Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatchl
New YORK, March 25.-George L. Up
shure, who is Coleman Dray toms intimate
friend, was besieged at the Utfion club by
reporters day: Where is MIR. Dray-
tons'' asked the reporter.
II don't know. We parted at the ferry,
but upon my honor 1 do not know where
he went"
''Is it true that you would agree to be
Mr.. Draytons second if he should chal-
lenge Mr.. Burrows?"
81 am Mr.. Drayton's friend,n was the re-
ply. He has but to command me and
am at mis- service here or elsewhere, at any
time or under any circumstances.
Everybody with any acquaintance with
MIR. Drayton knows him to be the soul of
honor, he gave his word that he would see
the reporters Wednesday evening IN til g
Windsor hotel. AT $3.50 when he found
That he could not keep MS word because of
tue fog which delayed him in reaching
shore IN the tug, he expressed his regret
and talked about it for hours"
what do you think of the reported
statement made by Mr.. Burrows that he
denies having any intimacy with Mrs.
Drayton!"
ut is too delicate a subject to discuss
This fellow Burrows is making a fire ex-
hihition of himself. Now, it is generally
known that one of his friends or seconds
gave the correspondence between Burrows
and Drayton TO the press. Of course he
had mercenary motives and got some money
for it, but it is accepted as fact that they
would never have permitted a line to get
in the papers if Burrows had not con-
sented to it. Here is the way il stands:
The two men who acted as Burrows friends
made acertsin statement to what they were
pleased to cal jury of honor, and on the
strength OF the decision made by that Jury.
this fellow Burrows sneaked out of duel
with Mr.. Drayton. The suppositonal
case presented to the Due de Morny was
without question of uoubt. On the
strength of the statement by Burrows TO
these two friends, one of whom, Mr. Mil
bank, is now III this country, Burrows
vlndlcatlon seemed to be, in the opinion OF
his two friends complete for this cowardly
attack on another mans home and family.
1t appears that this was done for the ex-
press purpose of evading a meeting He
had no excuse and put forward the ex-
traordlnary statement which has been
given such wide publicity by one of the
M n who lent his name to it. If Burrows
was man Of courage he would stand by
the men who were his friends and say
that he authorized them to write the much
talked of DUO de Morny,lc.ter; he would
hold to it through thick and thin. This
new phase put on the case by his later
statement is confession that he was
liar in allowing his friends to make out the
case they did to the Due de Morny and still
morea that he was an arrant coward in
sneaking out of meeting with Mr.. Dray-
ton under such pretext."
Then you think he wanted to get out
OF meeting Mr.. Drayton?"
Most assuredly. His actions show that
very plainly"
You think he was wrong in permitting
Nib pk and Eos to present such case to
the Duo de Morny!"
Wrong! Why, twas Infamous Rather
thousand duels than such an exhibition.
1t has been condemned on every side.
suppose the sentiment against Burrows
y as SO strong that it was the cause of his
telling the tale he did on his arrival
"Will this last statement hurt him any?'
'Oh, no; not bit. He was never popu-
lar, but now he will be cut on every side.
He must stand the sneers and jibes Of
every h0dy -
