Judge Benton then read a
lengthy "pnopoposition" whic h
had been made by Mr.. Hampton
to the grand jury. In the paper
the banker disclaimed any intention
of showing contempt of court, but
stated that he thought and had
been advised that he could not IN
der the constitution be compelled
to testify to anv fact which would
incriminate himself.
He set out. also, that he did not
wish to gain immunity by testify
ing to matters which would involve
his friends. The two men, who
are involved by his testimony. had
given their consent that he dis
close the facts in the cas- q,

| should not be required to give
evidence that would tend to in
criminate myself, and that under
the law l had right to refuse to
answer such questions, but another
reason for refusing was based up
on the fact. that if I should dis
close the name of such person or
persons, / would be put in the
position of securing immunity from
punishment myself, and would be
surrendering my friends. who have
relied upon my integrity and good
faith, to the infection of whatever
penalty may be placed upon them.
In the position that | have taken
| have not intended to stand out
against the laws of Kentucky, nor
to show any disrespect to this
grand jury.
CORRUPTION LONG wINKED AT.
Il believe that it is we'll known
to most of the citizens of our
county, and, indeed to the officials,
that the system of corrupt cleo
tons has prevailed in this county
and has been either sanctioned
or winked at by the public general
ly, without any attempt to this
time to enforce the law which
has stood upon our statute book
for so many years. Indeed, | be-
lieve this is true throughout the
State generally.
AS a citizen of Clark county |
am interested in the enforcement
of the laws that have been recOg-
nized, / believe as firmly and con-
scientiously as any man in Clark
county in honest, fair and clean
elections, and l shall be glad to
see a change from the old system
which has prevailed for years in
t h i S county, in which bribery
and corruption have been the rule,
to system of free, fair and clean
elections.
FIRST EFFORT TO ENFORCE LAW.
For these reasons, and as this is
the first attempt to put into force
or effect this law, l am willing to
make the following proposition to
this grand jury, which believe
will, under the conditions that
have existed up to this time, meet
all the requirements of justice, and
will be a recognition of and SUBJ
mission to the authority of this
law, and submit this proposition
with the realization that this is an
admission of my own guilt and
that | am made to pay a penalty
for which many others have been
guilty for many years who have
gone unpublished, and / want to
emphasize the fact that in submit
ting this proposition l am doing
50 with the fullest and freest con-
sent of the two men whose names
| propose to disclose, and had they
not willingly given their consent,
| could not conscientiously make
this proposition, and would gladly
suffer the penalty that the law
might invoke by confinement to
the county Jail, if the ends of JUS
tice demand it, rather than to
break faith and betray the conf
dence of these and others who
have been my friends.
MY proposition is this: will
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1913-10-08

to whom | have given money to|
be used in the primary of August
2. 1918. and the grand jury shall
indict these two men for receiving
the sums of money which l have
given them, and these indictments
shall be returned at once to the
court, and their case shall be cali
ed and they shall enter plea of
guilty.
HAS SECURED THEIR CONSENT.
Il make this proposition with
the distinct understanding that /
have secured the consent of these
two men to disclose their names
and the facts of giving them money
to be used in the late August pri-
mary. and with the understanding
with them that | will pay their
fines. / submit this proposition
further with the request that the
grand jury will make a report in
writing to the court to the effect
that the Judge of Clark Circuit
Court will especially charge the
next grand jury empaneled in
Clark county to investigate all ir-
Irregularities and violations of cleo
ton laws in connection with the
regular election in November,
1913, and that they also request
the Judge from this time on to
charge each and every grand jury
to investigate all attractions of the
election laws in connection with
all subsequent elections held in
Clark county.
Il believe in meeting this stu
alton freely and frankly and be-
lieve that most of the members of
this grand jury know that the
conditions that have stated have
existed for many years, and l be-
lieve this grand jury are acquaint-
ed with my business integrity and
with the faith that have always
kept with my friends and with the
public generally.
SACRED OBLIGATION TO TRUTH.
1T might be that by evasion,
equivocation or by relying upon
what l believe is my constitutional
right might have escaped from
the punishment inflicted on me for
refusing to answer questions be-
fore the grand jury, but | do not
hold more sacred my allegiance to
my friends than | hold sacred by
obligations to integrity, faith and
truth.
with this sense of integrity, |
submit to the grand jury this
proposition, and upon the faith
that your suggestions and request
will be carried out to the very let
ter. And | believe that in doing
this the ends of justice and the
best interests of the citizens of
Clark county and the law, which
is now being invoked for the first
time in many years, will be better
established in the minds of the
people and before the public gen.
orally than by any other method
that could be suggested.
La conclusion | wish to state
that if the grand jury does not be-
lieye with me that this will be the
best solution for the present con-
dition ard will best serve the ends
of justice, l do not want my propo-
sition accepted.
Respectfully submitted,
ID. B. HAMPTON"
After the settlement of the con-
troversy with David B. Hampton,
Judge Benton, in a short COM
ment on the situation, expressed
pleasure that the matter had been
settled. He said:

Immediately came to the conclusion that

1t Is said that Maeterlinck himself will
accompany the production to America,
but this is doubted by those who know
his habits and fnclinations.
When his wife. who is a singer as
well as an actress. went to Boston to ap-
pear in Debussy's "Pellas and Nell

to go to America, but he refused.
