ROUNABOUT.
From Hon. R. A. Evans.
Eds. Copiahan: As Judge Bridewell has given what he says is the facts of the Miss. Mills case, I propose to do the same; and that is, that he was recognized at the time as the Attorney of the Board, and came before the Board and stated that he had conferred with the managers of the Mills, and they had the money ready to settle according to the Miller Bill and all costs, and recommended that the board accept, as it would bring several thousand dollars in the treasury, and get shut of a long suit.
But did not show any letters of J. W. McNiel or Col. King to the board, as he wrote McNiel on March 2d 1883.
Yours respectfully,
R. A. Evans.
P. S. I have heard that Veritas wants to hear from me, and I have tried to get a copy of the Signal, so as to see what he wants; cannot answer until I find his communication. Respectfully,
R. A. Evans.
