I, F. L. Miller, being first duly sworn
depose and say, that on Wednesday,
June 20, 19OO, V. E. Watters and I were
standing on the walk in front of my store
in the City of Corvallis, Oregon, engaged
in general -conversation; that said Y. E.
Watters asked me to step np to the corner
with him (meaning the corner of the
block in front of the Drug Store of Al
len & Woodward) that I consented and
before we reached the said corner said
Watters called to Mr. Geo. L. Paul Edi
tor and publisher of the Corvaixis Ga
zette, who was then turning down the
side street toward the Gazette Office to
"come here George4. I want to see you."
The conversation which then took place
between the said V. E. Watters and the
said Geo. L. Paul was to the best of my
remembrance as follows: :
"Watters : I understand that you have
been saying that Glass & Prudhomme
put f&OO into my campaign fund, and
that the bills of the Clerk with said firm
amounted to over 91,200 per year.
Paul : Well now I'll tell you how that
was, I know where you got your infor
mation, let me explain.
Wattre; (interrupting) Well you
said it? "
Paul: Well now let me explain how
the matter came up.
Watters: Well go ahead.
Mr. Paul then proceeded to explain
that in a general conversation at Hodes
& Hall's with Mr. Dick SmithMind others
he had made some such remark.
Watters: You said that,' You dirty
little liar.
Paul : Yes, yes, I guess I did. . ;
Wattera : You said it knowing at the
time it was a lie.
Paul: YesI
Watters : You also said that I was
going into the Saloons by way of the
back door for the Saloon vote and going
to Church on Sundays for the church
vote.
Paul : I guess I did make some such
statement.
Watters: You said just what I said
you did, didn't you, you dirty little lying
puppy, and knew it was a lie when you
said it? -Paul
: Yes, yes.
"Watters : Paul there is but one word
in the English language that expresses
my estimation f you, and that is the
word "little." You dirty little coatempt
ible liar, I don't want to talk to you.
Watters then turned and walked down
the street a dozen paces or more, then
came back and said, "See here Paul, 1
do not want to hear of you talking any
more about me for if I do, I will attend
to you, you dirty, little, lying puppy."
Paul : I, I assure you sir 1 shall say
nothing more, you'll hear nothing more
from me, I'm sorry. : That when Mr.
Watters asked me to walk to the corner
with him I was not aware that he intend
ed to speak to Mr. Paul. We had been
in general conversation for about a half
hour and during that time Mr. Watters
had not mentioned or referred to Mr.
Paul in any manner. That Mr. Paul
had previously offered to wager money
with me that Mr. Watters had been visit
ing the Saloons in CorvalliB recently.
: F. L. MlIXER.
Subscribed and sworn to before me this
30th day of June, A. D. i900.
(Seal.) W. S. McFadden,
Notary Public.
Hfere. eood people, is the "Billings
gate", that adorns the archives of the
County Judge's office of Beaton county.
And you, the public, have been envited
bv the man vou have elevated to that
position of dignity and justice, to come
and edify yourselves with its pursual.
Mr. Watters need not have alarmed him
self about my accepting his belligeraat
challenge to publish it, for I have no ap
ologies to make ior my conduct on the
occasion to which he points with so
much apparent pride. I realized at the
time of its occurrence that I stood to get
the worst of it, no matter what happen
ed. And when Mr. Watters handed in
his article for puDlication in the Gazette
f th 2ist. and I learned for the first
time that he had considered the eyent of
da much moment that it must be pre
served on parchment, I determined that
the public should know the whle truth
of the affair. Had Mr. Watters failed to
hand the matter in for publication, it was
my intention to secure a copy and pub
lish it, that he might have a full hearing,
backed bv the documentary evidence of
his witness, which he made snre to have
for the occasion, while I was taken un
awares and given no opportunity for fair
treatment. He claims that the Gazette
has misrepresented him in this recent
controversy, yet we have given him every
opportunity to testify in hia own behalf,
and have given him courteous considera
tion, notwithstanding the fact that his
whole argument has been personal and
abusive. .
He states above, that he "very reluct
antly" hands the document in for publi
cation. We have Mr. Miller's word
which has just as mach legality back of
it, as his sworn statement before any no
tary public that Mr. Wattera approach
ed him before the issue of the Gazette
of the 2ist inst., and asked permission to
publish this affidavit, and Mr. Miller re
fused to give bis consent. - So here is a
bit of conflicting testimony. -
"V :' 'T . J - x.-;.'".r'"l :r
Following, as nearly as my memory
serves me, are the details of a . matter,
which Mr. Watters has carried to a point
which does not reflect credit on his rep
utation as a- gentleman, or his forbear
ance as a christian:
. In the campaign of two years ago last
spring, a matter openly talked on the
streets and quite generally discussed so
generally, in fact, that I doubt if any one
who takes any part in local politics failed
to hear -.of it concerned financial sup
port Mr. Watters was alleged to have re
ceived from parties in Portland. There
was, also an affidavit from a person in
Portland, which pertained principally to
an alleged deal that Mr. Watters had
made at the time the Lincoln county rec
ords were transcribed and had something
to do with the books furnished.
Like others, . I had heard of these
things, but had not used them personally
nor otherwise'against Mr.-Watters in the
campaign, as many others had done, and
of which fact Mr. Watters, experienced
politician as he is, must have been aware.
Some time in June, after the election, I
was seated one day at lunch in, Hodes &
Hall's restaurant with Mr. Turney and
possibly someone else. We- were con
versing on some topic of a general nature.
While we; were thus engaged Richard
Smith, who had been seated at another
table, in leaving the dining room, passed
our table and paused to joke, as is his
custom. " He made some reference to the
late election, and as I now recall it, said
something to this effect, that some of the
republican candidates failed of election
even if they did buy votes. I replied in
the joking spirit in which I believed Mr.
Smith had spoken: "Well that's noth
ing. I guess both parties did that;, and
one of your men got help from Portland."
I think Mr. Smith enquired to whom I
referred, and I either said "your clerk"
or "Mr. Watters."
''"-
Here was one grievous and unpardona
ble offence. And here is the other, to
which I believe Mr. Watters took such
strenuous exceptions:
A gentleman and myself were convers
ing in private on an occasion during the
campaign of 1900. Naturally, politics
and the various candidates came np for
discussion; Mr. Watters' name was men
tioned and the other partyr a minister,
said he thought from what he knew of
him that he was a good man. I replied
that I knew nothing against his morals,
but that I had heard many persons ques
tion his sincerity. He asked, in what
particular. Well, said I, it was generally
understood that in his first campaigns in
this county he solicited and catered to
the saloon sote. Since then,-he had
identified himself with .the church and it
was said that he was taking advantage of
his 'prestage there, to influence that vote
in his behalf. Now, Mr. Watters - must
have heard of many remarks "of this kind
being ' made by-different ''. partiesy-and
where is tha man who -lias- eourteddis
cussioh by being before the people for of
fice as long as he has, who has not had
more said of him with far less reason,
and that too, by the fairest-minded peo
ple in the community. Can Mr. Watters
truthfully say that he has refrained from
questioning the motives and reflecting
upon the character of his opponents?
Has he not done so, when the evidence
he had for his assertious was most flimsy.
But to a consideration of this "docu
mentary evidence." , .' '
Some few days after my conversation
with Mr. Smith, and the matter having
entirely passed from my mind, I was
coming from the post office with an arm
ful of papers and other mail. As I reach
ed the corner near Allen & Woodward's
store, Mr. Watters, who -was standing in
front : of Mr. Miller's establishment,
beckoned to me, and said as he ap
proached: "Come here, George, I want
to see you." I turned to meet him and
Mr. . Miller, who came with him. Mr.
Watters asked me if I had ever said that
he had received help from Portland dar
ing his campaign. Immediately, I
thought of my little dialogue with Mr.
Smith, and I said "Why yes. Dick Smith
told you that I'll tell you about it."
Mr. Watters interrupted with the remark
that "there were others present besides
Mr. Smith," giving me the impression
that some one else was. his informant. I
told him that I was not aware that there
was anyone . else present besides Mr.
Smith and those at my table. I then
told him of the incident at Hodes &
Hall's and how it came about, substan
tially as I have related it above."
"That is a dirty little lie," said he, re
ferring to the story of his having received
support from Portland.
He then said something about my say
ing that he had worked for the saloon
vote and had joined the church for that
vote. I told him, frankly, that I had
said something of that nature. That I
realized that it was not right, perhaps, to
question a man's motives; that I did not
absolutely know it to be true, and I was
sorry that I had said it- He became very
abusive, and as he finished talking he
turned and walked several paces down
the Street. I still stood at the corner, as
Mr. Miller, having remained, began a
conversation. Mr. Watters came back
within about twenty feet of where we
were standing, and I " understood him to
say, "If I hear any more of this, I'll at
tend to it." I told him that I had no
reason nor desire to repeat the matter.
.
As soon as Mr. Watters passed on, Mr.
Miller turned to me and became very
profuse in his disavowal of any responsi
bility for what had just transpired. He
assured me that he was taken as mnch
by surprise as I had been, and that if he
had had the slightest suspicion of what
Mr. Watters intended: he would not have
been a witness. Not content with this
assurance, he came to the office later to
emphasize the fact that he had been an
unwilling party to the affair, and went
still further in the matter by telling my
friends that he regretted the incident
very much. - I believed him, and told
him that I bore! him no ill will, and I
have given him abundant evidence since
of my sincerity. -,; : : - ' '
. When Mr. Watters referred in bis ar
ticle, which appeared in the Gazette of
the 21st inst, to some difficulty he and I
had had, I knew of but one occasion of
this kind, and if he had any "docu
mentary evidence" " concerning the mat
ter, Mr. Miller must have subscribed to
it I was loath to believe that he had
become a willing party to it secretly
when he was openly expressing so much
regret at having been made an unwilling
party to the incident itself, so I went to
him and inquired if he remembered the
particulars of what had taken place be
tween Mr. Watters and myself at Allen
& Woodward's corner some time in June,
190a He told me that it was so long
ago that he had no distinct remembrance
of the affair, but that he had made affi
davit to the matter as he remembered it
shortly after it happened. - Here are the
facts; the public can draw its own con
clusion regarding Mr. Miller's conduct
in the affair.
The statement in the affidavit which
Mr. Miller has sudscribed to, that I said
I was lying and knew I was lying when
I made the statements which I admitted I
had made, is not true. I did not say I
knew the statements were lies. I said
that I did not know them to be true. The
I matter questioning Mr. Watters' sinceri
ty was not susceptible of proof, and by
the same logic was not subject to dis
proof, except as one must rely on Mr.
Watters' word; and I willingly and
frankly accepted Mr. Watters' statement
that it was not true. It was a matter of
which I could not truthfully say, "I
knew it to be a lie."
The story concerning Mr. Watters' alleg
ed assistance from Portland did not orig
inate withrme. When Mr. Watters took me
to task in the matter, I might have shirk
ed the responsibility and told him my au
thority, but he did not ask for it, and a
tattler is a sincere friend to no one. The
statements r-repeated, and : which Mr.
Watters claimed to bs outraged over,
had better evidence back of them than
the story Mr. Watters was circulating so
industriously on the morning of last elec
tion day. . Mr, Watters at that time
upon the testimony of a dissolute fellow
was using against his (Watters) oppon
ent, Mr. Woodson, a man of unimpeach
able character, a story which reflected
upon Mr. Woodson's character as seri
ously as anything I had repeated reflect
ed upon Mr. Watters. If Mr. Watters
thought me "little" for what I had re
peated, in the light of what superlative
of littleness does he contemplate his
conduct?
. ...
Mr. Miller has gone out ot his way to
include in his . affidavit, the statement
that I had previously offered to wager
hnoney with him that Mr. - Watters
had visited the saloons recently (mean
ing during the campaign of 1900). If I
ever said such a thing to Mr. Miller, it
was remarked casually in some ordinary
conversatson with that gentleman." Had
I made it seriously and Mr. Miller
thought I could not prove it, he has suffi
cient sporting blood to ' have taken the
wager. However, I will say now ' that I
was told on the authority of a man,
whose word I had no reason to question,
that he had seen Mr. Watters enter the
side door of a certain saloon one morning
about seven o'clock, during the cam
paign of 1900 or about that time.
Now, why did Mr. Watters undertake
to make me take the brunt of all that
had been said concerning him during
that campaign? And why did he want
an affidavit regarding what I was alleged
to have said and done, when he might
have approached many others for the
same offence whom he undoubtedly con
sidered of more importance than he con
sidered me? What did he expect me to
do, on the occasion in question? To deny
that I had said anything regarding him
or try to shoulder it on to some one else;
or did he expect me to pit my 125 pounds
against his 165 or 170 pounds and three or
four inches advantage in height; and his
225 pound friend standing by to make
affidavit as to how the difficulty occurred?
Was his conduct such as he has reason to
be proud of, and did he manifest the
sincere Christian spirit that comes before
the throne of grace with the petition:
"Forgive us our trespassers as we forgive
them that trespass against us?" If so,
there is hope for all of us, and heaven is
not such a select place after all,
