Why 7 Did Not Tell What HOke
Smith Had Done

I would like to ask question: Why did you
wait until after Hoke Smiths election to tell
what you knew about him? Respectfully,
I favor the election of Senators by the people.
ANSWER.
Because most of what / know about the
Monster was learned after the election
l felt morally certain that he had signed
the James g. Green letter which he after
wards denied and repudiated; but it was not
until after the election that [ obtained pos
session of the letter.
The evidence as to the kidnapping of Fan
ME Vandever, the ruin of Wiggin's home, and
the crime committed in the Executive office,
In August, 1907 were things unknown to me
until after the commission Of the outrage
on the audience at the Auditorium on the
night of September 3, 1910.
Besides, | had given my word to those who
were helping me fight the Congressional De-
serters and Do-nothlngs, that I'd keep out Of
the gubernatorial contest.
At the time [ learned that Gov Smith had
given full pardon to the negro who had shot
out the eyes of poor white man, it was too
late to change my plans.
Now let me ask a question:
Why should the fact that the people did
not know, last August, what fraud and
~ 01i1I'I 1o' PIeNcIlC Ilelu from 1nVeS-
tigating the charges now, and driving the
Monster from public life?
The Legislature owes it to the State to in
vestigate. If Smith were innocent he would
refuse to be sworn in, until he is "vindicated.
Why does he make no denial?
Why hasn't he sued, or prosecuted me?
Why has he tried to have me assassinated?
[ have to him Gin wrltng) accused him of
trying to have me murdered. He does not
deny 1t.
Bob Hutchns was one of the four outlaws
who used to do Smiths dirty work in his
damage suits against railroads. He met a
Ul0le1t death, as the other three did.
Was Bob Hutchins any kin to the j. III.
Hutchins who came to Thomson so SUSPECT
ouslyy, behaved SO suspiciously, and is now in
Jail?
If the Legislature WILL do its duty, the
worst man that ever came to Georgia will not
be her Governor, again.

ES3Sd Well, we have discovered that Hut
E4DoM chins did associate with Franks, and
one other man Irving Gunter) at Bostwick,
Fla
These three men, Hutchins, Franks and
Gunter occupied the same quarters a0hdle they
qoere 57e B0Ste0ich.
Now listen:
Franks has black hair and black eyes, in
stead of blue eyes and red hair, as Hutchins
claimed The two last fingers, on the left
hand of Franks, are turned toward the palm,
as Hutchins described; but he also has the
scar a0itb the mole under the right ear, and
on the nech-which scar and mole Hutchins
put on his mythical ''Tom WEIGH"
Franks is very smart man-and Hutc7tirs
isn't. Franks has a violent temper and re-
sents any criticism of his work. This caused
him to quit his job at the saw mill, where
Hutchins and Gunter both worked.
Franks has q foreign accent; and his COM
plexion matches his black hair and eyes.
WHO IS he? AND WHERE IS he?
He claimed to have wife in Charleston,
S. c..
Remember that Hutchins and Gunter were
from Langley, S. G.

solve the mystery of Hutchins
/ will give 800. to know the present
whereabouts of Franks. [ will give another
$500. to know his past record.
