plac; In your paper it will throw fome odium off a conftant reader, who is of courfe an admirer of the inductions of your paPcr , ... I lately discovered a communication in vour paper fram Kafoafkia, dated April laft, which lets forth the acquittal of mr. Jones at the general court held at that place. It appears that it would be but fair as far as the communication goes to give the public the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth it is not the cafe by the communication alluded to in many inftances however, I mean to confine myfelf to that only which relates to my deft nce-one? article flates that the " profccution was brought on in June laft, fupported by Samuel Jackaway, and collaterally fupported by myfelf, col. Edgar, and William Morrifon 1 have no doubt but
"you, mr. Communicator, was prefent at the examination, and heard Jacka way's character, well fupported by the teftimony of Robert Cox ai.d John Beaird, you and I both know, that the charge was originally fupported by doctor Truman Tuttle, from its commencement to the end. Thefe laft threegentlemen you omitted, and I know they are not of the land jobbing tribe the latter actuated "By" the dictates of juftice, notwitbftanding he was bound in the ftrong ties of confanguinity'td the unfortunate man who gave, the mortal blow which gave rife to the profecution in qucftion of col. Jones. The communication goes to ftate the
character and Handing of the witnefles
as for Samuel Jackaway, I know but little about him and as for J. Edgar and Wm.
Morrison Esqrs. their reputation and stand-
ing in fociety, is in a fphere far above the reach of any calumny offered by the com munication alluded to.
He ftates that "it will fuffice to fay,
that feventeen indictments was found a-
gainft Robert Reynolds, at one court for
forgery, and were difmiffed on their infor
mality," the truth is, as it has appeared, that thefe hoft of indictments was procured
againft me by a few actuated by the male
volence ot party ipint, and impoied on a
grand jury, more ignorant than diftioneft
1 aik, and detyyou, mr. Communicator, or
any olhcT, to find a perfon in the Illinois, or
elfcwhere, to fiy, or charge me of defrauding them of one acre of land, a cow, or
an horfe, by thele mighty, and voluminous
charges. No fir, mr. M'GifHn, who was
mide tremendous with his battle axes, and
faces of power from the folicitor general,
was obliged to enter his nolo prosecue to
tll thefe indictments (one excepted) for a very fufficient rcafon, he had no evidence
to fupport them the one continued, I plead
not guihy, coofidrd on the laws of my
country and the judgment of my peers, did not challenge one of the jury, but took
them as they Uood on the lilt, and was ac
quitted, nctwithflanding the profecution
W4S conducttd with zeal hording on perfe.
cution, by tne firft and fecond of the depu
ties of the attorney general, and a vnlun-
teer trom the bar as tor the act of limitation mentioned, I wave all benefit from it, and defy you, mr. Communicator, or a-
ny from the demon of party, to injure me
on that iubject.
He fayeth, that the two Morrifnns and
Edgar, are the three great land claimants
in this country, and that I am the fourth
induHry, and fume on my bodily hbourr of
couric ii wm not oc convenient for me to anfwer ai-y newfpap communication before my crop is laid by. 1 am, Air. Editor, Your humble frrvar,. n n HOaT' REYNOLDS. Goihen, May, 23d, 1810.
