HOWELL GIVES BITTER REPLY TO HOKE SMITH Contlned from Page One. related .to one,of-his opponents In a ItllUltlU lu OUQkOL >’* political campaign. Patience baa ceased to be a virtue and my self-respect makes further for bearance Impossible. 1 feel sure that In the course of his cowardly crusade I have had th* good will of every good citizen of this state who Is personally well acquainted with either Mr. Smith or myself. Those who do not know* either of us should be Informed at to tpe real character of tho blatant bully who has, through no fault of my own, made me the constant target of his malicious In nuendoes. The -first time I ever heard of him, hla name was. reeking with the slime of so foul a scandal that fond mothers Stopped their daughters’ ears when hie name was uttered and Idle schoolboys, vying with one another In vulgarity wrote that name on back fencea and outbuildings. From tbat day to this hie name has: been the synonym of selfishness, du plicity, hypocrisy and cowardice. He has not hesitated to slander his superiors ' whenever that course could be made to serve hla purposes, and In every case has evaded responsibility by recourse to shameless subterfuges. Today he stands branded In the col umns of the public press and In private letters, by eminent cttlsen* of Geor- la who nave exhausted the range of _ngllsh adjectives from razor-back to hypocrite, and from character assassin to common liar. In their efforts to cor rectly characterize this swaggering swashbuckler with whom no man's reputation Is considered sacred. There Is not a member of his own profession, who la familiar with his methods, who does not. In his heart, hold him responsible for unfortunate conditions that have followed hi* per nicious example, and few men In hie own community would trust his loyalty or fidelity with hie own selfish Interest at stake. I am Indeed sorry to tire the patience of the public In presenting this picture of the miserable mountebank who has sought to Impose upon their credulity by sowing secret poison and broadcast ing whispered threat* against me, among the people with whom I have sought to lead a peaceful life tqr forty years. No pen can paint the pitiful picture of this captious charlatan who has never In his life been consistent save in the discord he has sown and the ruin he haa wrought. I will not further pursue the effort of portrayal. Those of the public who continue to hold interest in the Dempsey case can read the sworn allegation* of Mr. Dempsey which are on file In the office of the clerk of the city court of At- lanta. ■ If these sworn statement* are true, as the affidavit of Mr. Dempsey seem* to assure, then the apparition of shack le* and stripes conjured up by the seared conscience of Mr. Smith Is easi ly to be accounted for, and there la substance In the phantom formed from hla frantic fancy. Respectfully, ALBERT HOWELL, Jr. October, 1902, he employed Hoke Smith as attorney to collect a claim for dam- ages'agafnst the W. & A. railroad, the agreement being that he was to give up 20. per cent of the settlement as at torney’s fee. About June 1, 1901, he sets-forth, he was summoned by Mr. Smith and told that he could get a settlement of *2,600, but no more, and Mr. Smith advised him to accept It. Thereupon he agreed. Tatter, he says, Mr. Smith had him execute a voucher of the W. 6b A. rail road for *2,600 In consummation of ths settlement. Then, he sots forth, Mr. Smith took possession of the vouoher and endeav ored to settle with Dempsey by paying him two-thirds of the amount, retain ing ons-thtrd as fee. But after a lengthy argument, he says, agreed that he was entitled to only one-fifth and gave Dempsey n check for *1,419.16. Then, he says, ha afterwards learned that his attorney had proposed to set tle for *>,000 and not for any sum less until after ho had come to terms of agreement with Dempsey as to fee. Then the petition sets forth: 18. Your petitioner shows that his at torney, In offering to the representa tives of eald railroad company to set tle his claim for the sum of *1,600 at tached the condition that two other claims against said company In favor of parties represented by the said Hok* Smith should also be sattlad at th* same time, so that the aggregate sum to be paid by the railroad company In settlement of the three claims would amount to approximately *1,000. 17. Your petitioner says that h hla at torney did not at any time communicate or Intimate to him that this proposition had been made to the railroad company or accepted by It* representatives or that the rights of your petitioner were, In any way, connected with, or depend ent upon, the right* or Interests of any other client represented by said attor ney.

Leaving out the returns of the Sea board Air Lino, which will probably require an arbitration to finally settle, the'total return of railroad property In Georgia show* an Increase of *6,748,182 over 1906. The totals for 1905 were *11,017,994 and for 1906 288,788,188. If the In crease of *477,000 on the Seaboard’s returns levied by the comptroller gen eral, la allowed, It will make the In crease for 1906 *8,25,192. As yet no agreement has been reach ed with the Seaboard regarding Its re turns. Local officials held a confer ence with Comptroller Wnjht Satur day morning, but no definite under standing was reached. General Wright notified the parties that further con ferences were unnecessary, and that It hud simply resolved Itself Into a ques tion aa to whether the Seaboard would or would not accept his assessment.

In this suit Mr. Dempsey seeks to recover the.sum of 2809, with Interest from June 4, 1902, alleged to ba due from a settlement Mr. Smith effected for him with the West- era and Atlantic railway aa the result a damage cult. by said attorney, but that said compa ny refused to consolidate said settle ment* In the manner proposed and re quired eald attorney to obtain the ex ecution of separate vouchers In favor of each of said client*. 19. Your petitioner says that his at torney, thereupon, directed the repre sentatives of said railroad company to prepare a voucher for 9.1,800 In favor of your petitioner and separata vouchers for hi# other two clients for the re maining sum Involved In the settle ment. Your petitioner say* that this afforded to the representative* of said railroad company their first Intimation that It was th* purpose and Intention of said attorney to apportion to your petitioner the sum of only 12,600 In set tlement of hie claim for damage*. The petitioner then sen forth that "when he discovered the true condi tion" he wrote a letter to Hoke Smith asking about 11, but that Mr. Smith, instead of replying, caused an attache of tha office to seek a personal Inter- Vl Another letter, he set* forth, drew the response that on January 21, 1908, Mr. Smith would leave th* city to be gone a week and would, upon his re turn, take up the matter again, 22. Since that time, the petition goes on, your petitioner ha* received no further direct communication from Mr. Smith aa promised In his letter, but Shortly afterward* one Frank M. Hughes, an attorney at law. called upon your petitioner at bis brother’s resi dence. stating that he was a warm per- sons! friend of petitioner's attorney, Hoke Smith, and that he wanted to get all of the fact* alth reference to your g itmoner's claim against the said Hoke mlth, stating that he coyld get your petitioner’s money from the said Hoke 24. This visit following the letter from Mr. Smith, which stated that be, Smith, would take the matter up again the city, and your petitioner hearing nothing from the said Hoke Smith, through any other medium, believed and still believe* that the Attorney Hughes was sent to him by the said Hoke Smith, and your petitioner con fidently and continuously expected that a prompt settlement -of his claim against the said Hoke Smith would follow said visit, but that, on the con trary, very recently the said Attorney Hughes has undertaken to persuade and Induce your petitioner to release and abandon his claim against said Hoke Smith, and when your petitioner refused so to do, threstened your peti tioner with arrest and prosecution. 26. Your petitioner say* that the con duct of the said Hoke Smith in en cumbering his claim against said rail road company with other claims, repre sented by said attorney, without th* .knowledge of your petitioner, and the conduct of said attorney In keeping your petitioner In Ignorance of the of fer of settlement of your petitioner's claim, under said condition* for 11,600, and in withholding from your petition er the agreement of said Western and Atlantic Railroad Company to settle said case, under the circumstances above detailed, constitutes a breach of faith amounting to a legal fraud upon your petitioner, who saye, that In law and good morals he Is entitled to re cover the sum of 91.000, for which said attorney proposed to settle the claim of your petitioner, less *200 at torney’s fees, and for which said claim could have been settled with said com pany without Involving the rights of your petitioner with the Interests of other clients of said attorney.
