McBeath Case Tho conduct ot H. C. Kennedy in connection with the Jordan McBeath land case is so thuroui(hlyout of harmony with correct and honest denling that it at o'neo brands him as absolutely unlit for public office of any sort, in lull less the hiijh otrhe of Circuit Judge He, as the evidence in tbU rocord shows , went to the humble home of this old colored man, sevon or eight miles from Moiuicello, and procured the signature of hTmself and wife to a deed which convey ed their little home and farm of 71 acres to Kenn-dy, by pretond ing to them that the deed- was a mortgage Tho consideration that, passed was $30.31, and, to tho surprise of nil, ho tried to take the farm from the old darkies, and tfio case finally landed In the Court ot Appeals, where the coirt of last resort held that it would bo ap pressivoand unjust to allow this transaction to stand. All the proof in ibe casu showed thec tho farm was worth $500 00 or $600.00. Note what the attorneys of these colored folks hud to suy in their legal urKuement before tho Court of Appeals in this case: "We now ask you, Judgo Konnedv, to explain to this court why you went there alone, took tho acknowledgment yourselr as Notary Public? When if you did not intended to put one over on those old darkles, wty dkl you not tku some Clerk or Notary with you, and let him explain the nature and effect of these papors? Does not his conduct in refusing to answer the letters of Honry McUi-ath and his evasive answer of Decombor 17th, only nine days bt-lore the six moolhs for redemption expire, and, the fact tint he hist;ned to convey the land of his father-in-law after Deeember 26 ioi2, all argue strongly the reason wuy. he went there by hi in self and took this acknowledgment? Judgo Kennedy is a lawyer. Wo charge he knew that for him to take the acknowledgment of those old people to a deed to himself was an unusual thing and would create at ltfast a suspicion that something was wrong. Then why if this transaction w.is to bo fully understood by these Md ignorant darkU, did you not get some qno to accompany you, and if not take the acknowledgment for you then bu'ablo to bear yon witnesses than you had fairly und fully ex plained tho transaction to thirar" Somerset Commonwealth. denv it. This is all, most-people would requiro to prove him un fit for tho office of Circuit Judgo. Mr Brown is doiug the distiict a real service by exposing the true nature of this man Kennedy Kepublioans, come to Somerset on the- 30th or July (next Satur dny) and hear Drown expose the true lite of H. C Oennedy. Ho knows all and will tell it Hon.J.Austin Brown Hon. J. Austin Drown, in his Bpeeoh at WilmOt's Chapel In ltockcastle said in part: I don't presume you havo ever beard of much of jthe terpe tudo connected with tho life and history of Judjre Kennedy, and yet you should know all that it Is possible for you to know about him huforo you cist your vote ot the cotnlug primary election.
