The evasion to the questions i'll our re-
ply to Paul Pry' are in Iced laughable 4;
but what else could be expected from one
who took such an interest i'll the recent
conflict of this town of course he
doesn't want to publish over his assumed
name the transaction that took place in
the Morgan-Lindale episode that took
place here during court week and know
ing as we do, what it was, we do not
blame him. We have learned how he was
helped out of his recent difficulty, and
such an attempt to stay off Justice or try
to prevent the law taking its own course
is a criminal procedure. Has not Prv'
repeatedly denounced bribery in all forms?
enough said. We do not recall Judge
BOyce's reuarkssto Judge Woolley, when
he discharged the jury, as being to the
effect, that 1t was the best and fairest
set of jurors he has ever come in contact
with. " The jurist did not say that. II
is evident that the Ellendae correspond
ent did not comprehend, our meaning in
our last reply, neither has he a know
ledge of what profsne language is. We
would advise him to take his dictionary
and find out the meaning of the words,
doltishly and ass, to which we believe
he took exceptions, claiming that they
were profane and vulgar words. AS far
as that part of his reply which says,
the Georgetown correspondent has got
il it bad, - we are unaware what we
have got it bad" over, and would like
for "Pry" to tellus. Summing his whole
reply, it only goes to show that he has
been whipped out of boots, and now
wishes to close what he te ms a contro- |
versy, when he says: I'VE always invite |
and enjoy a friendly DISCUSSION of public |
matters, but will in nowise continue this /
abusive haranguing with an unknown per |
SON" Quoting Pry we likewise always |
consider our conbatant whipped when he |
departs from that gentlemanly decorum
and shows his wrath by using we
will not say vulgar or profane'', but
rather obscene-language and we are
sorry indeed, to have wasted our space
IN one so easily cowed'. We might
urther add that we are not inclined to
continue with such an evasive writer
who only makes an ass out Of himself.
