happened to meet the proper official
of the Missouri Pacific railway the
other day and asked him about the
story that Candidate Bryan had been
for years the attorney OF that corpora
ton in Nebraska. writes William L.
Curtis. to the Chicago Record"
I'VE do not know Mr.. Bryan at ALL"
was the reply. The firm Of Tulbott e
Bryan have been our attorneys at Lin
coin. Neb.. for several years. At one
time the title was Talbot. Bryan &
Allen. and they have done great deal
OF business for the Missouri Pacific
company: but the correspondence and
interviews relating 10 1t have always
been conducted by Mr.. Talbot. who
was formerly a student in the office OF
our general solicitor before he went TO
Lincoln. | have never come In contact
with his partner. Mr.. Bryan, and until
I saw a story In the newspapers that
the Democratic candidate was the at
torney for the Missouri Pacific system
l did not know who he was"
Has he ever appeared In court for
your corporation"
II do not know. He may have done
always looked to Mr.. Talbot, although
he often used the firm name
Did Mr.. Bryan ever participate In
the compensa tlon?"
THAT I cannot cay. 1t would be a
matter of partnership arrangement.
Sometimes lawyers 20 In together for
convenience and economy and yet their
business Is entirely separate. and each
keeps his own fees Sometimes they
divide the business and divide the fees.
That Is q matter OF per-
sonal arrangement. We look to
Mr.. Talbot, and did not know his part
ncrs at all. II they divided the fees It
was their own business"
Were the fees paM by check to Mr..
Talbot personally, or to the firm?"
That | do not remember. It ever
knew. presume they were made out
as Mr.. Talbot directed. but IL did
know should not like to say. have
no doubt he Wi be willing to tell
the whole story. 1t IL enough for the
public to know that the Missouri Pa
cIRc has never employed Mr.. Bryan as
It's attorney, and has no acquaintance
with him. II Mr.. Talbot had not been
his partner the firm would not have
had the business"
