GOVERNOR'S REPLY TO GILREATH (Jovernor Tells HJs Part In Greenville Arrests?Declares He Advised Rec ?tor to Lay Vaughn's Story of Es cape from Jail Before Srillcitor and Act Under Latter's Instructions. Columbia, Nov. 6.?Gov. Blease to day gave out a copy of a letter he wrote to Mr. J. I). Gllreath, of Green ville, answering specifically the lat ter's question whether the governor ordered his arrest. The governor says in his letter that after Mr. P.ector talked over the Yau&nn escape charg es with him he told him to consult Solicitor BonhaiP, and if the latter so advised him, then to make the arrests. The governor also relates the charges against Mr. Gllreath which had been reported to him. The letter in full follows: "November (J, 1!>12. "Mr. J. I). Gllreath. Greenville, S. C. Dear Sir: On November 1, 1912. I re ceived the following telegram from you. "Greenville, S. C November 1. 1912. "Governor Blease, Columbia. S. C; "Did you order my arrest. Kindly wire at my expense. "(Signed) J. D. Gllreath." To which I replied as follows: "Columbia, S. C. November 1. 1912. "J. I). Gllreath, Greenville, S. C: "Your wire. Primary obligations, in my opinion, bind all parties. The vio lation of the oath in one Instance- re lieves all others therefrom. If my wire is to be used against a Democratic nominee, I shall remain silent. "(Signed.) Cole L. Blease." At that time I was reliably informed that Mr. Rector was the Democratic nominee for sherlq of Greenville coun ty, and that one, Vlrden, was a can didate on the independent ticket. My first duty, as a democrat, was to the nominee of the democratic party, and to use every effort to secure his elec tion, and most assuredly to do nothing which would cause his defeat; hence, my reply to you it that time. Since the majority of the people of Greenville County have stood to their colors and shown to the world that they are not perjurers, but that they, like true men, have abided by the oath which they took when they swore to support the nominees of the demo cratic party, 1 now take pleasure In answering the question in your tele gram specifically. Mr. Uendrlx Rector called me over the long distance telephone and stated that Vaughn had made a confession. In which he had said that Ex-Sherif Gllreath, Jailer Phillips and another person, whose name 1 now do not re member, were the ones who had re leased him from the county jail; and that he (Rector) had other testimony, which went to show the truthfulness Of Vaughn's statement. I advised Mr. Rector to go to Solicitor Bonham and lay the facts before him, and If he (the solicitor) thought them sufficient, to Immediately Issue warrants for the arrest of all of the parties. The next information I received over the 'phone was from a gentleman whose name I understood to be Morris; he stated that Rector had had warrants sworn out for these three parties and that he had gone Into the country to arrest one of them and that as soon as he re turned he was going to arrest Gll reath, and requested, on behalf of Ree t^r, not to allow any person or per sons to have any communication what ever with Vaughn, aa they felt some of the parties or their friends would come and Induce Vaughn to change his statement. The next Information I received was from Mr. Rector, who stated that he had arrested the three parties and that they were In the coun ty jail. Mr. Jock Power then took the 'phone and stated to me that Rector had suc ceeded In arresting tiio parties, and " ? there was a great deal of feel iii*. and Jokingly remarked that if they put Rector in jail that I must stick to him. I replied to him that I would. This Is, In substance, the en tire conversations had over the 'phone, and I did not direct the arrest of any of these parties, but advised Mr. Rec tor f.q consult, with tho solicitor and if he thought the testimony sufficient, to mak? tthe .arrost; and, when I was 'phoned that the arrests had been made. I presumed they had been made after consultation with tho solicitor. Sheriff Poole, cuuie to the Mansion on''Sunday. October 27, and told me that Vaughn had made a confession i and-told who.bad done GW work In re leasing htm from jail, Implicating the ?tjhree ^par|l*g,, jWhom * I <,afa , Informed have Keen aVrested. He'asked me what tto dorJI-414 not Jntlmate to hlm^hat ? RecfoVMtife Vafof??for me'<yver the 'phone; because; Rector had requested me not totoW tttyt>*Btf About vh^con^raatfon I told 8herlff Poole that If he had suf ] p?ityt| te^ymo?^^!prfl^dvw bavS the parties arrested and referred him to Chief State Constable P. H, Corley, who had been In GreonvUle'.. worklna on the case for some time, for such further assistance as be might be able to give. After tfome further conversa tion tho sheriff asked mo to write a certain communication. which he thought would assist him materially In the matter. I told him that I would do this, whim I did not do later because Rector, having had the arrests made, the communication would have been of no value. Aa the sheriff was leaving, he said that it would take Monday and possi bly Tuesday to get the matter In proper shape. 1 told him to go by Cor l"\ s home and take him to Greenville with him, and to proceed in the entire matter at once. Thus, you will see, that I only or dered your arrest upon condition, which condition was that Mr. Rector was to consult with the solicitor, and If he (the solicitor) thought the evi dence sufficient, to convict, that the arrests then be made, if Mr. Rector consulted Solicitor Bonham and So licitor Bonham told him to proceed, then I presume It could be truthfully stated that I ordered the arrests. I will further state, for your infor mation, that 1 was informed, Hi st, that Mr. Vaughn boarded at your father's home while he was attending school at Furman University, and that he and you were good friends; second, that at the time of Mr. Vaughn's escape you owed him f2,000; third, that you were a candidate for Bherlff, and that Vaughn's escape would cause, and did cause. Sheriff Poole'a defeat; that these were the motives which prompt ed you. In addition to this, the confes sion of Mr. Vaughn, as r have stated above to you, coming from Reotor and Poole and affidavit from one Alexander, who was In the Jail at the time, swear ing that he saw yon there assisting Vaughn and knew It to be you. I do not state that any of these facts are true. It is simply the Informa tion which came to me, and there are men in the penitentiary today on much less evidence than these facts, and for this reason Mr. Rector was di rected to see Solicitor Ronham, and Solicitor Bonham, I presume, knowing all of the parties and knowing what credence to give their testimony, would be in a position to advise. I was not in a position to advise direct and did not do so. I have been somewhat lengthy in this reply to you, but have set the facts out fully, in order that you might thorough understand my position in the matter as well as your own.

District Attorneyshlp. Columbia, Nov. 7.?Attorney Gener al Fr?ser Lyon Is being prominently mentioned for United States district attorney to succeed Mr. Cochran and the friends of the popular and able attorney general are confident that he will be the man. This is, of course, al possible because Woodrow Wilson was yesterday elected president of the United States, tho first democrat to be chosen for that office for 20 yearB. Mr. Lyon Is rounding out his third term as attorney general and he has made- an enviable career in that office. He was elected on the anti dispensary platform In 1906 and did valiant service In breaking up the G. M. I., and In ferreting out the corruption of that old Institution. Although fought Utterly at every turn and faced by odds which would have daunted a less courageous and public spirited servant, Mr. Lyon never swerved but did his duty to his stnte. Mr. Lyon's experience in the office of attorney general peculiarly fit him for the office of district attorney and his friends are hoping that he will be appointed by President Woodrow Wilson to succeed the present Incum bent, Mr. E. F. Cochran of Anderson, whose term expires on the fourth of next March. USE OF CALOMEL PRACTICALLY STOPPED. Dangerous Drag Giving Way for Safer, More Reliable Remedy.
