Mr. Yer,nasfc 81 st. Pnnl.

Mr.. Daniel 3. VerIuily g, whose name has
come very suddenly and prominently be-
fore the public, in connection with an IN
pleasant social scandal, arrived in ST. Paul
on the eastern train last night and pro-
ceeded to the Metropolitan, where he
registered, and where he will remain for
few days.
Upon being questioned in regard to the
scandal he expressed desire to enter
specific and general denial of ali allega
tions going to show any dis
honesty or attempts to do anything
improper in all this unfortunate business.
In regard to his arrest in Chicago he said
it was SO absurdly groondless that the at
torney who commenced the proceedings
came to him and desired him to sign
paper releasing him from all damages.
he denied all charges Of embezzlernent
and said that at the time the embezzle-
ment was charged to have been committed
Meyer and he were the only ones that had
any money in the concern, and that az
that time stock to the g mount Of $4,000
was standing in his name. The alleged
embezzlement at the worst consisted
simply i'll the transfer by him (Yerlnilye)
Of the money from one bank to another.
Mr. Vermiiye then proceed to say:
There never was any demand made on
me for funds for the use of the company
that was not fully and promptly met. I
hept house here in st. Paul six or eight
months after the offences charged are al
legged TO have occurred, and during all that
time | never heard word, or intimation
that there was the slightest claim of any
description against me. I have never
seen cent of the money put into the
company and I never expect to. Gen.
Beem admitted yesterday thet he never ex-
pected to prosecute this suit against NE,
but simply to use it as means to compel
me to let up on Myer. With regard to any
charges made against me in reference to
finances it may be said that
ell the profits resulting from real estate
transactions between me and Gen. Myer,
are placed in my wife's name together
| with all my property, and afterwards,
when she left me and my difficulties COM
menced, she refused to give this property
up and still refuses. have brought suit
to recover it and the suit is now pending
in Jamestown, DIT.
The statement published in the paper
that was drunk in Chicago day or two
ago is wholly false; there is not the Sigh
est Foundation for the statement. The
statement that Mrs. Vermilye went to
Orange, New Jersey, is not correct. That
is the home of my family, and where my
family and their ancestors have lived for q
hundred years and she would find the at
mosphsre there very uncomfortable.
Last spring Gen. Myer and Mrs. Yer
miiye sailed for Europe on the same
steamer, and I followed them about six
weeks later and found them in Swltzer-
land and got IN order from the police foc
her to give up she child. was induced,
however, on the representations
and pleadings Of my wife to waive
my rights to take the child by
force at that time and accepted instead an
agreement signed by her 10 return irnme-
diately to America and deliver the'cnild to
my mother, to be kept by her until our
American country could decide who should
have the child, which agreement Mrs.
Vermllye has not carried out or shown any
intention to fulfill.
I Indignantly and enphatically deny
any charge of failing to supply my wife
with funds, but assert on the contrary,
during the entire time we lived together
she was supplied with every conceivable
luxury. That is putting it pretty strong,
but it is true; and assert
that I was always an afectionate
and faithful husband. They charge
me with infidelity.' This assert is wholly
false.
The statement that Gen. Myer ordered
most OF the furniture for my house, also
deny. lie never bought any furniture for
me at any time. This story is cunning
perversion of the facts, and amounts to
downright falsehood. Gen. Myer being
connected with the army had the opportu-
tunity to purchase furniture very much
cheaper than l could, and in accordance
with an understanding and arrangement
with me, made the contracts for some fur
niture, but I paid for If, and
he never paid dollar for me for furni-
ture.
A great talk is made about the discount
ing of several notes at the Second Nation
al bank, and some Of the officers of the
bank are represented as being very re-
ticent about the matter. There is no rea-
SOU LOT laying any stress upon this. 1t
was simple, ordinary business transac-
tion in which there is neither concealment
or Specification. ~-, 49,.
This concluded the interview and Mr..
Vermilye stated to theGLoBE representative
that there was good deal
more to bs said in regard to the
subject, but that the proper time had not
come to make any further statements. 1t
some future time he might, and probably
would say something more. When his at
tention was called to the retraction pub
iished IN the papers yesterday morning,
ne said ne was not prepared to make any
statement concerning it at present, but
that he would probably at some future
day.
The Retractiem a "Forced" Document.
