Chicago, June 21^—While Richard

life on earth In a county Jail cell,

and asking her to marry him.
While Iven* sat mute In his prison

sweetheart,' was found weeping de
spondently In her home In Halsted
street today.
“I know he is Innocent," she moaned.
"He Is being murdered. They are tak
ing him away from me because they
do not care whether he lives or not."
In her hand the young woman held a
letter she bad just received from Jvens.
It was a final farewell. In It he told
of his hopelessness of a further appeal
for a stay and bid her goodby.
"He says he did not commit that aw
ful crime," the girl wept, "and I be
lieve him. He would not have written
In this way If he was guilty. I have
doxens of letters from him, and no
matter what else he had to say, he al
ways Insisted that he was clear of
conscience. I saw him often at the
II and his manner convinced me that
was telling me the truth.”

replying In general to attacks made on

recent speech In that city. A copy of
the letter was matted to The Atlanta
Georgian, but Ita transmission was In
soma manner delayed, so that It failed
to appear In this newspaper when pub
lished by other Atlanta newspapers.
Following It* determlneil policy of fair
ness nnd Impartiality to all those In
volved or Interested In the camtuilgn,
i -raisin w im« Ju.lxe M. w m-i
tar's letter, despite Its lateness, as fol
lows:
'Athens, Ga, June 18, 1908.—H. J.
Rowe, Athens, Ga.—My Dear Mr.
Bowe: I have read your editorial notice
of Hoke Smith's speech In Athens on
Saturday afternoon, In which you refer
to his attm-k on mo and others, and
hfs persistent effort to raise for cam
paign purposes what has been termed
the -bugaboo' of railroad domination.
"As I am a toil alo citizen ami not o

frained from replying to tlieso unpro
voked titlarks for campaign purposes
to Influence him to vote for or against
either candidate.
"After Mr. West was elected I did
I a) MB him to appoint any senator as
chnlrman of any committee or to as-
algn any senator to any committee oi
to do anything else In favor of my
frtende, myself or my client, and If
this statement Is not absolutely true
Mr. West will disaffirm It.
"In Mr. Morris' contest for speaker,
I Joined his other friends in supporting
him. I did It openly and frankly. They
hod been my friends when I was a can
didate for offlee—I appreciated at the
time their support and naturally felt,
ha any other candidate would feel,
personal sense of grateful obllgatlc
and therefore for supporting him
have no explanation or apology
make, because I would do the same
thing again, for the man who deserts,
without cause, his friends In the time
of need does not deserve a friend and
should not have one long.
"After Mr. Morris' election, however,
I did not request th* appointment of
any member as chairman of any com
mittee or request the assignment of
■■■■■■ ‘ sr to any committee or re-
Morris to do anything else
In favor of mystlf, my friends or my
client.

in this connection Hoke Smith In I
dulges In a contemptible by-play to
Impugn my motives In supporting Mr,
Morris, which he knows I* false.
“He quotes me as saying That the
railroads elected Morris, but did not
declare any dividends on It.'
"There la Just enough truth In this
"ss asa* ....aa»jajsts±
My neighbors and those who know
me are aware of the fact that I have
not participated or taken any active
part In the pending gubernatorial cam
paign, and up to this data I have neith
er Influenced or sought to Influence
any friend to vote for or agalnet either
candidate.
"In aplte of this fact, however, Hoke
Smith, os a part of his campaign
scheme of alleged railroad domination,
has fabricated and exsggsrated my
relation with others to It by slanders
and Insinuations, both false and con
temptible.
Smith’s Methods Thos* of Thug.
“But bis references, so far as I am
aware, have always been vague and
Indefinite, though false and exagger
ated, that no fitting reply could have
been made except to have denounced
It as ths method of the thug and the
charrter of an assassin, which no brave
and honorable man would adopt, and
therefore over the protest of my
friends, I have remained silent, assum
ing that a sens* of decency would ulti
mately restrain him, but In view of bis
attack on Saturday In the city of my
residence, forbearance ceases to be a
virtue and I feel constrained there
fore, to make the following personal
statement:
"For the past eleven years I have
represented the Southern Railway
Company, first a« advisory counsel for
GeorgTo, ami more recently as assist

now recall It—to Hon. 8. S. Miller, fo

‘that he need not talk so big—that

elected him,' oi* words to that effect,
and as I walked up he turned and re
marked, ‘Wbat about that?*

In conjunction with thrf other del*

,t* from (h* stats at tart., yet a* I
il not get him Into th* race, but be
lieved he was going to be elected, i
did not see (It to advise him to retire
from such contest, especially as such
course Involved the desertion of a life-
riend, and therefore I gave Hoke
s letter and scheme no further
thought and consideration.
“It will be noted that at the time
Hok* Smith sought this conference
and my support I was a member of
the state Democratic executive com
mittee, and to my appointment Hok*
Smith had In part contributed—but
which he now pretends to be awful—
at that time I had been tendered by
Governor Terrell tbe position of asso
ciate Justice of the supreme court end
hsd declined It—which Hoke Smith
then well knew, but which he now
parades as proof rank of corporation
domination—at that time I had sup-
>ortod Mr. Morris for speaker and he
■ad served hi* term of office, which
Hok* Smith then well knew—at that
time I was %nd had been for about
nine year* advisory counsel of th*
Southern Railway—at that time every
fact about me to which, for campaign
itoarpoees, he now refers and seek* tv
Vxsggsrate, distort and falsify, then
' existed, but, st that time, he was not
peddling hi* Democracy tor Populist
vote* and prostituting Che Democratic
party for any Populist applause, and,
therefore, at that time, he was very
anxious" to confer with me on a sub
ject 'of mutual Interest to us' and was
'sincerely yours, Hoke Smith.'
‘Th* mere statement of the facts Is
sufficient to demonstrate that his ex
sggsrated attack on ma at this time to
stnrs his political ends Is mere mss
qusrade and mocks hla transparent
-f-convlct*d duplicity,
lew or all the facts and clrcum
stances, therefore, I feel. In conclusion,
constrained to say that so far as I am
concerned, Hoke Smith In hf* lust for
office has degenerated from a self-
constructed and cunning anti-railroad
'scarecrow' Into a designing and un
blushing campaign slanderer—design
Ing because it Is a part and parcel ».
hi* preconceived scheme to serve his
own aelflsh purpose—and unblushing
because „e does not seem to be re
strained by s sufficient trace of sin
cerity or decency to feel a sense of
