Informant was Ignorant of the fat-is In the case or misrepresented It we flrn linntiln in ntntn Itln flrnt mlRtnkn was In stating that Mrs. Johnson was Doc Carter's sister and Mies Ada, his nloco. In fact there Is no relationship existing betweon Mr. Carter and Miss Ada Johnson. Mr. Johnson, .iiiBB ivua a miner, la iuriui d nephew. Ho next says he lived near Pauls Valloy, and tho truth Is ho re sides threo miles south of White Bead on tho farm of J. K. Burch, Jr. Then ho spoke of Cartor's wife mailing him letters, when everybody In this community knowa Doc Cnrter's wlfo has been dead for a numbor of years. Ho further states that lottors woro mailed at Pauls Valloy and then at Whlto Bead with tho "hope that no one at Pauls Valley would over Bee thorn. Thoro was never any attempt made to conceal hlK whereabouts. Letters woro mailed horo bynls daughter, Mrs. Jason McCluro and addressed to Mr. Cartor at McCrackon, Kansas. Ho calls tho crime a diabolical one and says In splto of all ho accomplished his aim, which Is the worst and most I damaging statolncnt mado In tho 1 wholo nrtlclo. Mr. Cartor nover In tended to evade Alio officers his Inten tions were to Icavo tho vicinity of Mc Millan for a fow montliB and then como In and glvo up for trial. Ho had no Intentions of not returning. All he was waiting on was public opinion to dlo down and thta roturn and face tho charge. Mr. Carter has lived In this community for years, was former ly In tho morcantllo business at Bra dy, I. T., whoro ho conducted a prof itable business for years. Ho has many friends In this community, who not boliovo bo Is guilty of tho charge against him, and have no doubt but that when tho final trial comes oft ho will bo turned lose.
