JsEKs A. fARk.
Sworn TO and subscribed before me this an
day OF October, A. d., la'g
Notary Public in and ior Iashsm county.
In this connection desire 20 say that
mort emphsucaily denounce The
charges OF this man McEiroy, a. above
made, and deny every line aud item OF
them; and furthermore, II McElroy, OF
any other person, Will come 20 Lansing
and point out the property that nov
or at any other time, has been rented
by me for purposes or prostitution, as
above charged 10y McElrOy, j Will
promptly execute 10 any party 80 point
ing out, deed IN fee simple and clear
| OF incumbrance OF each and every par
Gel of property SO designated.
In the Free Press, under the head OF
"eyents following affidavit" McElsoy
gives a Munchausen version Of conyer-
satlon AMI conduct OF my part. and
pleadings had with him, after iiseilOrts
to induce Governor Luce 10 decline %
re-appont me on the board. As 10 al
this stuff, will simply leave II 10 the
people throughout the state CT Michi-
gan who know me 10 determine whether
| would be likely TO lie down and lei
the wagon run over me, as indicated IN
| his fairy tale.
Under the head Of the editorial in the
/ Free Press entitled mir. Turner's ac-
cuser," you mention that IN 1876 Nc
/ ElrOy was principal OF the Indiana
| institution for the blind. beg 10 cor
rect you in TINS regard. McElToy Wa
never az the head OF any institution IN
/ Indiana or any other State, until hc
was placed III charge of the Michigan
! school for the blind. talso states that
in 1887 be resigned from the Michigan
school for the blind. The word re
/ signed, III this connection is a mis-
! nomer. You should have used the
word bounced" as McEiroy was not
allowed to resign from said Institution;
on the contrary, the records OF the
school, on page 81, under date Of
| August :, 1857. show that he va unani-
mousiy fired by the board OF control
and Mr.. L. G.. Race chosen acting
superintendent in ms stead for the
term ending September ], 1897.
And furthermore | desire 10 say, and
every member of the board VIII bear ne
| out IN this statement, that this man Nc
ElrOy for eight months previous to the
date on which hrs services were dis
pensed with, had become 80 rehellious,
insorbordrnate and generally disagree
able and unsatisfactory 10 the boar rd
that his services would have been dis
pensed with long before the above date
had not the board been held by con-
tract with hlm which did not expire
until September /. 1857. They there
fore suffered HIM 10 remain and draw
pay from the institution, when they
knew that he had grown unfit for the
position which he then unsatisfactory y
| iilled.
LIQUOR BONDS.
McElroy charges that several years
ago | signed the liquor bonds OF Martin
Hudson. his son, L. ). Hudson, and one
Thompson.
It's refreshing 70 find one charge
that IS true. The Thompson place
above referred 10 was owned by /. :.
Hudson.
The late Mr.. Martin Hudson and his
good wife, IS well as every member OF
his family, we're very nesI 70 me
When ! was married, NV wife and J. As
young people, went 70 live with them at
the Lansing House. They treated u.
as part OF tlIeir own family, aud as ten
derry, ministenng % us Ike q father
and mother, when sickness overlook
u; and through all the years that iol-
lowed the most pleasant relations cN-
listed between myself and them
uD to the time OF Martin
/ Hudson'e dasth, at which time
found that ne had named me n las vii
as lbs executor. The Hudsons had
VARIOUS kinds Of assistance from me.
and I never could do too mitch for
them. / even loaned Martin Hudson
ss high az twenty thousand dollars Oh
his individual note without iuaoTFer.
and undertook IN many Ways i0 reCip
rocate with him and his family for pact
favorr. The HudsoDs kept the pfuci-
pa hotoi here at Lansing for more
than thirty years, and we're highly es-
teemed by every body who knew th'm
s.Ened tae liquor bonds as above men
toned, and never signed any others.
