that, we continued to the south until
we reached 78 degrees SO minutes,
south latitude, and the pole was only

time during the dark days quarre1ing,

A Communication.
Morris. MINI. Feb. 18th. 1902.


TO the people of the Village of Morris:
There appeared in the issues of the
Times and Tribune of last week certain ar
ticles relating to the electric lighting con-
tract between Mr.. w. p. Fowler and the
village of Morris, which reflected on my
conduct as village attorney and imputed to
me actions which, if they had actually oc-
Cured, could have been prompted by moth
ing less than unprofessional conduct as a
lawyer and absolute dishonesty and post
tive malfeasance as a public officer. The
charges are so absurd and contradic-
tory, so teeming with inherent improbable
ty, that at first / did not intend to give
them any notice in the public prints. / am
averse to such course now. This is the
first time that l have ever had to go into
the columns of newspaper to defend my
actions, and would not do it now if l
were not convinced that the public de-
served. and my own interests demanded,
not an explanation but a statement of the
facts.
To begin at the beginning, early in jan
uary of 1901, Mr.. Fowler retained me as his
attorney to act as such in all matters
wherein he might need counsel. This it
will be remembered was long before my
appointment as village attorney, the date
of which was May 20, 1901. Ny first work
for Mr.. Fowler was to investigate his con-
tract with the village, and under his in
structions drew new contract or rather
the preliminary draft of such a contract,
and gave it to Mr.. Fowler. This draft of
the new contract was delivered to Mr.. FoW-
Ter at about the time of the village election
Of 1901.
The next that heard of the contract was
when it was submitted by Mr.. Fowler to
the common council some time in the latter
