Col J. T. Hill of Cordele He prosecuted by Col D. wall
who was then City Attorney Under the evidence was
doubtful as of matter of law whether not had the right
forfeit his license Since the city had appeal gave the
tho dob of law in favor the preservation of law ana oroer
and entered judgement FORGETTING his license The DEFENDANT

case was immortality is negative well postive-when one
fails to acqant himself with facts when they are easily sccs
BILE and mis-tates he guilty of classifying as ne

to me not with view ascertanng the truth but with the
sole and exclusive purpose of indirectly circulating taseoou

Second In the second question asked whether not
after the conviction of the defendent the case was carried
by writ of certiora This question itself shows

who propounded this question coud easily have satisfied
their desire to know the truth indeed they were actated by
such DESIRE merely by teephonng Col Jesse Granthan OF TINS
city, who knew that the Attorney referred to did not represent
the defendant in the cerora proceedings referred to- But even
if he had done and such had had been improper am uh

that City Attorney appontedby me eeced by
the Council did not even vote the matter am asked the
in this connection whether not the case fingered Tor
months and was finally dismissed at the cost of the plain
tiff but was not determined upon its merits Those who PROFOUND
this question do not want what the truth 49, for so
they could find from the record After the petition for
was sanctioned the case taken of hahds and
am in no way responsible directly indirectly for what
was done in the Superior Whether fingered for twelve
months or for twelve years is with which had nothing
