Andrews has been confined in the State

was convicted Of transportation OF the

the pardon was granted in order that
Andrews might aid in clearing up the
banks affairs. There are several other
charges pending against Andrews which
tie prosecuting attorney says will be
pressed
Prosecutor Hunt, in speaking of the
parole. said:
1T seems that if a man can make a

ministlation of justice in this State into
contempt than anything else"

BROAD DENIAL BY SCHWAB.
Declares Himself innocent of Attempt
to Wreck ShipbuiIding Company.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. 22-Charles NJ. Schwab
today filed his answer to the crossbill
of the United States Shipbuildirg Com
rany and James Smith, Jr., it's receiver,
Ia the United States Circuit Court for the
Southern district of New York. The case
is that of the company and its receiver
against the New York Security and Trust
Company, and Mr.. Schwab.
After admitting certain of the funda-
mental facts which have heretofore been
established, Mr.. Schwab specifically de-
MES any and every charge of fraud, IN
lawful combination, conspiracy and
wrongful act in his connection with the
affairs of the Bethlehem Steel and Uni
ted States shipbuildng Companies, and
details the history of his relations with
the two concerns. After making a con-
tract for the purchase of the entire capt.
tai stock of Bethlehem Company, Lewis
Nixon and D. Leroy Dresser asked him to
underwrite 100000 first mortgage bonds
Of the United States Shipbuilding Com
pany.
On this matter, he continues
Nixon and Dresser informed me that
the properties were of great value, that
they had been appraised by competent APP
pralsers, that the profits had been certi-
fed by public accountants and that in
their opinion after a careful lnyestiga-
ton, the figures mentioned IN the pros
pectus were safe and conservative"
In view of this, Mr.. Schwab took the
underwriting, upon the same terms Gs
other underwriters providing the new
company would give preference to the
Steel Corporation in purchase of mater
ials
On June 10, 1902, Messrs. Nixon aud
Dresser tod Mr.. Schwab lAey wished to
acquire the Bethlehem Steel Company,
in order to transfer it to the Shipbuildins
Company, making payment therefore in
bonds and stock Of the new company
They offered 100000 each OF bonds.
preferred and common general stock.
This deal concluded Mr.. Schwabs illness
followed and he was absent from the
United States until March II, 1903. Upon
his return he found tie Shipbuilding
Company in financial difficulties and
learned for the first time that many Of
the representations in the prospectus Of
the Shipbuildng plants were false. When
reorganization was proposed Mr.. Schwab
said he desired to take back the Bethle
hem stock, returning to the Shipbuilding
Company the bonds and stock he had re-
ceived.
Mr.. Schwab adds;
81 was then and have ever since been
and am now able and willing 20 return
all the securities received by me or by
Messrs. Morgan and Company, and to re-
scind the whole transa and l hereby
tender the same for that purpose"
His proposal was not accepted.
