Additional Details

Buckley was a member of the Texas House of Representative for Richmond, TX and was later chosen as Speaker. Here he attempts to refute the charges of "moral turpitude" which had derailed his candidacy for the state Supreme Court, stating that he had been cleared by a grand jury. A long list of Montgomery County citizens testify to his character. Winkler, Texas Imprints 1008. One traced in OCLC (at Southern Methodist University), and none at auction.
