Frank Ridley, who claims to have
n host of charges to prefer against
County Assessor Williams, stated
that he would positively file the
complaints this afternoon, but up to
q late hour he has not been heard
from.
He declined to give even an idea
of the nature of the charges, stat
ing that he did not care to discuss
the subject at all until it is in the
hands Of the prosecuting attorney.
'If you h,Tes oeen IN possession
of the discriminating evidence for
so long q time, why is it that you
did/not make known your informa-
ton long before this?" was asked
Mr.. Ridley.

whole thing will come to light in

90 or 80 perjurers In this town,
there will be no trouble in making

claims to know nothing of the
charges. II he does not, why is he
going around denying them, and
why is he running after my friends

L. H. Bartlett, who was once en.

police were notified and the arrest
soon followed.
The prisoner was interviewed in
his cell at the city bastile this
morning by a Press reporter, who
gained story from him in broken
English.
He is an elderly man, giving his
age as 81 years. and from his gen
eral appearance it was plain to be
seen that he was used to better cir
cumstances.
81 came to Spokane two weeks
ago from San Francisco" said the
old gentleman, land was looking
for employment as teacher of my
native tongue, at which profession
| have been engaged in California.
Il was a minister in the German
Lutheran faith in Prussia before my
arrival in America at San Francis
CO about a year and half ago.
'1n the southern part of that city
| occupied pulpits in the absence
of the regular ministers, but finally
gave it up and engaged as professor
in a German school.
For long time | have had no
position and on reaching Spokane
was nearly out of money and, after
meeting with failure in finding en-
ployment, was forced to call on my
people for temporary support.
Il think it is pretty rough for An
old man, as | am, to be classified,
scorned and finally arrested by my
own people, with whom l have la
bored since boyhood."
The aged prisoner related his
story to the reporter through the
bars of the small cell and tsars
glistened in his eyes as he spoke.
