MT. R. F. Milwee, Little Rock, Ark. |:


 upon my return was shown copy of a paper published in Conway, which had on it's front page letter sup posed to have been written to you by your brother-in-law, MT. J. M. Bush of Marianna, which purports to be in answer to letter from your broth in-law, Jesse Bush, asking you, Mir. Milwee, why Eugene Williams) was supporting Judge Hays for gov ernor. To begin with, it is indeed very sigular that it mattered at all to your brother-in-law why l was sup porting Judge Hays, or should l be supporting MT. Brundidge, it would even then be very singular why he should interest himself to know just why I was doing so. However, if it is that he is now and will in the future care to know for whom and for what l stand, he can always find out by ask ing me or any of my friends here at home, for there never has nor never will be secret about for whom or for what 1 stand on any question of public interest. It is also strange that your brother-in-law should have jour neyed to Little Rock to ask of you my reason for supporting Judge Hays, when I live within 16 miles of his home town, and in fact, he had to pass through Forrest City to make his con- nection for Little Rock, and had he been so very much interested in know ing why l was supporting Judge Hays, I assure you that he could have gotten the information here, though the truth of the matter is your brother-in-law would not have cared why 1 was sup porting Judge Hays, had you not on Sunday, the Sth, when he was in your office in Little Rock, asked him to write you (asking information) The fact is, I think you are sinking the third and last time, as you said you were the last talk I had with you, but so much for why your brotherin-law cared to know of you why I was sup porting Judge Hays.
 Now, let's see about the truthful ness of your statement to your broth er-in-law of the 10th. To begin with, I did not call you over the phone sev- eral times, as you say l did. l did call you one time, however, and only did so because you had requested MT. Buford to have me do so. In that conversation you insisted upon my coming to Little Rock; you later had a mutual friend wire me to meet him at the Rock Island train, which he was passing through upon for the purpose of insisting upon my coming to Little Rock to see you sometime (about two weeks later) and after myself and associates were avoWed Hays suport- CTS, Mir. Tom Buford and myself did go to Little Rock, getting in on an afternoon train, and went directly to the Marion hotel for the purpose of checking our handbags, and in the lobby of the hotel, when this same mutual friend (whom you had asked to see me. came up to MT. Buford and myself and insisted that he go up to Mir Brundidges headquarters. We both (Mr. Buford and myself) tolo him we did not care to. Then 1t was that he told us there was no one ur there (meaning the headquarters) eX' cept you (Mr. Milwee) {; and that you desired to see us, and as We could set no impropriety in making you friendly call, we did so in company with our mutual friend, and sure enough, as he has said, you were alone (with the exception of two state poll ticians, and as you remember, MT. Mil wee. and will tell the truth and mol jump at conclusions as you told youl ibrother-in-law to do in your letter o1 the 10th to him you will say that w' had no private talk. All that wa: said was in the presence of yoursei1 the two state politicians, our mutua friend. Mir. Buford and myself. There was no discussion except in genera way. If you will remember, MT Ruford and I were only in your head Iouarters few minutes, when we eX cused ourselves. We then went to th' headouarters of Judge Hays, and II A rosonce of 15 or 20 other gentle
