mended. having the Endorsement of such
physicians as Drs. Dunn, Burton, Ames,
Somers and Hunter
Aid. EllingSOn confirms the state
ment Of Commissioner Guile as to the
conversation in Kelly's Office, and DR..
TryOn says:
The statement or inuendo that I ever
paid any money or offered to pay any con-
sideration is a falSehood from beginning to
end.
So far as my ability to pay any such sum, or
any sum as is named by DR.. Kelly, 1t Is the
veriest nonsense. While 1 do not like to
speak of my financial condition, l must say
in justice to the police commission, that1 had
no property at the time of my application
for the position, and have not been able TO
acquire any property since. nave wire

come candidate until the 18th day Of April,
consequently no such talk by Guile about
me could have occurred on the 3Oth day OF
March.
DR.. Kelley said last night that ne
finds he is mistaken as to dates. That
it was Saturday, April 81, not March 81.
that Guile approached him. which dis
poses of his seeming inconsistency, lie
also states that he called on Supt.
Bracket on Sunday. the Gay following,
and reported the circumstance, and on
Monday told his story to Mayor Babb. He
then went to Judge M. B. KOon, who sent
him to E. NJ. johnson, who in turn sent
him to W. E. Hall. who advised him, as
a lawyer. not to resign. In accordance
with this instruction he sent the COM
mission notice at it its meeting the fol-
lowing Monday, May 6. that he refused
to resign, and asked the reason
his resignation was so summary de-
manded. He saw Commissioner GJert-
sen Saturday, May 4, and related that
Guile had demanded money, and says
that Gjertsetn Notwithstanding advised
him under the circumstances to re-
sign. NJ. ]. Mallon, reporter on the
Evening Journal, is implicated in
DR.. Kelley's statement as sort
of go-between. The doctor says NAL
Ion had interested himself in getting
Tom Kelley appointed on the mounted
force, and then afterwards in talking
about his DIR. Kelley'sl appointment,
casually remarked: "Why don't you
see Guile? l got Tommy Kelley APP
pointed, but it cost 500. Imade the deal
with Guile" The city editor of The
learn from DR.. Kelley something about
the charges against Guile. when the lat
ter replied: "Why don't you ask your
reporter Mallon? He knows more
than any one else about these
things" This resulted in NAL
Ions being brought face to face
with DR.. Kelley when he admitted hav-
ing the conversations, it is said, but de-
MED saying anything about money
being used to secure Guile's vote. NAL
Ion was given the choice of going be-
fore the grand jury and telling his
story or being discharged, and it is said
has left the Journal.
AS far as is known DR.. Kelley is with
out any corroborative evidence, while
his charges are denied by Guile, who is
backed up in measure by DR.. Tryon's
assertion that he has paid Guile no
money. 1t seems rather strange
that no effort was made to en-
trap Guile into receiving money
that could have been traced to him, Or
that Supt. Brackets wonderful detect
i've ability did not sug gest some means
of sec uring evidence of Guile's corrup-
ton that could not be disputed or de-
MED. So DR.. Kelley's unsubstantiated
charges may not amount to much, but
are important as indicating that there
may be something tangible to the ru-
mors that are flying around which re-
fleet quite seriously upon MI. Guile's
acts as commissioner.
