Transcription
At the request of Judge R.H. Montgomery, in the case of Scarborough vs Abel, recently pending in the county court of Holmes Co. I hereby certify that I have examined the Statement of facts made by J. M. Dyer Esq of date Oct 5th, 1868, in said case & fully concur in all he has said. I would further add, that I appeared as counsel in the case for Mr. Abel, That the defence introduced no testimony whatever, That the court at no time during the progress of the trial gave or intimated an opinion upon the merits of the case, And that the case was finally dismissed by Judge Turner who appeared as leading counsel, & turned to Scarborough and said to him you have lost your case, "the proof does not make out your title" No one present complained at the result of the case. Nor have I at any time heard before the complaint in this case, any charge of partiality against Judge Montgomery. Respectfully Submitted J.J. Hooker
