Nfr Maurice W. Thomas. manager OF
the Old Dominion Electrical ConFructioh
Compary. il. conversation yesterday'
said that on last Friday Re was III Cni-
cago on business. While IA tnat city
he called uuon Mr.. Ktelyn, president Oh
the Western Telephone CONSTRUCTION
Company. upon business connected with
his company.
In the course of their conversation the
name of Mr.. George s Maxwell was men
toned as beinx ~ electrical expert. and
Mr.. Keclyn sail: Maxwell has applied
To rs for a position, and We are nc"
considering his application
Mr.. Thomas was very much surprised
nj this remark and sald that he WAS
under the impression that MaXwell was
in Toronto as that statement had been
made several times by the Richmond
newspapers.
Mr. Keelyn. however, stuck 10 his as
sertion that George 5. Maxwell. late man
ager Of the Mason Telephone Company,
Of Richmond, Va. was at that time In
Chicago, and added: III you want to
see him I can have him here in the course
OF an hour"
Mr. Thomas, however, disclaimed any
desire to see Maxwell. as he did not
know him by sight, and had no business
whatever with him. but he was satisfied
that Mr.. Keeyn. who IS a man of UNI
doubted veracty. had told him the
truth about the matter
Mr. Keelyn further said that he had
roticed no symptoms Of insanity or fligh-
tiress about Maxwell. who was apparent
| ly as sensible as any one.
Mr.. Thomas further says that the Chi
cago people had heard nothing whatever
/ OF Maxwells alleged marriage 10 Miss
Gottiieb. and nothing was known OF him.
except from a business point Of view.
Another account has been printed
which seems 10 be totally al variance
with the above facts as given by Mr..
/ Thomas. This report saws that Maxwell
IS still in Toronto. in which city Miss
Gottlieb is also stopping. and goes on 10
state that Or. Maxwell. OF Louisville.
paid him a visit and found him to be
I'm such n condition hysically and nen-
I tally that he signed the necessary pa
pers for him TO be placed in sanitarium'
! il il should be deemed necessary
II IS also stated that Maxwell faied
10 recognize his father when the latter
arrived i'm Toronto. II is further SAID
that he continues to write the most low
ing letters TO his wife and children who
are at Covlngton, Ky, protesting MS
devotion 10 them.
MATTERS COMPLICATED
These two contradictory reports tend
TO still further complicate matters, Tor
n Maxwell is in Chicago after POSI-
ton with the Western Telephone Con-
struction Company. he cannot be In To-
ronto I'm such a condition as rot to be
able to recognize his own father. and
solution OF the mystery seems to be as
( far of as ever.
