. THE MACON TELEGRAPH: SATURDAY CORNING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1894. 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.

I told him that tf he buoy, on the sidewalk and he wijuld at tend to him. pistol and ell. Mr.feloumt, 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, the Dally Preaa of'i\Uljn't;i,..published n letter In ah article, entitled TA« Men •Whb Control.', , .. • • .V Thl3 article which, Mr. Bloim’t wall was printed in Vhe;Tale(piiipti in -fun. witii edftortil cbipmoait. Mr. Blount continued: >■ v 's “I did not believe.that the -Press com ments were Inspired-by Mr. Poe. nor did. I believe that he procured for un Ononymous odmnumUmlon', especially sudh an one as.this, seriousItroat’mer.'i. «nd so after weighing tho nvatv.T, I •V ills missed rt from my mind, feeling Chat tho young Democrats of Bibb county could stand Mr.. Wakson'.s attacks If they were nil as unprovoked, ns this. 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 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.
