published in somc Of the newspapers
an imaginary conversation between
w. Boyd Evans and "G. w. Co. Of
Baltimore" Tho Garrett Williams
Company of that city take the initials
as meaning them and havo written Il
lcttor Chairman Miles about it. IN
it they say that whom QUITS with his
wife visited Baltimore they drove him
around Druid Hill park and other
places Of interest about tho city. They
say thoy did the same for Evans when
be visited The city and further than
showing him this courtesy and atton-
ton there was nothing in it. They say
they writo simply to set themselves
straight in tho matter. ThcJ declare
that thoy were astoundel when thoy
read Mr.. Ouzts's "Drama" and state
positively that Mr. Evans mover
applied to thcm to represent thom nor
have they over paid him any commits
sion. They declare that all their
samples ar" sent direct to the board

their representative, Finkell. The

prise and declaring that they had
only treated Evans with tho same
courtesy they did him and his wife.
Outzs, in card today replying to
Vance, alleges that Vance had atlda-
Wits to twist and distort tho charges
made against him, and then had them
to al!cge that tho statements wcro un-
true. Hereiteratos all his statements
and refers to the records for proof,
not what others say, but what tho
records contain. IIe takes up tho
witnesses ono by ono.
In starting out his roply to Vance
Outzs says: 81 am glad that Colonel
Vance in his card this morning recog-
nizes tho fact that no has no standing
in court over his own signature and
had to get others to vouch for and
make his statements for him to keep
from being ruled out of court because
Of incredibility. At the September
meeting Of the State board some facts
were developed to which Colonel
Vance took exception and rushed into
print to redeem his standing"
He then takes up Vanco's ailidavits
one by one and analyzes them and
throws buckets Of cold water on thcm.
lie says:
"Colonel Vance said he had never
sold any whiskey to any of the hands.
Does he count himself one? Ifso, he
sold to himself some wine, s.. 30
worth. Tt was contraband, and he
said it was very fine. lie sold contra
| band wine to Constable Howio for
$1.b0; to w. j. Hill, an inspector,
contraband wine, $500. In February
Of this year he sold to j. g. Dorm q
constable, whiskey, 1925. Ho sold to
II. T.. Watts last fall a gallon OF
whiskoy, $1.7O."
