From Saturday’s Lancaster Ex-
aminer.
The New Fra seems to be talking
itself very seriously when it talks
about me. It makes the charge
that I robbed the county several
years ago when I was sheriff. 1
wish to say while I held that office
I had Judge Landis, brother of
Jimmy Landis, the editor (God pity
our people) of the New Era, for my
lawyer to adyise me. When I step-
ped out of the office he congratulat
ed men upen the clean, houest busi-
ness character of my administration
and made it a poiut to say I came
out of the trying duties of the office
in such splendid shape bscause 1
was willing to cousult him and
always ready to follow legal coursel.
Now all I have to say is this. If
I was robbing the county, Judge
Landis knew it then and has known
it ever since, and if he has been
keeping it in the meantime from the
public until now, heis not a safe
man to sit on the Bench in our courts
of justice, For if the charge is true
I should be under arrest and Judge
Landis should be impeached.
Will the New Era ask the judge
to tell what he about the
robbing, which, it says, I was doing
under his instructions, that our
people may know if I am guilty or
if ghe New Era is lying?
