Gentlemen:—
éuswering your favor of the lflfih inofianfi, in regara to
suit of 30330 Combs, ioninistrator of Ja‘o Whitlook v. Hason &
Huxsfi Comoany ané 3. & 3. Railway Comfiany, E onelooe hexawith round
trip yoga for Dr. Taylor Burot an& a one—way flags for the colored
man which it is propoooé to take from fiexington to Hazard, Bofih
paosos are good until fiuguofi 513%. .

4 From my file in thio case, it does not oypoar that we
have over preyazod or filoa any insmor, but when tho? is fiono we
ought, of course, to be careful to deny that Whitlook has over diea.
In the event this aofiion shoulé be Qofeoted, to prevent the in—
otitution of any soooné motion for fiho floath of the negro aofiually
killoé, I think we oughfi, if fictoiblo, yak off a trial of the case
unfiil after the m éalo of Qofiobor noxfi, fihough this may nofi be'
aboolufioly indispensable in order to mafia a plea of limifiotion
ovailshle to us in &ofcnéing any futuyo oofiion. Be sure, hOWeVOT,
no? fio overlook making a fliroot ioouo as $0 the death of Whitlock
