I’RESTONSBURG, KY. A

Aug. 13, 1925. .

Mr. Lee P. May,

Prestonsburg, Ky.

Dear Sir:* ““'-‘3’ “3 ‘
In-re Election Contest for Democratic nomination "
for Sheriff.

I beg to confirm my statements made to you this morning, rel— .,
ative.to the proceodure in the above cases, now pending in the vi
Floyd Circuit Court. rfi

There is the case of yourself against Sturgill and Martin; the '3
case of Sturgill against Martin; and the case of Hill against Store :3
gill, Martin and yourself. In my judgment, these three cases will 3}

. be consolidated and 1 "d as one case. fl

Each of the c es k a recount of the ballots, and a recount .5
is authorized prao c y upon the allegations ofthe petitions, witI H3
proof introduced to . w that the ballots have not been tampered ;;
with since they were delivo . into the possession of the County ?;
Clerk. This, of course,ru .. shown by the testimony of John _J
Hatcher. clerk, and of th @h who have been maintained at the .,gg'isr;
courthouse. However. -\J he recount, there are, as I under-v
stand, aproximately ten con - o, includingg the three for the _H
sheriff's office, and in each contest . recount of the ballots is W?
sought. The question of proceedur ‘ within the discretion of J
the trial court, and until he an Q‘Vré§>iheproceedure we cannot ’
determine just how this will be dwo~. "e may recount the bal- u;
lots at the beginning of the trial, after their integrity has been '“
shown; or he may require all the evidence to introduced in all .1
the cases, and then recount the ballots in a e cases at one and Q
the same time, and my judgment is that this t will be done. ~fi;

Each of the contests charge a violatio of the Corrupt Prac- ‘d
tics Act. It will be necessary to show by you, if it is a fact, .:
that you did not buy any votes yourself, and that no one with your '3
knowledge bought any votes for you, either with his or your money. fé
It is sufficient on this ground to shOw that even.gpg vote was . ‘_
bought by a candidate, or by his workers with money furnished by ‘Wfi
him, to deprive him of a nomination, in the event acandidate receiv- ”
ing a less number of votes is shown not to have violated the Act. j
I would advise that we should endeavor to ascertain the names of - g
the election workers for Martin, Siurgill and Hill in some of the .7
various preceinots, whom we can BhOW'had their money, and that the 9
workers used the money or a part of it for the buying of votes. ;
We can of course call Martin, Sturgill and Hill as witnesses upon

. cross-examination, and they have the same right to call you. I ‘ .

would also endeavor to learn who was the campaign manager for each 'T

of these throecandidates, if they had one, so we can have them as

a witness as well. In the lower ward of Prestonsburg precinct, itm ,

is my information that Art Sturgill had approximately $ 400.00 of

Be: Sturgill's money, and it can be shown that he used it for buyiz

vo es. .

PRESTONSBI’RG. KY.
Mr. LeeP. May, ——22— Aug. 13, 1925. , v
In the matter of illegal votes, it is necessary for us to set
up in an amended Notice the names of the illegal voters in the dif-
ferent precincts upon which me wish to rely, and the reason of their
illegality: under age, Republicans, voted on tabel, disclosed bal-
lot, bribed, etc.,and be prepared to prove the same. at the trial
of the case. , It is my understanding that ifpossible, you with
to avoid a general contest and counting off vaotes / and if it can
be so done, I want to follow your desired; on the other hand, it
is my Judgment, knowing that Judge Wheeler represents Martin, that
they will be fighting every point and endeavor to charge off every
illegal vote, if any they can find, which was cast for any of the
other of you contestants, and therefore that it will be necessary
forycu to be prepared with the list of illegal votes, witnesses,
etc. as set out she
I want to 1‘ er 1 gest, that from time to time you come
into the office o for with me on any point which may occur
to you relative to e different sales ofthe case, so that we
will be prepared to meet e~~ issue which can be made or present-
ed upon the trial. Th : -= oat important for you to do. I am
most anxious to win this :0: for you/end believe that you
have a most excellent e .4 winning out, but we can only
win with the fullestco-op -. ion, help, aid and assistance of
yourself, relatives, friends and pol ical advisers.
