Kentucky Caldwell County.

Dyson McGregor says he has been familiarly acquainted with Thomas B. Wadlington for fully twenty years past and with his general moral character. He states, that said Wadlington has all the time been regarded as a good moral, peacable, and orderly citizen, and, he states that such is his general character and from all the facts, and circumstances connected with the killing of of M. A. Cartwright he is induced to believe, that the evidence upon which the finding of the Jury was predicated is not true, and that the Killing was in self defence.
