A GARD FROM NEFF.
He Refutes the Journals Lie-bel
and Calls Its Attention to
Some Crookedness.
THAT TRUSTEESHIP


ALL STRAIGHT AS FAR AS THE AUDITORS
Is CoNCERNED-BUT HOW ABOUT THE
RADICAL CANDIDATE AND THE JOURNALS
ACCOUNTS ON FILE IN THE sEcRETARY's
OFFICE?
To the Editor OF the Sentinel.
Slr-It Is not my purpose to answer ali
the lies that will be published in the COL
umns of the Indian apolis Journal during
the campaign concerning myself. Life is
too short TO be wasted in that way. But
the charge inside in that paper this MORN
ing is so VIII )lly false and 50 utterly with
out foundation 10 fact that l can not pass
it by without reply. Every statement
made in the Journal OF this morning in
reference to my acts in the settle
ment OF certain estate, of
which was the administrator,
is willful)y and mesnly false, and, in my
opinion, the editor of the Journal knew
they were false when be made them. The
facts In the ca to v hich be refers are as
follows: Some five years ago Mr.. d. NJ.
Bradbury and myself were associated
together in the practice of the law at Win
chester, Indiana, and as the attorneys Tor
certain heirs, we brought suit and had
the administrator of their est ste removed,
and at their request was appointed
ADMINISTRATOR DE BoNIs NON
in order to Irc tect the securities Of the
former administrator. A final settlement
was allowed to be made with the court, in
which he turned over as the as
sets of the estate certain notes
not then due, and personally
obligated himself for the balance due the
estate, amounting to some $3.50 collected
the notes ans paid the money over to the
heirs Considerable De sy WAS had in col
lecting the balance que from the former
administrator, and slme thirty dollars still
remain unpsid. On my removal from
Winchester, L
TURNED THE MATTER OVER TO MEssRs. En-
GLE & STUDY,
my attorneys at that place. 1 have been
urging them from time to time to make
full settlement, that l might be discharged
from my trust. They have delayed doing
this, hoping to collect all due
the estate, and make the SET
three months ego contemplate
sbyster, with no character at home, who
pretends to practice law at Button, Ind.,
aud will no. give him the nCtOriety he
desires by mentioning his name, tIue ts
the teachings of the party TO which he
| belongs has iLsinuated himself in o the
condolences OF some of the heirs tor the
purp Sc of getting what litIls was due
tnem and re tslBir g lG tor services Que him as
their attorney, and upon his statements
| the Journal has relied for what IL bss pub
lished co. csroing the matter. For the
| truth of the statements have made refer
to Mr.. ID NJ Bradbury OF this place. and
Messrs. Engle 81 Stusy, attorneys at Win
chester, Ind AL of whom are Z publicaps.
| Full settlement of the estate has been
made so far as am concerned, and / have
accounted for every dollar that came into
my hands, both principal and interest,
| and l have accounted for interest or
balances in my hands rom time TO time.
