I beg to say that In the cane of the YVestville homicide of C. L. Kirk" land, published in your laat issue, I woe that I aiu accused of swear ing out warrants for the ? accused pftrMrn now in Jail. J wM to make a statement of what 1 know of the case. On Sunday* about day light <*f the 2ttth Ht January, i was called up l?y Major^ames, sent to me by Levi Klrkland, father of the dead sou, C. L. Klrkland, who was shot and killed a>ti a negro fro lick at Joss Truesdel'* on Haturday night at 11 o'clock, U> hold an In quest over hie body. Ah we have a ooron<;r In Kershaw county for that purpose, I declined to do 00, and advised him to go and get! the coroner, which he did and the in quest wan held. Three witnesses were it worn. Jury found verdict "That deceased came to his death by gunshot wounds, from the hands of person or penions unknown to the Jury." It Is stated that 1 swore out warrants the next day for the parties accused. 1 swore out war rants for no one. L#evl Klrkland, the father of C. L.

Magistrates a r required by law to Issue warrants in all cases of felons wheer there is a case when called upon. 1 re gret the matter very much as the blood that flows thru my veins, al so flows thru the reins of one of the accused parties, and what 1 have done Is nothing more than what my office duties requires of me. This statement Is true as to myself and my knowledge of the case. Jy.B. T. Truesdel, Magistrate. Westville, B. C., Feb, 1912. Hulwcrlbo for The Chronicle.
