To the Public For years ex-County
Clerk, James M. Brann, from whom part
ed in good friendship at the conclusion
of our business relations in New York, as
shown below, has vilifed me on every pos
sible occasion. Deeming that the matter
had run long enough, called upon him to
retract. He has not complied with my re-
quest; therefore, agreeable to promise
made in an open letter sent him on Satur-
day, September 5th, | now publish part of
the Documentary evidence which I hold
in my possession and which will substan-
tiate my statements as to his utter lack of
truthfullness:
To James M. Brdnn:
SIR-On Saturday, September 4th, lion
account of your repeated attempts to vilify
me and injure my standing before the pub
lie, wrote you an open letter ia which
gave yon two weeks to retraot all your state
ments, oral or written. Your failure to
comply with my demand, I then said. would
compel me to take legal proceedings against
you, or to publish as defense to your at
lacks 500 y = first our partnership
papers, and then all letters and kilograms,
mailed or otherwise, sent to me by yourself
when you were in hiding from your credit
ors. The two weeks expired yesterday,
and no response has been made by you in
any form. Agreeable to that promise, now
publish, not all, but nearly all, of your cor
respondence with me, reserving the re-
mainder to prove still further, should you
reply to this, that my announcement of
you is in every manner correct. In order
that the public should know that I have
never been under any obligations to YOU.
and that on the contrary had befriended
you financially when you were in need, a
brief account Of how first got into your
clutches will not be amiss. During the
latter part of December, 1880, believing
you to be the proprietor of standsS s, SO and
SO Washington Market, New York, I, upon
your earnest solicitation, lent you 5000 by
check on the Grocers' Bank, of New York.
Again, in January, 1881, lent YOU sec
ond $500 by check upon the same bank,
vouchers can be produced, } still supposing
that you owned the above stands in the
market, which you did not, they belonging
to Mr.. Arthur McAvoy, who died in Novem-
Der, about two months proceeding our
partnership papers, and it was not antil
Feb.7, 1881, that you received title to these
stands without giving dollar to the estate
of Arthur McAvoy whose heirs were the
virtual owners, as I afterwards discovered.
although you had led all persons to believe
that you had been the owner for some time
Directly became aware that you had only
become possessor of these stands as men
toned above on Feb. Z, 1881, /, not being
able to reconcile your previous statements,
with your obtaininglpo possession at so late a
date, Immediately demanded the money I
had loaned you; but you, being unable to
pay it. proposed partnership if / would
loan you 500 more. This did, and the
transaction is shown in article III of the
partnership papers.
