MERRYMAN's REMOVAL.
No imputatiOns Against His Charac-
ter Were Considered.

In connection with the removal from
Office OF CommandaDt Merryman of the
Veterans Homo the Board of Directors
positively assert that their action was in no
way Influenced by rumOrs affecting Cap
tain Merryman'S private character.
They say that il was decided that Merry
man lacked executive ability sufficient to
properly handle the affairs of an institution
containing nearly $50 men.
The cause of these Tnmors concerning
the woman in the case" said one director,
rs found in certain anonymous letters sent
to the directors by veterans at the home,
who had become dissatisfied with Captain
Merryman's management for some reason or
other"
Personally Captain Merryman Is perfect
ly agreeable to the board, but it is thought
that the interests OF the home will be- best
conserved by the appointment of Captain
Dlmphel to :he position.
