Danford's Leyee.

Commonwealth: Col. J. s. DanforC
held kind of reception at his room il
the Gordon House, last evening. the
stream of callers being almost uninter
rupted until eleven O'Clock, when oul
reporter took his leave after a lengthy
interview. Mr.. Danford recited the in
cidents connected with his troubles, ex
planned the condition of the banks in
which he was interested, and the obsta
cles he met with in securing cur
rency at the time when needed
and gave a very interesting state
ment of the doings of the mob. The
perilous position in which he was
placed was made manifest, though he
told the story easily, and laughed, when
his audience did, at some of the Fidicu
lous, though dangerous positions in
which he was placed. His story more
firmly impressed those who heard it
that Mr.. Danford has nerve. His worst
enemies concede that.
AS 10 his financial condition after his
affairs are settled, he says that he will
have from 1900 to $4,000 left, even
if he does not contest the validity of the
papers he was forced to sign under du
ress. The tenor of his story was all to
the effect that he wished to pay his in
debtedness, dollar for dollar, and he says
that he could have done so and not have
been disgraced or been called dishonor
able, if he had been allowed to handle
his own affairs.
Mr.. Danford is still sick, being unable
to get up and down stairs yesterday
without assistance. He was feeling
quite happy last night on account, nj
dou0t, of the temporary excitement oc
casioned by the friendly reception &C
corded him here, but showed traces o.
the terrible experiences he has met with
