Statement by Hon. Joshna W. Afthlf
Anderson Daily Mail.
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.
