Mr. Mcintyre made the following
statement Saturday:
"Creditors in New York and else
where through a mercantile agency ur-
gently pressed me for claims, some of
which were not due. | then consulted
my largest creditors in New York, New
Haven and in Boston, who advised me
that the best thing ] could do was to
make a voluntary assignment. ] have
their personal word, fortified by letters,
assuring me of their good Offices,
friendly regard and support"
AS a proof of this fact Mr.. Mcintyre
showed a letter from a big New York
house in which It said that certain
New Haven lawyers had solicited any
claim they had against the firm of
Even Mcintyre & Co This letter fur
Their stated that the house had no rea-
son to fear and sent its own represen-
tative to see Mr.. Mcintyre, assuring
him of their friendliness.
This is only one of many letters
have Of the same nature said Mr.. Nc
Intyre.
THE fact, as I have said that I
have been so hard pressed, is due to
a certain mercantile house, which, al
most absolutely through its efforts,
did everything it could to prevent me
from buying goods where I had for
years been in close business relations"
