A Wilful and malicious Mis
statement o( Facts.
Editor Americus Recorder:—In
the Sumter Republican, of this
date, appears the following state
ment, beaded:
AN IMPORTANT SURGICAL OPERATION.
Mrs. William TomlinsoD, living
a few miles from Amerieus, has for
a year or two past, been troubled
witli a tumor on tho knee. For the
last few months, it has grown rap
idly and assumed alarming dimen
sions. It encircled the knee and
spread six or eight inches up and
down, grew to extraordinary size
and was, in the opiuion oftho ply
sicians, obliged to prove fatal if
not amputated. Wednesday her
husband brought her to the board
ing house of Mrs. Morgan in this
city, and Thursday noon, Drs.
Westbrook & Harrison, of Ander
son, and Dr Haines, of Americus
administered chloroform and am
putated the tumor.
Tbc facts arc that Dr. J. B. Hinkle,
of this city, did, at my request, suc
cessfully remove the tumor from
the leg of my wife; and that at his
invitation the other physicians
named were present and kindly
rendered such assistance as he de
sired.
I stood by her side and witness
ed the entire proceedings, and I
cannot express in* mere words
my gratitude to Dr. Hinkle, who
performed the operation, or to Drs.
Westbrook, IlnrrisDu and Raines,
who so kindly aid6d him.
William Tomlinson.
Americus, Ga., June 28, ’84.
Mit. Editor:—My attention hav
ing been called to an editorial in
the Sumter Republican of to-day,
headed “An Important Surgical
Operation,” I find that it contains,
as will appear by lire statement of
competent witnes.se!, a wilful and
malicious misstatement on the part
of Col. C. W. Hancock as to who
performed the surgfcal operation
npon Mrs. Win. Tomlinson. Know
ing that Judge K. J'. Warren, one
of the editors of Hie Republican,
boarded at Mrs. Morgan’s, where
my patient, is, and also that lie was
perfectly familiar with the fact Dial
the tumor had been removed by me,
assisted by the other physicians
named, I called upon him for an
oxplanation. He said: “I wrote a-
report of the case,stating distinctly
that the tumor was removed by
Dr. J. B. Hinkle, nsssisted by Drs.
Westbrook and Harrison, of Andcr-
sonvilie, and Dr. Raines, ol this
city. I showed the article to Col.
Hancock, who 1 objecred to having
your name appear in the paper.”
At the suggestion oi the Judge 1
saw Mr. Kimbrough, n compositor
on tho Republican, who said: “I
set up tbc article as it was written
by Judge WnVrcn with your nninc
in it. The proof was corrected by
Col. Hancock, wli* struck out your
name and changed it to rend as it
appeared in tlic paper this morn-
nig.”
Now, while I do not attach much
importance to my action in this
operation, having,as is will known,
performed many requiring a far
greater exhibition of .anatomical
knowledge and surgic&l skill, and
while 1 take much pleftsuro in thus
publicly acknowledging my obliga
tions to my friends Drs. Westbrook,
Harrison and Kaincs for their val
uable assistance, I feel constrained
to notice the editorial; simply to
show the mean and coWa'illy spirit
of Col. Hancock in wilfully and
maliciously misrepresenting wbat
he knew to be the facts in the case.
At the same time 1 am aware that
this wilful perversion'of the truth
is so characteristic of the man as
not to excite any surprise among
those who know him.
J. B. Hinki.e.
I was present at the intcr-vinw
between Dr. J. B. Hinkle, Judge
K. J. Warren and Mr. Kimbrough,
and the above statement of I)r.
Hinkle in exactly wlmt occurred at
said interview. S. Rogers.
