Brandis the Democratic Bond Slander—He says that Senator Butier is Opposed to the Col lection of the Carpet-Bag Bonds assd that uponthe Adi^ice'of Mr. i Butler he Refused to Act Counsel' Oltober 4, Hon. John M. Morehead / Greensboro, N. C. Dear Mr. Morehead Your favor in which you say that a charge has beeh circulated in North Carolina in this cam- paigli, to the effect that Hon. Marion Butler is connected with the Carlisle Bond Syndicate, as counsel for the collection of cer tain North Carolina Bonds, known as the ‘ ‘carpet-bag bonds” and requesting that I give you any information that I may have with reference to the matter, has been received. What I know about the matter is, briefly as follows:- It is a matter of public record, cited in the cases of the Supreme Court that Senator Butler ap peared as one of the Counsel in a certain case where the Su preme Court decided that the ■State had really gotten the val ue of the bonds and thfrt; they should be paid. It seems how ever that afterwards the state of Rhode Island and I think the state of Nevada passed some ’egislation which it was thought might enable the Supreme Court to pass upon the validity of a wholly different class of North Carolina bonds, different in cre ation, in consideration and in purpose. These are generally referred to as fraudulent ‘ ‘car pet-bag bonds. ” I had neyer heard of either class of bonds until ab§ut a year ago when Counsel for Hon. John G, Carlisle wrote to ask me if I would serve as one of Council to take up either the Rhode Island or Nevada case for presentation to the Supreme Court Knowing that a case had been tried in the Supreme Court to test the validity of the North Carolina Second mortgage bonds in which ex-Senator Butler ap peared as counsel, and that the judgement of the Court was that the bonds were valid, andr as a result of that judgement thUt there had been a satisfactory settlement or ;^djustment made by the State, I went to call upon Senator Butler with, my then law partner, J. D. Wright. I took the papers over to his office and ask him to give me the facts so that I could decide if it would be a straight-forward and a proffessional thing, under the circumstances governing the latter class of, bonds, to present the syndicate before the Supreme Court. He instantly gave me a very clear statement as to the difference in the cl^ of bonds, stating that several years before that time he had appeared for the class of bonds described by Dr. Battle and decided by the Supreme Court, but that under no circumstances would he ap pear directly or indirectly or as of Counsel for the bonds refer red to in the Rhode Island and Nevada cases and to which my letter from Mr. Carlisle’s Coun sel referred. In fact he added that he had been urged to do so several months prior to my cal ling upon him but had declined. Of course, after I learned the difference in the cases, I also de clined to have anything to do with it and sent the papers all back. Yours very truly, John G.
