G. B. Glass, John W. Lamb G. R. Glass, and Barney Glass say they live neighbors to Thomas B. Wadlington, and are acquainted with the general moral character of said Wadlington, and they do say, that his character is that of an honest law abiding and peacable citizen -- They further state they are acquainted with the general moral character of John James Blalock, who gave evidence in the case of the Comth agst said Wadlington and from his general character they do not believe him to be entitled to credit as a sworn witness in a court of Justice, and they do believe that the evidence given on said trial by said Blalock as to the manner of the killing, and as to who commenced the difficulty is false. and they do believe that said Wadlington has been unjustly condemned on false testimony.
