:lent!emen:
Wherea. , certain litigation has aris
'n between the Reedy River Power
Company and the'City of Laurens; and
Whereas, as City Attorney I advised
you that in my opinion, the Power
Company would prevail in its eonten
tions in the event of litigation; and
Wherena by resolution duly adopted
you desire and have directed that in
.inswer to t!.e complaint served on you
l, the Recdy liver Power Company
that the de'ense of fraud be interposed,
a hich defen'se in my opinion imputes
moral fraud to the plaintiff; and
Whereas, I am unwilling to sign any
pleadings imputing moral fraud to any
)erson without the submission to me of
evidence sulliient to convince me that
there is a probable ground for such a
charge;
Now, therefore, finding myself un
able to agree with you in your course
in this act ion, I deem it wise to tender
to you my re'signation as City Attorney
[s1 I could not. conscientiously under
take to set uti this defense and, there
fere, will not hamper you in your ef
forts to c(Onteel the ease on this
Egrountd.
In justice to myself I will ask that
this letter be spread upon the minutes
of yourl Board.
