A CARD. *
Mr. Editor?Please allow me
to say to a slanderer, through the
columns of your valuable paper,
that 1 have been informed that
you, slanderer, have said l hat it
is inmored that Siieritl Hunter
would not work up a case against
a friend of his charged or suspected
of a crime. 1 desire to
say that no one except an enemy
with :i heart as black as hell itsell
would pierce me in ihe back
with such a lying tongue l>v mak
ing ui-e of such remarks. I have
no can He whatever to suspect any
friend ol mine < f having committed
any crime. If I had, and
felt that it was my duty to work
up the case, God knows I would
do it, if in my powvr to do so, if
1 knew 1 would never see inside
another office. I am satisfied
that many of rny triends will say
that 1 should have passed this
sTanderer uiiik (iced, but in as
much as he is giving circulation
to this infamous falsehood by
telling people confidentially in a
very sweet, hypocritical, low, soft
tone that. <lit is rumored/' etc.,
I therefore had a desire to say
v hat 1 have said in this way;
and, it I hear of any more such
falsehoods I shall he much more
explicit than this in my denunciation
of same, let it hurt whomsoever
it may. regardless of consequences.
My reason now for V
withholding the name ol this v*
slanderer is on account of his
good wife and innocent little
children. Kespect fully,
John P. Iluliter.
