A Slanderous Publication Refuted.
The following letters are from
District Attorney John R. Hunter
and Mr.. T. A. Carter, attorney
for the defense of Tom TORY
and three other men now confin-
ed in the Colfax Jail. These men
are to be tried for waylaying,
shooting at, wounding and at
tempting to murder several men,
who were employed by the j. F.
Ball Lumber Co., several weeks
ago during a controversy and
strike by the union men. These
letters are sent to US with the
request that they be published.
They need no explanation, and
state the subject fully, as follows:

Editor Collar Chronicie:
My attention has been called to GER
tain articles appearing in the "Voice
of the People" wherein am reported
to have offered to bet that would
hang Tom TORY ct. ais, now under in
dictment in Grant parish. To this
charge | wish to enter an emphatic de-
NAL and to characterize all such state
ments as false and without any founda-
ton in fact. | have never offered to
make any such bet, nor have | used
any expression from which anyone could
infer that / entertained any such opin-
ion as to the outcome of this trial.
AS the representative of the State
of Louisiana | have not in the past,
nor shall / 10 the future, permit my of.
flee to be used as the vehicle of any
private interest or prejudice, but shall
in this case as have in the past, rep
resent the State of Louisiana, alone
and conduct the prosecution in fan
and impartial manner.
| Very truly yours,
JOHN r. HUNTER,
District Attorney.
