This small leaflet records the oath of William I. Davis in which he denies the charge that Isham G. Leabow made against him. Davis swears that he did not tell Leabow that T.H. Ford, candidate for sheriff, had been paid $600 to run. It is signed in print by George W. Montgomery, notary public in Claiborne County. On the reverse, Davis has penciled a note telling the recipient not to say a word to a living man and requesting a meeting that night.
