?OY. Kl,MASK REPLIES TO FELDER CHARGES (Continued fronvPage Three.) general reference to tho testimony of 8am J. Nichols, as substantiating his statement, aro given. He gives.the Bently parole as being the one referred to by Felder in the letters which were published as writ ten to the governor from Ohio, and he exhibits a receipt for a draft of $25 which was sent the governor by friends of Bently and which wag turn ed over to the latter, he signing a re ceipt for same. An affidavit from W. F. Blackburn, the governor's steno grapher, setting out the above state ment Is submitted. A denial that he received $2.000 for the pardon of Rudolph Habens is made and an affidavit from Rabens himself settli.ft this forth is submitted, also an affidavit from the Rev. W. A. C. Mueller, bearing this out. Mr. Mueller says in bis affidavit that he personally requested the par don; that Rabens had only twenty eight days more to^erve and that it Is foolish to think he paid $2.000 to keep from serving twenty-eight days. He also says that Rabens* people tell him that they did not offer.'or pay one cent The governor says he never heard of F. H. Kraus? ? until the Augusta hearing and he reiterates that .he has genuine "T. B." letters. He repeats hi? well-known statements about a "frame-up" and being alble to convict Felder. "The governor calls his "brief" "The Proof Positive" and says: "You should rejoice with me that once more honor and virtue have been able to with stand the black band assaults of In famy and shame. He refers to "the Burns gang" and applies to them such epithets as "hirelings" and "cattle." Says Tuft Renounced Burns. He \SAys that "since _ it became known that the Burns crowd was hounding me down, letters and tele grams have come to me from various sections of the continent giving me in formation of the dirty methods of this detective agency. I wish to call your attentlo? to the fact that they have been denounced by two of the most prominent men In the United States. President William H. Taft, and At torney General Wickersham." The governor asaslls the detective In sting ing and bitter terms. The governor, under his sub-headfng of "Other Future Charges and Proof," says that the "Felder committee' may go into some other avenue of pollu tion and bring forth some poor, mis erable being in the shape of a human being who is willing, for the Bake of a few paltry dollars, to further steep 1b or her soul in misery, and they may, in their, desperate efforts to get rid of me, assail and attack those kindred and friends dear to me. Such other foul falsehoods as they shall send forth shall be answered by me, If an swer be deemed necesssry, whenever they are made." An Insinuation. He then charges that the reason for this investigation is to cloud the issue! and keep him off the record of Judge I Ira D. Jones, saying that "I cannot say that they did not receive compen sation therefor." Referring to the prominence given by the newspapers to the Felder testi mony, the governor "demands" that the papers publish his reply in full, and to quote the reply, "If they charge a penny for this, then I shall have the undoubted proof that they are cocon spirator8 with Felder and Burns to get from honest people their money." He dares the newspapers to refuse to pub lish his reply in full. The governor classes himself with Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson* John C. Calhoun and Abraham Lin coln, and styles himself as fighting the battle of the people against the fierce and bitter opposition of the privileged classes, Concluding, his statement says: "But naught that can be said or done, as long as I shall live, will prevent me from going on Jn the fight I have been making for your rigb'ts and I be lieve that in this battle I have the hopes, the assistance and the prayers of a great majority of the white men and women of South Carolina."
