| Show the replies editor of the last night my attention was called to an article in your paper of march 13 1888 entitled A springville Spring ville prodigy As said article contains several false statements I 1 hope yon will giva me a chance to defend myself said article states after a areat deal of rambling without any ind of argument the majority of the people got this is untrue unless a great amount of evidence against a criminal can be called rambling As for argument that did not take place until the next night when there is clear and abundant testimony given in evidence much argument is not needed instead of silence gives consent I 1 was asked if the lecture would continue next night tho article says then the springville Spring ville prodigy never proved what he intended to at starting out this is false as I 1 gave more than sufficient evidence if you sat as judge on a case of forgery of a baulk check and one half the evidence I 1 brought against sidney bigdon was given in that case you would convict him of forgery the article also said that ho was merely feeling around this is not true I 1 staled in answer to a question 1 feel very much like a child that has been burnt but as soon as I 1 can find a church that I 1 can place full confidence in 1 will join it but I 1 realize that no church can save me as in jeans christ alone is salvation C E april |
