TOWLE IN REPLY.
His Dealings With the Blythe
Heirs INDICATED.

George w. Towle Jr., OF the law firm Of
McKoon & Towle, has addressed letter to
Judge Cotfey, in reply to the accusations OF
bad faith contained in an epistle from one Of
the Liverpool Blythe heirs, Thomas Nelson
White by name. Mr. Tow lie says:
The facts In he matter are few and simple. In
1884 Mr.. MacDermOt in consideration OF the
conveyance TO him OF an interest In the es'nte,
agreed to advance sum certain toward the ex-
pense attending the prosecution OF the claims OF
The Liverpool BlytheS, sO-calcd. aud In consider
alton of a like conveyance McKoon g. FOWL; uli-
dertook 10 render services as attorneys In the
matter. Later, a corporation WAS formed, aud
all parties In interest. including MIR. MacDermot
and MckOUn 81 Towle, conveyed their interests
to the corporation. and the corporation was sub
stituIed in their place as claimant.
The sum which Mr.. MacDermot had agreed TO
advance was found insufficient some time before
the case came to n tnal, and further sums were
obtained here from other sources on the credit
of The claim, which fact was communicated ny
malt to Liverpool in June, 1889, MIR. MacDermOt
being then in England, aud in communication
with Mr.: White, a, | am informed. Your de-:
eision was adverse 10 the claims OF the Llverpo0
Blythes aud the Blythe Company, their success
sor. The company WAS then defeated, without
funds, but not In debt. Mr.. While and others
were notified OF The situation and requested 10
provide necessary funds To proceed with The con-
test. hey did not do SO.
He and they were then notified that an assess
ment would be resorted TO and OF the result, TO
their Interest, II The assessment was not paid
and lie and they were urged 10 protect their In
terest, they being informed that Mr.. MacDer-
mot was willing 10 contribute to the further
prosecution of the defeated claim In proportion
TO his interest therein, and Mckoon & Towle
representing that. in their opinion. the decision
10 favor OF Florence would not stand the test OF
an appeal and that The decision In favor OF the
Williams claimants, so-called, was against the
weight their own evidence Neither Mr. White
nor the others In Liverpool chose 10 pay the as
sessmenl but, so lar, none OF The claimants, ex.
cept Mr.. White, has complained OF the course
pursued In the matter.
p
they regarded as their plain legal duty IN the
premises, the result being that their interests
received for services, were subjected 10 the
burden OF the assessment. What the extent OIL
those services has been you know in part.

Is stated in THE CALL OF this morning, l would
suggest the model adopted by the pOstOflice of
Italy. 1t answers all the conditions asked for
"prolection ag inst rain, sleet, snow, dust and
the ordinary methods of letIer-thieves" The
Italian mail-box has another advantage. There
is no key 10 it. and It's eOnteuts dtop into the

seen or distracted. By a simple device the let
ter. bag opens and CLOSES The box, and, Vice versa
Is opened and closed by the latter; so that after

Tying fact 10 San FranciscanS to know that II
NJ. Stanley selected /. W. Taber OF this city to
photograph himself and his African boy Osman
in preference TO any other photographer In the
United States. Mr.. Stanley has visited large
number Of Eastern cities, but waited until he
reached San Francisco before complying with
the numerous requests 10 have himself photo
graphed. His choice was OecasiOned no doubt
by The national reputation which Taber's photos
bear for their excellence and perfection. Per-
haps the work OF no artist in this country is ad-
yeriised aud exhibited more than that OF |, w j.,

note seldom come to this city without visiting
the gallery of the abOye-named artist. This GER
tainly speaks well for San Francisco for al
though IL Is frequently referred to as a trifie
slow IN some respects, il can hold lis own IN The
art OF photography.
