ex-Secretary Turner, in an Interview
printed in the Pittsburg. Cincinnati,
and other papers Yesterday;
Il have no knowledge of what letters
Mr.. Turner may have published in the
Philadelphia papers. and cannot be eX-

intercourse of several years many let
tiers of personal and private character
were necessarily exchanged, and while

there was nothing in these letters that
l am ashamed of. The means re-
sorted 10 to increase my salary
and build nv house were not as
stated in Mr.. Turner's published state
ments. The money that l paid for my
house was was due me; it was mine,
and l am not. and never was, under OBJ
legations 10 the order for one cent of it.
The cancelled checks Sir. Turner holds
may be Just as he says, but these checks
should be i'll the poss eSslOn of the gen.

the charge that he is dishonest. while L
! never accused him of anything worse
than incompetency. All the money l
have ever drawn from the order was
| drawn on checks, and should be in
charge of the present treasurer. Mr..
| Turner had the opportunity to explain
these checks and everything else in his
possession to the special committee.
