10 WATSON 15 D. K., BLOCK POWER CO. MDHm SHOTGUNS Denounces Mercer's Attack as Entirely False, and Asserts All Are Content. John F. Stoudenmire. of Flint. Ga... whose wife is one of the heirs of the Boyd estate, which State Game and Fish Commissioner Jesse Mercer ac cuses Thomas E. Watson of looting in a ‘fake” lawsuit for a mere fee, has come to the defense of the "red-headed person," He declares Mr. Vt atson’s connection with the settlement of that estate was entirely satisfactory to the Boyd heirs, and that the only grievance those heirs have against anybody is against Mercer himself. Commissioner Mercer became very much worked up over the alleged wrongs Watson has inflicted upon- the Royd heirs and Watson's law partner. Green, now deceased, and threatened publicly to make Watson right said wrongs, or stand for a "cowhiding" at the hands of Mercer. Watson promptly denied all wrong doing and said that but for the law suit he did bring against M< rcer, who happened to be one of the Boyd estate executors, the heirs would have been left high and dry with practically nothing, and that, as it was. he forced Mercer to “disgorge" 118,000. Hands One to Mercer. Now comes Stoudenmlre, husband of one of the Boyd heirs, and. speaking for hfs wife and several other heirs, upholds Watson against Mercer, inci dentally handing Mercer a pretty straight line of talk Mr. Stoudentnfre says: As my wife is one of the heirs referred -to by Jesse Mercer. I con sider his tlirust a direct insult to these heirs referred to, as well as to Mr. Watson. As to Watson and Green "in ducing and luring" us into the law suit, the charge is absolutely false and there is not a word of truth in it. Mrs. H. L. West, then of Cottonton, Ala, but now of Rich land. Ga. fired the first gun in opening said lawsuit. She wrote Mr. Watson, asking him in regard to representing her. About the same time I was communicating with John Mercer in regard to my wife's part of the estate. I told Mr. Mercer that we needed our money and that we wanted it. lie wrote that he didn't doubt that we needed it. but that we couldn’t get it, About this time, 1 received a letter from Mrs. West, stating what she was doing, and asked me what I thought about it. We got busy and employed Watson and Green to represent us Messrs. Watson and Green treat us nicely, and we were satisfied with the service they rendered, but we have not been and are not sat isfied with the treatment received at the hands of John and Jesse Mercer. in regard to Mr. Watson “steal ing" the fee of Mr. Green, I don’t believe there is a word of truth in it. Mr. Green arranged the set tlement himself. in the meantime, advice from Thom son. the house of the "red-headed per son," Is to the effect that Watson has not yet been ’cowhided” by Mercer, or anybody else, and Is not in the letter afraid that he will be.

TURNERSVILLE, GA.. June 21. Armed with shotguns, Dr. B. B. Htrib lin and George T. Striblln are today defying the Georgia Railway & Power Company to erect its transmission wiles from the Tallulah Falls power plant to Atlanta over their property, near here. Meanwhile a foreman and construction gang are idle. The foreman says; "We take their word that they will shoot." The Striblins have asked an Injunc tion to prohibit the company from erecting its wires fiver their land and are relying on the shotgun defense un til the courts act. .Some time ago the power company 's right-of-way agents negotiated with the Stribling for right-of-way over their property for the transmission lines. The Striblins entered into an agreement, with certain reservations, the contract to be signed the next day In the meantime the property was deed ed to minor children. Before signing the contract the Striblins notified the power company's representatives of this deed, and with this knowledge the con tract was signed. More recently the Striblins have erecting a manufacturing plant on the land and are contending that one cor poration can not condemn property held by another corporation for right of-way. The power company paid a cash consideration of $250 at the time the contract was entered Into. The company fa out this amount until the courts decide the case. DIAMOND FROM KIMBERLY IS SHOWN BY E. V.
