Interview m the Warrenton «• * Clipper, with ...
Judge E. H. Pottle—Reply of Mr. Ed
ward Young to the Sam.*.
AN INTERVIEW WITH jcdge pottle,
As we had written two editorials in
regard to the Crawfordville Ellington
murder ease, as recently deveki|«d into
a sensation, without having seen Judge
Pottle, we concluded it was best to see
him in person and if possible get him
te answer a few questions we desired
toa«k him before writing anything
more. Below we give our reade-s the
benebt of our success. IV e would state
that at first he was averse to being in
teryiewed, but finally consented to give
' VeWM 1
aailed in a most reman* able 11 manner in
a very enligiitei.e I community, and we
desire to hear from your own bps the
tacts about thearrest and d ■»-ai of

•‘I can’t afford to go into the newspa
pers to explain any offleia conduct of
mine I have 00 objection to answering
any question, from you ”
‘•Oa 8atui-day night, 20th Oct., Mr.
Edge, the administrator of Amos El
lingtoa, the murdered aiao, presented
me an affidavit charging A. H, Stevens
«nd Jeff Adams wi tli the murder of
Arnos Ellington and asked for a war
rent. He assured me that he had strong
evidence in corroboration of Sang At
u.or. who was uader sentence of death,
fort-lw same crime. Iut ouce issued
the warrant and handed it to Ar.
Whitehead, Edge'« jounsel. The follow
fug morning (Sunday) 1 left for Ogle
thorpe couat. Mr. Edge stated on oath
before me in writing that it would be
unsafe to keep Sang Armor in jail in
CrawfotM ville, and than he thought it
necessarv to remove him, and to have
bim reprieved by the governor for a
short time so as to use his testimony,
In this, some respectable citizens of
Taliaferro county .concurred, and asked
me in apct tioi. to get the reprieve,and
.lave all the pnsoners removed, ‘lo
thiz I ossehted. A grave charge was
made under oath, and I felt it tuy duty
to tlie -State and tlie people to use ail

Huts'll hastened back and 1‘r lound the prisoners '
under guard in the court house and
well cared for, one of them with his
favorite fiddle. Tnis was on Saturday;
on tbe following Monday was Eiucolu
court. I was at a loss to know what to
do. Beth the prisoners preferred ti.at
their trial should be deferred until
Thursday following. I made that or
der and sent them with the order to
Crawfordville that, liigbt, to be deliver
ed to Sheriff Googer of Taliaferro, with
written iastrucUons to him not to put
them in jail but feed tliew well aud
tako care of them, but under a guard.
1 was informed by Deputy Sheriff Wii
lioit that the prisoners told their couu
«el in his presence that they wanted
tbe trial postponed. 1 went lo Lincoln
and found prisoners there in jail; one
of the cases demanding a speedy trial,
I hurried over tlie private road with
the Solicitor, Mr. Pierce, and re idled | j
Crawfordville on Thursday—the day
appointed—and began the trial, which
resulted in tiie discharge of the prison
ers, the State being unable to support
the testimony of Sang Armor who tin
plicated both on trial directly with the
killing or Ellington.”

Mr. Young’s Reply.
In another column is published an
interview with Judge Pottle, copied
frona the Warrenton Clipper. He seeks
therein to explain his action in tlie
arrest and removal to Warren ton of
A1 e C k Stevens and Jeff Adams, and
other circumstances , m regard , thereto. ..
1,1 doiriK so lie takes occasion to refer
to the course of the Democrat in that
matter.
1 flnd >“ bis interview the following
language.
The question is asked, “Have you
read the lengthy editorial report made
Crawfordville Democrat ?” f To
which the reply w :
“I did not read it. A friend cut
out a part of the i>ai>er containing ttie
correspondence at Liberty llall, and
sent it to me. I could not expect
much of truth or accuracy from that
irresponsible quarter and hence I did
not care to read it. I know very well
that a ‘Taliaferro man’ didn’t write ii.
It was likely penned by one whom no
one knows whence he cometh, nor
whither be goetlc”

what does lie base the imputation?
When , ..................
Publicly impugns tl the character , , ot , an
other, it is to be presumed that lie can
give some good reason for bis lourse.
W inference is that the writer has

’ lnaccui ‘ '
ble in his published statements ou the
subject in question. In a lengthy in
terview Judge Pottle has fully dis
cu =>« 5 .. hhe auDject, a.nd has dwelt „
u.ion
the reports of the Democrat in rela
tion thereto. Here we naturally look
for the J' grounds upon which his charge ^
. . based. If I to be convicted ot
, am
falsehood, inaccuracy and unreliability,
it is liere that I naturally look for the
evidence. Let us consider its pails.

reasons which governed Ins conduct J !

"
or accuracy facts alone are pertinent,
I shall deal simply with them.
Now what ‘ does he say of tin facts?
“»« .. iDemaenMiB. , ue begins .
>y
giving the facts which led to Ins ob
taiiimg the reprieve and ordering the
arrests and removals. The facts cou
ted . A with ... the arrest and detention
of the prisoners are -hen given. In
“one of these statements was there the
remotest contradiction Of arsingle fact
stated by the Democrat.
The next point I come fo is the reply
to the injuiry, “Why was Urn war- !
rant given to the Sheriff of Warren?’’
The reason is given and the facts upon
which it is based. “The Sheriff of
Taliaferro,” he says, “could not exe
cute it, for Edge swore this before me.
‘Deponent r , further * . swears that 4 . . .. the
Sheriff of said county of Taliaferro is
a relative, being tlie father-iu-law of
one of the paities suspected of partici
paring in the murder of Amos filling
ton.’ The warrant was against A. II.
Stevens and Jeff Adams,” Now if the
affidavit meant that either of these
«« was the son-iu-iaw o, the Sheriff
of Taliaferro, it was false. Everyone
acquainted with the parties knows that
such is not the fact. If that view was
taken, liere then is an error of fact. If
neither Stevens or Adams was the son
in-law of the Sheriff of Taliaferro, the
reason given for their arrest must fall
to the ground.
The arrival of the Judge in Cr.iw
fordville is then stated.
Tbe question is then asked as to the
truth of the charge that Sheriff Shut
ley took the prisoners through r. back
! part of the town of Crawfordville and
I refused to allow their attorneys to see
them. lo this be replies lroai nifor

were made by Adams exactly similar

So mueh for that point.
The next statement of the Judge is
that he did not say, as reported by me.
that he‘‘hud 110 apology to make to

he‘‘had no apology to make.” In this
