Gladden, before Trial Justice Jones, for scliiuij intoxicating drinks. As I was prosecutor in the case, I nrvntn oil ?irtu*'r> in iv?nlv orivino-ft -f niter account, correcting the errors and denying the charge against me of being a spy, but before sending my article off you published a reply by Messrs. Gladden, Hall and Jackson, which I tkought would be a sufficient refutation of the charges in the first report. Since, Mr. Jesse Gladden has replied, and his article while withdrawing the chargo of spy applied to me in the first report, makes a statement about me which might be consl rued to my injury, and contained a bitter attack against Mr. W. S. Hallj and other charges! that are false. Under the circum-j stances iustice would cause you to^ivei me space for reply. I prosecuted Mr. Jas. A- Gladden j because he was selling cider which 11 believed to be the caase of the drunkenness at his store, which was a nuisance, in that the neighbors were aroused by the drunken, rowdy men and boys,'for I have been told that boys of even twelve years old were getting drunk. This drunkenness had been going on for a good whilet but increased about tho Christmas holidays. Several rows or lights occured there, and one in which both black9 and whites were engaged. Seeing that the peace of the c?mraunity was being disturbed, the lawi broken and the morals of the boys corrupted,- I went to Mr. Jim Gladden and asked him to discontinue the sale ?f the cider," because the neighbors were speaking very harshly about Iiim, and it would injure his character. He said that I could work for character, that he (Jim Gladden) would buy his. Seeing he was determined in his course, I told him then that I wonld prosecute him, which I proceeded to do to' the best of my ability. I perhaps did wrong in prosecuting Mr; Jas. Gladden instead of his father, as he was acting under bis father, but being young myself it seemed natural to prosecute against Mr. James Gladden. I take occasion just here to say, that in workiug up the case, I neither saw nor had a word, hint or suggestion whatever from Mr. W. S. Hall The trial was pronounced bv some who were present .a farce, owing perhaps, partly to my ignorance in prosecuting a c:;se, an5] partly to what I considered an error in the judgment of the trial justice, in that he contended that the party could not be found guilty unless the State could prove that the cider contained* alcohul?that proving that the eider would make drunk was not sufficient,'and he told several the same before' the trial. The trial seemed to be a farce because the justice did not allow me the chance to cross-question some of the witnesses, did not give me a chance to put up two important witnesses and further it seemed to be a farce because Mr. Jesse Gladden called one of the State's witnesses, a white man at that, a liar while on the stand, andthe justice did not fine ?r otherwise punkh -faini. Is not that sufficient evidence that the trial was a farce? What would yon consider a farce? After die-trial Mr. Jesse Gladden called-me & spy, arid I denied it and told him as he was an 3ld man, his sons, some of whom were present, might lake it up. I was surprised to see the same charge made in ;he published report. Since he has withdrawn the epithet and is trying to saddle it on some one c'se, 1 ask why use the term spy at all, if he wsis doins: a proper and legitimate business, :>pen and above board? There was uo need of a spy, for "where the carcass is there will "the zopelotes be collected", ind where the whiskey is there will the drunkards be assembled, aud they were assembled at Mr.Giaddens'.store. Mr. Jesse Gladden .charges that the tvhole business was malicious spite. [ deny the charge, and I am satisfied that after telling of the disgraceful conduct around Mr. Gladden's store, tvery decent man can see that it waa not spite, nor was there any politics in Lhe prosecution, as Mr. Gladden insinuates, and I think it has come to a pretty pass, if decent people'cannot attempt to maintain' the' Tawsr of the land aud preserve "denceiicy and good order in a neighborhood without being cnargeu wun uwig it jlui- (juuuuui reasons. It discloses the weakness of Mr. Gladdea's cause to resort to such measures. Mr. Gladden says I could if I w?uld: tell where some of the whiskey came from that caused the drunkenness. Yc>,.I can. and will, but the telling' will operate more to Mr. Gladden's discomfiture. A gentleman in the neighborhood had a gallon of nrViiofc-otr wrhi/?Vi fl-ff-pi* savino* a nfti'f. for bimself, he treated the balance^ to eighteen or twenty persons at two separate times, with' an interval of two or more hours between, butlhad noth-' ing to do with it, only knew the fact, rhis little taste might have increased their thirst for more, but I do not say it did, but if it diet, they knew where to go to get move, or they thought they did- Since the trial I have received from reliable gentlemen more evidence is to' the intoxicating quality of the ;ider sold by Mr. Gladden. We do not exnecfc to bo driven from what we lonceive to be our duty by empty threats, false charges and insinuations. While I have not told all, I think I iiave told enough to prove the falsity Df the charges made by Mr. Jesse jrladden,-andeaongh to prove that I liad ample grounds for the indictment, 3ven though I bailed, for the reasons ibove mentioned, to prove the chirge before atrial justice who had prejudged :he case.
