Il kaew the reputation OF Ar. Stiles veil.
both as a lawyer and as man. had OPP
portunity OF knowing /. well. ! was
member OF the bar. and was 6istrici-at
Bey for over four years, and assistant.
United States attorney for about six years
During this time Mr. Stiles was praciic-
ing member OF the bar. | do not bslong 10
the same political party as Mr.. Stiles. as |
am Democrat. but belong 10 the brother
hood OF fair men who believe in doing
justice to his fellow-man no matter what
may be his opinion or creed, aud / must
emphaticalIy state that no man stood
higher for the possession of those qualities
that go to win the esteem, confidence and
respect vi a community than Mr.. Stiles.
have no doubt that IL was because of his
pre-ensinent possession o! these qualities
that he was selected a. the assignee o.
Hudson & Co. with the belief that the
selection would give entire satisfaction to
the creditors OF that unfortunate firm. /
was creditor OF the firm Ia a small
amount and exchanged views with MANY
who also were, ara his appointment was
subject oil mutual congratulations"
But what have you 10 say in regard to
these charges connected with Mr.. Stiles
management as assignee"
"Of course no man could speak specific
ally and definitely on such question, un-
less he were an expert book-keeper, and
had examined thoroughly the whole &C
counts OF the bankrupt firm. But | will
say that from what l know of Mr.. Stiles
and all the surrounding circumstances of
his management of the affairs OF the bank
rupt firm | would stake all the wealth OF
the Astors ii owned IL, against nickle, that
there is no ground whatsoever for them.
Ii Is very easy when no one is around TO
check or contradict, to make figures lie.
In the hands Of an anxious manipulation
they are the most tremendous liars.
Now, let anyone put this question to his or
her self: Mr.. stiles has no doubt the
assignee s books in his possession. and ii
this Is so, how could any man or body OF
men intelligeniiy conclude. without the
possession OF those books. or the opinion of
competent expert who has examined
them, that the accounts showed embezxie-
mcnt or even crookedness? Now il is fo-
you, Mr.. Reporter, to ascertain whether the
Tucson grand jury as an expert had access
To those books or not"
The Posr-lSrgLLIGEzcER reporter subse-
quenty called upon Mr.. stiles and learned
that the books containing all the accounts
OF Mr. Stiles as assignee of Hudson & Co.
were in his possession here in Tacoma
Well, Mr.. Farley, what do YOU suppose

them TO find indictments upon insufficient
and incompetent evidence"
I'm the first place, Tucson, by tie advent

from distributing wholesale station 10 a
way station. and the large wholesale firms
who used to bring their supplies in by raule
teams once or twice year, and sell tn tie
retailers throughout the small. towns, found
their occupation gone, as the small dealer,
could order by rail Just as well
as the large ones. The result was a
succession 81 failures OF the large houses
The wholesale houses were frequently
