friends and enemies know that Hub
Evans did not give Cole L. Blease or
any other man $500 and another thing,
know that the language published in
the letters as to my not being reliable
In money matters was not used by
Blease for he knows that / am reliable
in all of my financial dealings.
Fielder Is known far and wide as
CRATER and a scoundrel and unworthy
Of belief and do not care to take fur
ther notice Of his filth, but am ready
and prepared to meet him and his as
sociates on any charge that he may
make. as 1 have been endeavoring to
do by clamoring for hearing before
the winding-up commission and de-
mand a trial in the courts. both OF
standing the fact that the constitution
of both the United States and my state
guarantee me the right to fair, pub
lie and speedy trial. All Of this has
been repeatedly refused me by the
commission and by the circuit judges
who have held the courts in the eighth
circuit.
"I have been lied upon. insulted by
insinuations and lying charges by Eel
der and his crowd Of liars and thieves
that I now call a show down. The
limit is reached. If Fielder or the
addressee Of said alleged letters pub
lished in the Atlanta Constitution
feels aggrieved at my language I am
rea ly to give them personal satisfac-
ton at any time and place they or
either Of them may desire"
