Fditor Daily Mail; As there hi been so much said and printed in tt papers about the killing of John Mi rion Ashley that is absolutely fate that I feel that I must ask for spac in your paper to correct some of tt statements that have been made. I think I was about the first Ashle that got to Honea Path after the kil Ing, and I know that everything wt is quiet as I ever saw, considerin ;be circumstances. I am Bure that id vised all the people that. I talke ivith to let the law handle the cas< ind at no time did I think there woul be any trouble, as every one jseeme :o be willing to let the law take il jourse. Jim Bob Ashley, the son < rohn Marion Ashley, said be was wil ng for the law to take its course, be vas not willing for Policeman whit o get away, and said he wante White arrested and sent to jail. I went to the magistrate and tol >im I was ready to swear out a wai ant for White, and I wanted him aj eated and confined, and he asked m vno ne woma gee 10 arrest, mm, bdu old bimifbe would deputize me, could arrest him and no man woul ;et hurt. Now, Mr. Editory when the boy ame iu from tbe country knowin he feeling of the people of Hone >ath toward them, of course the, omearmed.ora part of them dk ut there never was a time when xpected any trouble unless the pec le of tbe town Btarted It. Now, I don't propose to discuss th lerits of the case, as 1 think tbe newt apers bave already tried the cas rom one side and bave settled tb latter, I suppose, to the satisfaction c tie defendant, but tbe state propose t> try its case before a jury or twelv len, and if tbe newspapers will givi i much space to the trial before th ourts as they have given to it al ?ady, I think the people will hav juitea different idea about the mat )r. Some of the newspapers have refei ed to the Ashleys as "outlaws" an* Keak of them as being organized infc ins, and called me the leader of tbi Ian, and say that John Marion As hie; 'as my lieutenant. Every man li outh Carolina that knows the Ash >ys, knows that I cannot, nor anj ther man can command or lead th isbleys, unless they lead the wa^ iey want to go.and I don't say f boastingly, but I say it boldy, tna o man can be found that has eve ved ajneifchbor to John Marion Ash >y, or any other Ashley for that mat )r, that will say that they are outlawi r desperadoes. There are other towns all over thii ountrv that the Asbleyg go to, am bey don't have any trouble witt lem, and 1 think the reason is tha :ie police in other towns won't shoo t people when they are driving out o >wn. And almost every piece that J ee in the newspapers, tbey bring ii ohn McGaha's name in conneoUoi 'ith every thing that happens abou [onea Path, ana they always say thai e was the ODe that drove through th< )wb shooting right and left, wbei ne truth of the matter is, as the reo rd of the trial will prove, that Jobr IcGaba did not shoot at all, and hac othing to shoot with, and why thej ill persist In printing that 1 don't un< eretaDa, unless tney aon't want to tell ae truth. Very respectfully, Joshua W. Ashley.
