uuIs-Moore Intimates That Others Are
Implicated In His Financial Dealings.
MANCHESTER, N. H., Jan. eli. G.
Moore was arraigped in the supreme court
yesterday and entered a plea of not guilty
70 the charge of over-issuing Union Pub
Ashing company stock. Attorney Gen.
oral Eastman. for the state. was satisfied
with the $4,000 bonds under which the
Doctor is now held for other indictments,
and he was allowed to go on his own rec
ognition in the sum of $500 on each
count.
Insolvency papers were filed with Fred
A. Young. register of probate at Laconia,
yesterday afternoon, against the Halifax
Mills company and DR.. J. G. Moore. In
an interview regarding these proceedings,
DIR. Moore expressed his approval of this
action, saying that it would put a stop to
what he termed larceny of one of his prin-
cipal assets, which should be protected for
the benefit of his creditors He said fur
ther:
81 have made all the effort to protect
Ey property in the interests of the cred
tors, believing much more could be real
iEed for them in that way. Not having
received sufficient encouragement, in
solvency is the best course left. Most OF
my creditors have co-operated with me,
while some preferred to hold back, and
a tod yuith hn To
destroy the value of my assets.
"Now that this step has been taken, as
soon as may be l shall publish state
ment, supported by indisputable documen-
tary evidence, which will show the public
the losses have sustained myself in the
past three years of unexampled business
depression. Few people have any compre-
hension of the struggle have made, and
however faulty my course may have APP
peared to be, it has been to meet the con-
slant and pressing demands of creditors,
who have
Shown No Mercy. as a Rule.
II believe no one accuses me of using
money in any extravaganza of my own.
While am free to admit of having made
serious mistakes, shall at least be able to
show that l have used all my resources
and all the money have received in legit-
innate business enterprises that have
given employment to many hundreds of
people for many years and not in specula-
lions.
II shall also show that recent financial
difficulties have been wickedly and pur-
posely Inisrepresented, largely to wreck
my property for the purpose of obtaining
by fraudulent means my best assets and
to crafty personal revenge for fancied
wrongs. I shall further show by the same
evidence that while my financial methods
may be subject to criticism, they have
been with the full knowledge of those
with whom | have had business relations,
and the evidence is such that no one lone
official will be the scapegoat.
"When the public are in possession of
this information, the silly talk about hyp-
motto influence over any person will APP
pear ridiculous, and will change the mis-
conception of the whole question which
has obtained in the public mind. 1t will
be established beyond any question that
the knowledge and approval were not con-
fned to the acts of official or one in
stitution.
"After this statement is published, the
public will have in their possession facts
instead of fiction. If the money borrowed
was not in the most approved and regu-
lar way, certainly it will be shown not to
have been a practice of any recent date as
charged, or without the knowledge of
those who were in position to control
and stop it regardless of my wishes"
