BLOUNT STRUCK
JUDGE POE
President of tBo. Young Men'* Demo
cratic Club Resented an Imputation
About Anonymous Letters.
TOLD TO THE RECORDER
Sir. Blonnt Shows That tie Had Only
• This Rtcourso Left In Order to
Vindicate Himself From
7 Onjnst Insinuations.
' Mr. Jamea H. Blount, Jr., was tried
before Recorder Freeman yesterday on
a charge of fightlna and carrying con
cealed weapons. The fighting consisted
of striking Judge W. '4."Poe and then
when Judge Poe .resented the blow by
starting for Mr. Ijtjount with a haitchet'
he drew a pUstoV and threatened to
shoot if he came nearer. That was
what was developed at the trial.
The oauses which led up to the diffi
culty were developed In the trial and
grew out;of the anonymous layer' al
leged to have been written .by .some
member <5t the Young Men's -Demo
cratic Club and Pr)atel-by Judge Poe
In the Atlanta Press. /
Judge Freeman had .disposed of all
the usual business of the court before
he called thd.case against 6fr. Blount,
and It was nearly noon when the wit
nesses were sworn. There was a num
ber of prominent citizens present in the
court room and they listened with In
terest to -the eixpmoxp?* Jlr; Blount was
represented tfcr* 'Mr, afwitbiiiiGuerry,
while Judge Poe was not -'rj^rjbsented
by counsel. - r
The Judge Hast told about the fight.
His story was substantially as follows:
Mr. Blount had come to his house, on
Wednesday morning. He was at the
time hi a room in tne basement, which
he used att a sort of ofllce. He invited
Mr. Blount to come In. which he.did.
but declined to lake a seat. Mr. Blount
asked him if he had been to gentlemen
Jn Macon asking them to Compare the
handwriting lit the anonymous letter
received by hirtt purporting' to be Writ
ten by a member of the Young Men’s
Democratic Club. He replied that he
had. That he had submitted the writ
ing to thirty gentlemen and a large
proportion of them had eald that there
was such a marked similarity that the
papers had evidently been written by
the same party. Oihens noticed a sim
ilarity, but were not so emphatic in
their views, while a few had said they
could see no similarity.
iMr. Blount had then demanded of
—Aim a statement to the effect that he.
Judge Poe. did not believe he had writ
ten the document. He had replied to
Mr, Blount that he was willing to give
him the benefit of the doubt. Mr.
Blount then- struok him a light blow on
the face. He at once secured a hatchet
which was in the room and started for
Mr. Blount, who. he said, rushed out of
th? room, with he after him. When
Mr. Blount reached the middle of the
little park ,Joining tho sidewalk he
stopped, drew a pistol and threatened
to shoot if Judgp poe didn't stip. He

however, declined the invltatiSn and
walked away. l
Tha next witness was In a street car
which was on the switch when the trou
ble occurred. He saw Mr. Blount in
the middle bf the grass plot with some
thing resembling a pistol. He did not
see Judge Poe. as- some trees Inter
vened. He would have seen him had,
he been in ten feet of Mr. Blount. 7
A negro woman testified that she savf
Mr. Blount In the street with a pistol
In his hand. This closed the testimony
ior the prosecution. 7
Mr. Blount then took the stand and
gave his statement of the affair, which
wd? substantially as fbllows:
Durfg the first ken days of -this
month I heard occasionally ithnt letters
■uwre being received through tho mails
directed to different members of the
. Populist party, signed 'Y. M. D. C.,’
One, a podral card, was shown, to me
while walking down town .after dinner
ono day by Mr. Iverson Harris, who.
Chough he is a Fqpullst, Is a neighbor
of mine, a kfnSman and nn i net mate
personal friend.' ■ This card referred in
scurrilous terms-to my first teacher In
the Iw and personal friend, Mr. Whi
ter B. Hilt, anil ehnUatrUy toMr. Har
ris, hhe recipient of thii card.
“Soon after-Otis Mr.-Watson's paper,

tA week ago, laite in the afternoon
Of Frfduy, the 14th of September, 1 was
standing 1n 'the door Of my office when
Mr. Poe paused by. I said: 'Judge, do
you believe that A-ny member of the
-Young Men’s Democratic Club vrrdle
that card 'that they arc calking about
bo much?’ -. -
“He promptly and very frankly oald:
•No. I do nett' I add, 'Will you give me
a wrhten statement to that effect?' He
eald. 'Yes.' So he came Op stairs wl-h
me. sat-ok my desk And wrote the fol
lowing card, which appeared fa the
Telegraph of September 15. hist Sat
urday: ' -
“Macon, Gs., Sept. It, 1834.—Jnmes
H. Blount. Jr., Krq., President Young
Men’s Democratic Club-Dear sir: As
pet your request, I have no hetftancy
Jn saying that the anonymous letter
addressed ho me and published by my
authority in the Dally Press of 8fj<:em
ber 11, I now believe was no; written
by authority of the Young Men's Dem
ocratic Club, or by nod with the knowl
edge and consent of any one In auahor-
f:y. Yours truly, W. A. Poe.”
“He gave me this letter, and In so
doing asked me what I wanted it for.
I replied for publication.
"He eiid, "Bet me take a copy #,f it
then?"
VI -handed It back to him for that
Purpose. He hud previously Wasted that
he was feeling badly. So I said, as he
hook up the pen to write: ‘Let me <] >
that for you?' which I did. I gave him
the dopy of hts disclaimer in my Iraod-
wrhhig, and the original appeared (n
the Telegraph of Bepiember IS. In the
Telegraph of September 18 there sp-
r-ared a curd from Mr. Poe •
(A portion of rise card which touched
on the point at issue. Then oan Jnuing
baM:
“About 10 o’clock on Wednesday
morning last, the Ikh 1 resent, which
hm day before yesterday. Hon. Hope
Folhlll toU -me that Mr. Poe waa going
around lnstnuaUag 'out I oriole th-
BcurfWous card that 'was sent 'to him,
Sir. Poe. The substunce of what Mr.
Pole 111 -told ime is as follows: That Sir.
IVe showed him two algriJ'lures and
invited comporleon: that FoJh-Ml sow
Borne similarity and said: ‘I know
whom you refer to.' Poe said, 'Yes, ho
aid mum Jim Blount. The. Ink signa
ture was tended down at first.'
•■Soar, afler this my father happened
Into my office, and I told trim of what
Sir. Polhlll had said to mo. He then
related a conversation he hod hud with
Mr. A. R. Ttnrley several day's before.
I went ho Mr. Tinsley at once and
asked him to repeat his conversation
■with Mr.' Poe. It was substantially
that Poe had showed him two signa
tures, 'W. A. Poe,' one on an cnve.ope
In pencil: one In ink attached to a let
ter, and had invited Comparison, and
ihe found a similarity.
"I then went to Mr. Iverson Harris'
offloe and had a talk with him. He
said he would go by Mr. Poe’a house
and find out what Mr. Poe had bean
doing In the matter. After supper that
eame Wednesday night Mr. Harris
cams to my home and told me that Mr.
Poe had been informed by him of my
Intense indignation and admitted that
he had been going around comparing
my copy of hie dluclalmer with the scur
rilous cards, and that twenty-three out
of twenty-eight persons had agreed that
the handwritings were the same or very
similar. „
“Mr. Harris then stated that Mr. Poe
had before shown to him and his broth
er. -M. W. Harris, the scurrilous card In
pencil and a sample of penmanship,
presumably my copy of his disclaimer,
and had lnvtted a comparison. The
Harrises, without knowing who wrote
the Ink sample, stated they eaw nb sim
ilarity.. My mind then recurred to the
folding down of the signature ‘w. A.
Poe.' as narrated by Messre. Polhlll end
Tinsley.
“Next morning, which was yesterday.,
I went to -Mr. Poe's residence, and aa
the door was open. I Inquired If be waa
In. Just as -the answer .In the affirma
tive jvaamade I heard a window open
lit I f hfe 7 basement. Which la his ofllce.
and Mr. Poe, looklng;0ut, said: 'dome
down here.' 1 went, mindful that ho
was on notice from Mr, Harris of my
state of mind, and we sat facing each
other at his table. He seated himself
first, and. pointing to a chair between
him and the door, said: ‘Sit down.’ I
accepted. I stated iwhat 1 heard that
he bod been doing and asked him If It
waa true. He answered in substance
that he had been oomparing my copy
of his disclaimer with the scurrilous
cards, seeking to fix -the authorship
upon me. . ...
“My manner from the first of the In
terview had been both excited and ag
gressive. A change came over me for
the moment, and I said earnestly: ‘Mr.
Poe, batween you and mo and our God
you know I did not write those dirty
little anonymous cards, don't you?'
“He satd: 'I don't think you'—then
changing his tone, 'you ought to, If
you did.' Upon this I demanded nn
absolute retraction. He said that while
the handwritings were similar he was
willing to give me the benefit of the
doubt, whereunon I struok him.
“I knew that the conversation with
Mr. Iverefcn Harris the night before
had hut Mr. Foe on notice of my state
of mind. I believed that he, as a reas
onable man. would anticipate a difficul
ty of some sort after that. My -purpose
when I went in was to demand a re
traction: then If he refused to slap his
Jaws, or something of that sort, step
outside on -the open sidewalk and have
tt out there, fair fist and scull If he
drew no weapon, but ready for him
even If he did. -He did- not choose a
fisticuff, but came eft me with an up-
Cffvanced another 6tep with that hatch
et I would kill him. which I meant. He
then lowered his hatchet to his side,
fell back a ©ace or two and stood still,
apparently abandoning the difficulty for
that bcoaston at least: and tolling me
that he would- prosecute me for carry
ing concealed weapons. I,put my pis
tol In m.v poc.ket and walked away. If
he called to me to oome back If was
wfeen I got away down the street. Ex
cept this, his statement Is substantially
correct.
"Of counse I know nothing of the
anonymous card."
(An adlournment was then taken un-
tl 1 3 ioclock, when- tho case was
Tesumeu.
Mr. Guerry. representing Mr. Blount,
stated that he find witnesses to prove
that Judge Poe had been to a number
of gentlemen anvl got thVm no compare
the various letters mentioned, but in
asmuch as the Judge had admitted this,
•ho would oios the ease uni as? somo new
new point wub raised’.
Judge Poe said tha't he Had no desire
to -appear In this case as tl prosecutor
sand Intended to bring no new points
up. He bad lived In Macon for many
years amt had during -his residence
here never, done a mean or dishonor
able option.
Mr. Guerry summed up the case in a
Strong speedh. He disclaimed any in
dention of tmpun-glng Judge Poe's mo
tives in this malrter, but be Had done
wrong. He had made no specific
charge wbloh Sir. Blount could moot
fairly and openly, but had sought to
create tfhe'Impression, whCn Mr. Blount
Had no opportunity to defend hlmiecf,
tixtt be was 'the author of -letters which
must 'have been written either by a
knavo or a fool; a knave If writton
by a Populist, a fool If by a Democrae.
Ho honorable man could Have rented
■Hern urider such a condition of affairs,
and Mr. Blount hodi taken the only
course open to him. Ho hil gone to see
Judge Poe, and In a quiet, conservative
. way asked him bo clear him of Che
cloud which Judge Foe's action had
tended to cast over Mm, He was met
with sdded hmift, which he rescn'tcil.
Judge Poe was a man-of unquestioned
courage, anil when Mr. Blount bid
gone to him on that -errand, whl e he
Sought -nb fight, was very properly pre
pared for emergencies. After the blow
was struck. Mr. Bi-iun: -had retired to
the sM-erwahk to mad Judge Poo wIM

piiDjl and told him to stop, which the
judge did, sled phut ended bhe personal
difficulty. Mr. Guerry did not believe
that tiny man In Bibb county would
have tufted otherwise th-Jo Mr. Bloun t
dM under t-h“ dreunwo-eem.
After Mr. Guerry had fltrtshej
tng, JiSige Freeman implied a fine of
