Mr. 3. S. Jouett,
Winchester, Ky.
Deer hr. Jouett:—

Answering your in uiry by wire just received with
reference to mhether an agreement had been reached for
Special Judge to try the Hargis Condemnation case, I suggested
to Mr. McGuire that we would like to agree upon a man and
would be glad to hear suggestions from his client. He took
the matter up with his client to—day and all he could get
out of him was that he would think about it and advise him
before Thursday. McGuire nor informs me that in his opinion »

Hsrgis will not agree upon anybody but Bach and will not agree
unless he is able to-secure promise of performance from the
Judge in stance. I am inclined to think that he is correct
in this, since this comports with Hergis' methods. 'thuire
suggests, in this connection, that while Beck was riding on a
Bass issued by the L. & 3.,Hergis had a mortgage on his farm.
You see he is therefore ”between the devil and the deep blue
sea". Should Hurgis suggest Bach I will suggest Patton and

‘ one or two others,— he may agree upon Patton. Should he
refuse to agree upon eny men that we suggest, I thinl it best
for us to tehe Bach. The only advantage in having e lawyer
try it is that it will facilitate matters and even a men who
hes agreed in advance to serve Hergis‘ purposes is preferable
to the Justice of the Peace before when the case will be tried
in the absence of an agreement.

I do not believe that either Patton or Back would
openly violate our rights unless they did so with belief that
they had deceived us into thinking that they were trying
treating us fairly.

I met Alex Hargis on the street yesterday and he
arproached me rith reference to the case and remarked that
he wanted tb have a friendly suit with the railroad to settle

' a legal guestion that was involved; that his position was,

. that it was not necessary to take the land for railroad
purposes and that he wanted he it understood that it was
merely a friendly suit to settle a guestion. I, of course,
met him in the proper spirit and declared that we understood
it to be a friendly suit.

Dear Mr. Jouett:-

I acknowledge receipt of your favor of the
17th. I advised you yesterday that the Hsrgis case was set
for trial Ihursdey of next neck. Judge Hegins informs me
that he will decline to preside in this case. He and Eergis
are not on speaking terms and are very hitter towards each
other and under these circumstances he feels that he should
decline. The nearest hepistrete is Charles Terry, 3 man
without judgment,intellectu3113 dull, and I belieVe hostile
to both parties. I know he is hostile to the railroad.

It might be well for us to agree upon some
lawyer to preside at this trial. In this connection, however,
I want to suggest that hergis will not agree to any one Whom
he does not believe will do whet he asks. I talked over this
matter Lith hr. McGuire toGdsy, as you know he is Hsrgis'
counsel, and he admits that He gis will not agree to any one V
except under the circumstances named above. He also admits
that Hergis is aware that Berry the nagistrate is not friendly
to him. thuire seys that viewing the thing from his stand—
point Hergis mould agree for Leonidas ﬁedwine, J. J. C. ﬁnch
or A. H. Patton to try the case. I would not in any event
be willing for Ledwine to try it since I am sure he rould do
what hergis told him. Patton and Bach are both riding on

passes issue& by the L a E. and while it is hard to tell
what either one oi them would do under ordinary circum—
stances, I would rather have either one of them preside at
this trial than ferry. I hardly thin; they would either
care to take the chance on loeing transnortetion by openly
violating our rights.

1 will be in Lexington Saturday and i: you
happen to be there we can talk thie mutter over. In the

Dear Sirz~
Please find enclosed copy of Exceptions to the
Dommi sioners Report in the Hargts case for your files. I
do not think we will be able to have a trial of this case -
before the last of next week- say Thursday or Friday. Just
as soon as I can reach an agreement with the other side will
notify you. In the mean While I shall be pleased to get a
list of Witnesses whom you pr0pose to use in this matter. The
Comri sioners informed me that the fill will extend to just a
few feet of the house and the barn and for this reason their
award of damages was more than ordinarily it would have been.
You are doubtless aware that I am perfectly at
7 sea with reference to the facts and mill have to rely on you
to furnish the Witnesses at that end— experts. I don't believe ,
we will be able to get any witnesses here that can very mater—
ially help us,

Dear Ir. Jouett:—

I thank you for your favor of 0th relative to salary
and L.& N. pass. I will mail you itemized statouert of oxyrnOitures
as soon as I can have it copied. ” I

I have something like $100.00 of the companys money
in my hands but in view of the fact that we have several condemna-
tion suits to try in the county court and another to bring right
away, I think you had better leave this fund with me, as officers
and witnesses in this section give better service when they are
11‘-.5: 1.1.7. th ’.1-1:11 l-_ 1 ' i' ::- ; 111.
”iv. LL1(11€H Margie, through her attorney has notified
me that she will not convey to us the right of way through her \
tracts. Her attorney agrees to bring no suit, provided we will 3
Speedily institute condemnation proceedings, which I am now preparing\
She ownes three small tracts in the Rye—Cove farm, known
as Haddix Coal lands and an undivided interest in smaller tracts of '
this land. As'you remember it requires considerable time and study A;
to properly describe what we seek to take for7ri§ht of way, but I fhih
I will be able to file the suit tomorrow.
I did not file condemnation suit which I prepared against
Joana Tipton because her husband was here during last term of
circuit court and requested me not to file, saying he wanted to set—
tle. I am informed that she desires her case to take the same course
that Mrs. Margie case takes, so I await your advice as to whether I
file same. At the time of my conversation with Tipton he informed me
that he and Mrs Hargis had agreed to leave it to Floyd Day to decide
whether they should accept my propesition. I saw Mr. Day and requested
him to take the matter up with his sister, and afterward was informed
by him that he had done so and that she had gotten the idea in her had
head that he was working for the interest of the railway company and
therefore he declined to have anything furthe.to do with the mater. '
I think the trouble with these women‘that they are afflﬂied
with too much lawyer. R

Dear Sir:-

I am sorry to advise you that we have been unable to
get commissioners to act in the condemnation proceedings against
Hargis and wife.

Your special delivery letter containing petition and one
copy of order appointing commissioners was delivered to me at
bedtime Wednesdaynight. On Thursday' morning at 5 Oclock most of
the competent men suitable for commissioners who reside in and
near Jackson left for Ltuisville to attend fair as the special
guests of the Louisville Commercial club. In addition to this
the large relationship of Hargis and Mrs. Hargis together with
the personal antagonism to Hargis on the part of various anti
Hargis people remdered many , otherwise suitable citizens incomJ
petent to act as commissioners. The limited time in which to
do the work rendered it impossible to go to the country after
commissioners. It was therefore 2 O'Clock P.M. Thursday before
we could find as many as two men here who were satisfactory to
me and the county judge, the third resides mear Elkatawa and as
he had been in Jackson that daythe judge felt sure we could get
him to the land to act with the oter commissioners.

I filed the petition, had the order appointing commissioners
entered , gave them a copy and they promised to go down on the early
morning train look over the land, and retunn on noon train and
make their report. This would enable me to have process served to-
day. '

This morning at 11 O‘Clock I learned that the commissioners did not
go. One of them got up and went by for the other, who refused to
go. I went to see him and he declines to go until order of court is
served on him by the sheriff. I am having a copy of the order made
and will have it served at once, I told him I would have order serv
ed before 1 Oclock and endeavored to get him to go on afternoon
train. He positively declines to go today, stating that they would
not have time to get Griffeth, the commissioner who lives in the
country/on the ground in time to act today, and I am inclined to
the opinion that this is true. He also declined to actwith the
' other commissioner alone, but would insist on all three being
present.

_ The commissioners appdmnted are all good men, and satisfactory
to me, but I suppose you realize that you are dealing with no ordi-
nary man in this case. I learn that in some way, I suppose through
the deputy clerk who has for years been one of his followers, the
defendant learned last night that commissioners had been appointed
and gave them notice not to go on his land in his absence. This
cagﬁid one of the commissioners to refuse to go until served with

UV 4L
notice. If it is important that this case be tried at Sept.
term , it is unfortunate that you did not apprise me of the fact
earleer. You will fing that the defts will contest every inch,
and that we will have a sure enough fight.

I understand they expect to get out a writ of prohibition
against the county judge on the ground that having heretofore made
contract not to construct fill we have no right to condemn.

Yours truly,‘k/4::2:;g/t::y___

My Dear Sirze
Your letter of August 17th to me has finally reached.
me at this place. I have been here about two weeks past engaged in
some railroad cases, and will be here a week or 10 days longer,~
after that I will go immediately into a busy four weeks term of
Court, so it will be impossible for me to give attention to the
matter that you were kind enough to offer to Mr. MbDowell and myself.-

Under the circumstances, in view of the last conversation I
had with Mr. McDowell, I do not believe we could materially assist
,you in handling this matter at this time, so suggest that you take

. it up with other parties.

I assure you that we are very much obliged for your considerae
tion in offering it to us and regret that we are unable to handle
it.

Replying Lo yours of 28th instant. I regret to

ably every day next week engaged mntil Pride; or Saturday, but
will advise "ou @oSitivel lust as soon as oractical wnat dav

I take it for granted that you will have your lawyer

definitely.
