you now state that it was widely

that | had sold out the warrants
against the boys in question. Now
if you have not started this in

Boyer and myself, why is it that
you can't give the names of at

that had given you this informa-
ton.
dislike very much to go into
print before the public upon any
question, but in this case, it is
solely a matter of self defense,
and you ought to know that will
not suffer YOU or any one else to
SANDER me without making some
sort of defense.
You must remember, young
man, that as young as you are,
you are guilty of the crime of as
sisting in robbing the people of
their political rights, when you
