A Statement From Receiver Townsend,
Who nnHes Answer 10 MI. Holloway.
Tothe Editor efLht MeIiseter.
s1R-Some one has kindly sent me q copy
ofyour paper dated July 2sd, 1883, and my
attention Is called to your editorial on the
first page relating to the Receivership OF the
Cleveland, Tuscarawas Valley & Wheeling
Railway.
Without discussing the opinions you are
pleased to hold, l beg 10 say that you have
been supplied, not only with very stale mat
Ter, but also TO q large extent false, upon
which to base your wholly unwarranted and
uutruthiul attack upon gentlemen connect
ed with this railroad.
You claim to quote from the report of the
Master Commissioner, and may be surprised
when yon examine the report, which Is q
matter of record, u find that no such Ian.
guage Is used as stst4d In your article relat-
ing 10 the Receiver and funds In his hands.
The reports OF the Receiver are matters OF
record In the United States Circuit court for
tue Northern District OF ohio, and by refer
euce 10 said files you will find that the
Receiver had no money In his hands, instead
OF q large sum as you state.
By examining the testimony before the
commissioner, which Is all on iile with the
court, you will find no evidence to cor
roborate the statement you make. Is II not
q curious circums ance that you, at this late
day, print a lot OF trash, not in the commits
%sioner's report, not in the testimony, and,
not truthful, as shown by the reports on file
with the court?
Mr.. Holloway knows very wellthat all cash
on hand as shown by the report he refers to,
leash In the Treasury December 81, 1881, was
$2S, 239 COY was derived from the current bust
ness Of the previous four months, and was
all we had available to meet pay rolls due,
$30,4sO 90, and bills for supplies, then
sudi,ed, $G4 391 IL and bills payable floating
debit $3.50, $40 60. TO say nothing about nearly
one million dollars OF rast due and unpaid
coupons.
These debts were authorized by Mr.. w. W.
Holloway and his associate directors, and all
the matters received the mature dslibera-
ton Of the Board OF Directors, including Mr..
Holloway.
Ny greatest regret is that Mr.. Holloway
Of correctly reported by youl departed from
the truth, instead Of giving you the record,
OF which he was fully possessed. Unless you
decide to stand as lndOrsers for the tslse-
hoods that the records show your article 10
contain, you will, ! trust, do me the justice
10 have this appear In the same column OF
your paper as the statements ! haye referred
10. Yours Very Truly,
OSCAR TOWNSEND,
Receiver G., T. v. & W. BY. Co.
