THE CHARGES DENIED.


In reply to Mrs. Archibald's complaint
in divorce proceedings, DR.. Archibald,
says in the Capital that be is glad the step
was taken, that he will contest the suit,
denying each allegation, and bring suit
himself on similar grounds and leave 1t
to the courts.
In an interview he also said she did not
intend to reflect on his daughter Mabel
in his recent statement but used her
name only to make public the true
character of others, and that nothing in
the statement can be fairly assumed to
reflect upon the propriety OF her own
acts. On this same boomerang 8. 4.
Nc Ginnis is quoted in an interview:
As member of the board OF trustees
OF the asylum am taking no part IN
the domestic affairs of the Archibald
family. am informed and believe, how
ever, that DR.. Archibald intended no
reflection on the virtue of his daughter
Mabel, in his statement recently pub
lished, and it is libelous TO go construe it
in public prints. He loves his daughter
as be loves his life. The doctor has made
the only statement he will make in pub
lie until he is heard in court, and it
would be we'll for the public to suspend
judgment until the end is REACHED in
this unhappy affair.
In newspaper statements Mrs. Ruddy
aud Mrs. E. A. Anderson state:
Mrs. j. B. Ruddy: ''Ths statements
made in the complaint of Mre. Archibald
rejecting upon me are simply, absolutely
and maliciously false. can conceive OF
no other reason for her making them
than that, in maligning me, she may
thus divert attention from herself and
throw q cloak over her own pltiable
frailties that have only been too we'll
known for years to more than those
whom she attacks. am satisfied the
truth will prevail The issues will be
tried in court, justice will decide be-
tween us, and Mrs. Archibald must feel
happy if her conscience il az clear as
nine tonight"
Mrs. E. A. Anderson: "Mrs. Archi-
bald would blind the eyes OF the public
by an attack upon Mrs. Ruddy and my
SELF. There is method in her madness,
Her complaint IN every material point ls
wholly untrue. and she will never try to
prove it. The fact that skeletons in her
closet are about to be exposed by an In
dignant husband is the only reason l
can give for her perjured effort. The
scales OF Justice will weigh both she end
I, and shall not shrink from the test,
knowing her and her past ss regret to
say do. She does me cruel. malig-

than she does herself"

the stenoerspher states that the press
