BRUNER'S EXPLANATION.
Commissioner of Agriculture and Immi.
grafton Presents Views of
Circular.

Baton Rouge, La, Aug. 16.-E. o.
Iruner, Commissioner of Agriculture and
immigration, has issued the following
ircular letter:
II know il is your desire, as II Is the
lesire of every fair minded man to hear
10Th sides of every controversy before
eaching conclusion. | have been so
ruelly Misrepresentation Intentionally,
erhaps, but because my side has not
,een presented that | feel it my duty
present to you in this personal letter
he true and exact facts.
"My silence up to this time has been
lue entirely to the advice of my friends,
nd absolutely against my own judg-
nent in the premises, and no doubt this
tlence has been construed against me.
ain the beginning, i want to say that
Commissioner of Agriculture l have
irect or indirect supervision over all
ranches of the Agricultural Department.
{ is my duty to take cognizance Of
omplaints against any department and
, do what | can to correct any mistakes
r misconduct. Numerous complaints
we're made to me about Mr.. Dodson.
wo of the complainants were men who
ID been in Mr.. Dodson's department
u number of years and were sup
osed to know what they were talking
,bout They were men whose honesty,
integrity and veracity were unquestioned.
hey made many and serious charges
sainst Mr. Dodsons conduct of his de
artment Coming from the source they
id, from these men who had been for
umber OF years under Mr. Dedson and
a position to know what they were
alking about, l naturally believed them
be true, and on the strength Of my
.oncst belief in these reports | discussed
he matter with some of my friends
n supposed-to be friends s-and had my
.nformants place the matter before the
Governor, who assured me that thor
,ugh investigation of Mr.. Dodson's books,
vouchers, etc, would be made. But be-
fore the investigation could be made,
DR.. Dodson made affdavits against me
for sander. | went into the case de-
pending upon my informants to substan-
tiate the charges they had made to me.
Nv first witness-the man who made
the most charges and the one upon whom
| naturally most epended--absolutel
fell fiat and instead of substantisting
the charges he made, not only to me, but
TO the Governor and to my attorneys,
made good witness for the State. OF
course, 1, as well as my attorneys, was
absolutely nonplussed ssed-dumbfounded. l
saw that / had been misled, and as a
result had done Mr. Dodson an injury.
might have continued with the trial, had
my other witnesses testify, tied the mat
ter up in the Supreme Court until Oc-
tober or later and left some doubt in
the public mind as to the correctness OF
incorrectness of the charges made to me.
But / deemed il my duty--the duty OF
an honorable man---to rectify as speedily
as possible, and in the clearest and most
unequivocal way. the wrong I had unin-
entionally done Hence, / Immediately
had the case halted without putting an

other witness on the stand, and stated
to the court that | desired to plead
guilty to giving currency to reports that
had been made to me in my official ca
pacity as Commissioner OF Agriculture
and Immigration of the State OF Louisi-
ana. and which ! had honestly believed
to be true, though subsequent develop
ments had shown them not to be true,
and wanted TO make and did make the
amend honorable to Mr.. Dodson.
"Now, the above are the absolute facts,
and / want you to consider the whole
matter carefully and see if the course
have pursued justifies the very severe
criticism and abuse that has been heaped
upon me. 1t is true that subsequent de
velolpments proved that I made mis-
take in placing as much confidence as
did in the complaints made to me, but
when you take into consideration the
character, reputation and standing of the
complainants, and not in the light of
later developments, I believe you will
agree with me that ! had right to
believe these reports.
"Of course, | know and you know
that there are many people who assume
a 'hoier than thoT air-and condemn
most severely in others that to which
thev are themselves most guilty. From
such people I expect only abuse, but
from the average, fair minded honest
man who believes in right and Justice
who recognizes that TO err is human and
to admit mistake and right wrong
uninteutionalv done Is the hardest but
most honorable thing man can do
evoect Justice. believe that you are
this kind of man and I am writing tc
request you to use your influence to re-
, move from the minds of your friends
the very incorrect and unjust opinion
, they may have formed Of me from re-
, ports received"
