Yours truly,

The above letter was written
by Gen. ]. w. Lewis, a promi.
nent member of the Paris bar,
and at one time States Attorney
for this judicial district.
The people of Paris, Gen. Rye's
home town, were hurt and indig-
nant at the efforts of Governor
Hooper and the Banner to dis
credit Mr.. Rye as an official by
falsely accusing him of neglect
ing his duty as prosecuting at
torney, and more especially at
che brazen effrontery which was
shown in selecting the place
where Mr.. Rye lives and his life
is known of every man, as the
scene of these false and malicious
charges and contemplate slurs,
therefore Gen. Lewis in writing
the above letter, which gives
nothing but a bare statement of
facts, represents the citizenship
of Paris and Henry county who
feel that Hooper and the Banner
in attacking Gen. Rye in this
manner are rejecting upon the
town, the county and the people
thereof.

the second letter of Gen. Lewis,
which follows, that Hooper and
his Banner do not permit even a
private citizen to make a state.

THOSE CASES RYE DID NOT TRY

ing out of the last arrests here
Mr.. Green, chief of detectives
brought here, made a public
statement that Paris was not
any worse than any other town
he had made and not. as bad as
many in the illicit sale of liquor,
and cited Dyersburg, Jackson
and Union City as being worse
than Paris, He also said that
there was not a town in the
state of 1000 inhabitants that
he could not find as many as
two liquor joints in it in less than
an hour.
After reading these statements
each citizen can determine for
himself as to where Gen. Rye is
~ be censured for his acts as at
torney-general in this county.
In conclusion, | desire to say
that | have voted on every op-
portunity | have had for every
act that looked to the suppress
sion of the liquor traffic, and
while | have defended those
charged with violating the liquor
statutes, | am as anxious to see
the trade broken up as any citi-
zen in my town and declined to
defend any of the parties last ar
rested here.

Respectfully,
J. w. LEWIS.

Regarding the Dallas Smith in
dictments, which | overlooked in
this communication, | desire to
say that there is but one wit
ness marked on these indict-
ments. That witness lived in
Big Sandy, in Benton county, at
the time the indictments were
found. Three subpoenaes have
been issued for this witness by
the circuit court here and sent
to the sheriff Of Benton county,
who is a Republican and a gen.
tleman, and they have been re-
turned saying said witness was
not to be found in this county.
On the day claimed by this wit
ness to have bought whiskey
from Dallis Smith, he snapped
horses with Dallas, and later on
sued Dallas for damages and on
trial of the damage suit, before
the indictment was found, he
stated before w. 7. Snow, an
honorable gentleman and a Re-
publican justice of the peace,
that he did not know who he
got the whiskey from; that he
gave some money toa man twice
to get some liquor, but he was so
drunk that he did not know
whether it was Dallas Smith or
not. This statement will be
verified by Esq. Snow and four
or five gentlemen that heard the
trial, so | don't wonder that the
sheriff of Benton county couldn't
find him.
Yours truly,
J. w. LEWIS.

rested and bound over to the
circuit court. Neither of these
two men were officers and were
not able to show and did not at
tempt to show any authority for
having the pistols. When court
came on | went in person to Mr..
Rye and demanded that he in
dict them, when he and | had
some sharp words about it, he
seeming not to want to indict
them. The acts of these detec-
tiyes We're SO offensive that the
good men who had procured
them to come here refused to go
on their bonds and they had to
give bond by guarantee compa-
NY in Nashville.
In explanation to me as to why
he would not try my clients, al
luded to in the beginning of this
statement, Mr.. Rye said that
whenever my clients showed and
satisfied him that they meant to
obey the law that he would then
discuss with me the disposition
of the cases. Thereupon went
into court and complained to the
Judge that my clients had some
rights and stated that the attor-
ney-general, upon one excuse
and another, continued the cases
of my clients, and had virtually
admitted to me that he could not
convict, and begged the court
for trial. His honor remarked
that he would continue them this
time, but would see that they
had a trial next term. At the
last term Of the court the docket
was continued and these leases
were carried over because of the
absence of the encouragement.
| say further, that at the time
these indictments were procured
the attorney general employed a
stenographer at large expense
and took down the testimony of
every witness before the grand
jury, and the stenographer's
notes will show that not a
witness testified to having
bought intoxicating drinks from
any of the parties above men
toned.
Another statement of the Ban
ner desire to correct is that
beer was purchased from the
parties heretofore mentioned and
taken to Nashville and analysed
and found to be intoxicating.
The real facts are, a deputy
sheriff went over the town and
secured several bottles Of beer
that had been sold by the par
ties mentioned and gave to Mr..
Crutchfeld, who was then mar
shall of the town, and he took it
to Nashville and had it analysed.
and but one bottle of all the
number he carried showed to
have as much as two per cent of
alcohol in it and he so reported
to the attorney general, who now
has the analysis.
1t is surprising that when Mr..
Crutchfeld reported this fact to
Gov. Hooper, or those who
speak for him, that he did not
state the whole truth and full,
that only one of the many bottles
he carried showed more than
two per cent of alcohol in it. 1t
may be further said that during
the time of the sale of the beer
that has been made so much ado
about by the banner and Gov.
Hooper Mr.. Crutchfeld was
marshal of the town; was known
to be an ardent supporter of
Gov. Hooper, and yet he never
made single arrest of any one
of these parties or any one else
for selling liquor. He himself,
was indicted and pleaded guilty
here to assault and battery with
his billy upon a reputable, peace
able and quiet citizen. The citi-
zen testifying that he had a pis-
toll in his hand at the same time.
This was upon a purely personal

To the Editor of the Nashville
Teanessean and American,
Nashville, Tennessee.
Dear Sir: | notice in your paper
of yesterday that Governor Hoop
er stated in his speech Saturday
that | did not tell the truth in
my letter to che Banner referring
to the cases of which Gen. Rye
was charged by the Governor
with not enforcing the law here.
This letter, it will be remem-
bered, the Banner refused to
publish, evidently not wanting
the public to know the whole
truth.
Replying to the Governors
statement, if he be correctly
quoted by the Tennessean, |
desire to say that when Gov.
Hooper denies the truth of a state
ment of a gentleman, about
which he knows nothing and
could know nothing, he shows
his utter recklessness and want
of culture and publishes himself
as a coarse, wanton and reckless
prevaricator. Except for my re-
spect for the high office of Gov
ernor and not for the man Hoop
err, | would reply in very much
stronger language.
| refer those wanting to know
whether the Governor or l should
be placed in the Ananias Club, to
Judge Thos. E. Harwood, who
was the presiding Judge at every
term of the court when these
cases referred to were continued.
Again the governor shows his
coarseness and utter want of any
respect for the truth, when he
said he knew my clients were
guilty. The real truth Is, | don't
believe that either of them can
ever be convicted or could have
ever been convicted.
In conclusion | desire to say
that | am willing to measure
standards with the Governor,
either as to ANCESTRY, REAR
ING, VARACITY OR QUAIL
FICATION AS A LAWYER to
defend bootleggers, which we
have both done if he has been
correctly quoted.
Trusting that you will give
place to this note in your paper,
| am, Respectfully,
]. W. LEWIS.

time to time run write-ups and his
tory of each candidate except those
who have refused to advertise in a
colored newspaper, and they are the
present Mayor Hanna and J. L. Ham
cry. The present mayor has always
been prejudiced against my race. His
past life has shown this fact. The
second proposition is whether or not
we shall buy the water company at a
cost of 2,2SO,OOO. / rather think that
we should vote no, not because Lam
opposed to municipal ownership, for
the opposite is my belief, but that the
present price with the conditions OF
purchase is too high. The third prop
osition is whether we want an auto
matte telephone in our city and have
two systems again.
