make this statement because the
statement of Mr.. Tompkins would nat
urally prejudice your mind and the
mind of the public against Darlington
and Young, which seems to me to be
an injustice.
In regard to the minutes which Mr..
Tompkdns says mysteriously disap-
peared, it was testified in the case
that those minutes, or what purport-
ed to be the minutes, were at the
stockholders meeting in Columbia,
s. on December 20, 1908, at which
time / read extracts from same, of my
audit. and compared at said meeting
by attorneys and others while ] read
same. 1t was also testified to before a
Special Master. on December 5, 1911,
by an attorney present at the meeting,
that the extracts from the minutes.
which appeared In my report of audit
and which are matter of record in
the Court, were exactly the same as
appeared in the minute book OF the
Seminole Securities Company which
was present at the stockholders meet
Ing of December 20, 1908.
1t Is not necessary to reply in re-
gard to no testimony Deing offered in
evidence by Darlington and Young.
This matter has already been discuss
ed before Your Excellency at a recent
hearing given to the defendants and
Your Excellency Is familiar with the
reasons why they did not testify.
1t seems to me that Mr.. Tompkins'
charge that this scheme was founded
for the sole purpose OF loot Is wholly
gratuitous, as he admits in his letter
that the larger portion of the stock
was sold to bankers and the richer
class Of npnnln. and ~f
fact the stock was sold in large
blocks to their own relatives and
friends, which would not be indicative
of loot.
The information given to Your En-
cellency, that Mr.. Darlington is under
Indictment in the courts of this coun-
ty Jointly with others on another
charge, | would suggest is irrelevant
to this issue and has nothing to do
with the consideration of the matter
before Your EXcellency.

REPLIES TO FRANK G. TOMPkINS

Governor BIease Concerning Seminole Matter.

original amount collected from the
sale of the stock: but he does not
state that of this amount collected
there was paid into the hands of the
trustees $101 1504.4S. which they sub
sequently paid out to the Southern
Life Insurance Company and the re-
ceivers. He also fails to state that
there was paid out to agents for the
selling Of the stock $137,S29.34; and
paid to the Southern Life Insurance
Company $72,S59.4S, to say nothing Of
other disbursements, detailed state
ment of which l annex, amount to
$S2,754.2S. Hence this statement Of
Mr.. Tompkins Is not only incorrect
but misleading.
The printed letter of Mr.. Tompkins
says that considering that that trans
action accounted for $4,000" which
l presume was evidently intended for
$4,000, "the balance of the 1894. .O621O
has disappeared from the treasury of
the company, and it has been the con-
tention of the State, the receivers and
the stockholders ~~~> orally that this
money was fraudulently mis- appro-
rated by Messrs. Darlington and
Young, who were the officers of the
company charged with it's custody"
The statement above made by me
shows that he is absolutely incorrect
in his statement and that it Is mis-
leading to the public mind; and the
inference to be drawn from his state
ment is that the balance of the sum
collected from the sale of the stock
was misappropriated by Darlington
and Young. The Court records show
that Darlington and Young were
charged with a misrepresentation of
$5O,6O2,77. and not the amount as i'm
piled by Mr. Tompkins.
The amount it is alleged they mis-
appropriated is made up as follows:
