Nav 18th. 1878.


Ed. INTELLtGENCER: On the Goth
day of April last, the business carried
on between myself and William Fox, as
proprietors of the Occidental Hotel, in
this city, was dissolved by mutual con-
sent, Mr.. Fox taking the Occidental
Hotel and all debts due. and agreeing
to pay all liabilities, allowing Mr..
Fox six hundred dollars difference be-
tween our individual accounts, and /
to have the American House and pay
the liabilities connected Herewith.
Shortly after the above agreement I
sold the American House to Mr.. Jen.
nings and he assumed all the liza Utilities.
This agreement in all its details is
recorded III the records of King County,
and can bc examined by any person
interested.
For some time previous to the dissc-
luton, the business of the Occidental
Hotel was, owing to having q large
amount due and dizziness of business.
cramped for means, and was greatly
worried, In fact spent days and nights
without sleep. When Mr.. Fox took
charge of the business. unwisely con
cluded TO leave the city for few days,
to improve my health. not thinking
fer moment that base reports would
be got up against me and heralded
through the country, such as that 81
had absconded with large sums of
money, and had cheated and defrauded
many persons" The first knowledge
had that such reports were in the
papers was when arrived at La Con-
ner, in Whatcom county. when, Judge
OF my surprise, when arrested on Q
warrant issued at the instance of my
late partner Mr.. Fox. My friends ad-
vised me to await the result of the ex-
animation pending with Justice Snyder,
before publishing denial of the mali
cious reports published against me.
Now sir, that examination ON
a charge of embezzlement now
has taken place, and resulted in my
complete vindicatiop. with . Judgment
against Mr.. Fox for costs, the Justice
stating that the charge was frivolous
The examination on the accounting by
Walter Hanks, Esq. who was appoint
ed by the Court to examine and report
the state of the business of Virgins i
Fox. also shows that the notes aud &C.
counts due the firm amounts to $4,000
and upwards, and that the full SUN
paid out by me. over and above ell re-
ceipts. exceeded twenty.three hundred
dollars.
This accounts for the moneys charg-
ed To have been appropriated by me
for my own use. The evidence shows
also that while the debts due the hotel
amounted to So, 500 and upwards. the
furniture and furnishing goods added,
during the fifteen months of the pro-
prietorship of Wiggin & Fox. exceeded
$4,000, and that the full liabilities Of
the firm did not exceed IS. $50. leaving
a balance in favor of the hotel of 81
$50 over and above all liabilities.
Now. having awaited my vindication
through the Courts. trust, in justice
TO myself aud family, that the several
newspapers that circulated the reports
in this matter so damaging to my rep
utation will publish these facts.
Yours truly.
WILLIAM s. WiGcIS.
