ON NEWS ARTICLE
NEW ORLEANS STATES THREAT.
EkEp WITH ACTION FOR Al
tSAf LEGGED INTERVIEW.

sMr. and Mrs. T. 8. Jackson returned
last night from short stay In New
Orleans, and are now at home at 1924
Main street. The News has learned
on excellent authority that Mr.. Jack
son has employed two firms of attor-
neys of this city to enter suit against
the New Orleans States for the recent
publication of an alleged interview
with Mr.. Jackson in New Orleans.
One of the attorneys employed was
approached by representative of The
News today and when asked about the
proposed suit said:
THE alleged interview was entirely
false and without foundation. The
facts pertaining to Mr.. Jackson's mar.
riage were sent to the New Orleans
paper by local representative OF that
paper, and Mr.. Jackson was informed
in New Orleans by a telephone mes
sage from the States office that that
paper had in its possession this state
ment from its Hattiesburg representa-
tive. Having already received more
publicity than he eNdesired, Mr.. Jackson
endeavored to stay the publication o.
this report, and the only statements
made by Mr.. Jackson TO any represen
tative OF that paper we're made in al
earnest endeavor to have the pape
eliminate from the article any sensa
tional statements found therein which
had no foundation In truth.
After these efforts the reporter no
only failed to do as requested, bu
added thereto statements purportini
to come from Mr.. Jackson which wer
never made by him and which have n,
foundation in point of fact. An inves
tigation discloses that the entire pub
lication is such an absolute perversiol
of the truth as to indicate maliciou
publication and a desire to subjec
Mr.. Jackson to the ridicule of the CON
munity." rt
The attorneys refused to discuss tn
methods to be adopted in seekin
redress.
