KELLEY
GIVES OUT
LETTERS
Safe in Canada Hs Tells Stories
About Former Friends and
BOOdIa SCh0mSS.

st. Louis July 1.-The cross-fre battle
between John A. Lee, former Lieutenant
Governor. and his old friend Daniel J
Kelley, is revealing many plots which
were hatched 70 give the reins OF State
governorment completely into the hands
OF Eastern corruptonfsts.
Kelley. now outside the jurisdiction Of
the laws Of this country, is firing back
at Lee from his citadel in Montreal He
has given out for publication some OF
the correspondence between himself ana
Lee. but Circuit Attorney FOLK mas intct-
nation that the more important CORES
pondence Is being withheld
A well-known St Louis lawyer, who
recently visited Montreal, met Kelley At
hia hotel there Ee knew the Baking
Powder Trusts Doodle agent, ana keHey
showed him the letters and telegrams ne
had received from Lee.
According 10 this lawyer one of the
most important was a telegram warning
Kelley OF his danger and notifying h m
TO fee Immediately from this country
In another letter. written before or dur
ing the last session of the legislature,
Lee told Kelley 70 send him $1,000, as
that amount would be needed 70 prevent
the passage OF the bill repeating the
Alum law.
Lee told Kelley the Republican mem
bers of the legislature were very amen
able to the money argument. The then
Lieutenant Governor furnished Kelley
with a iist OF nineteen members Of the
senate about forty members Of the House
OF representatives who could be
brought"
Kelley was told that tne Democrats
were higher priced and a little harder
TO buy
In another letter Kelley was impor-
tuned TO visit Havemeyer and Fuller. or
the Sugar and Tobacco trusts and urge
them 10 contribute large sums TO Lees
gubernatortal campaign fund. Lee told
Kelley the trust magnates could afford
10 be liberal. as II would be greatly 10
their interest to have man Ike him In
the governors chair.
Between confessions Lee wrote again
to Kelley. saying he was a ruined man
and that IL was Kelley's duty TO supply
him with enough money TO enable him
TO spend three or four years travelling
abroad In AL Kelley has about twenty
five ietters The text OF some OF these
has been wired here from ST. Louis pa
pers.
Lee declared that Kelley forged the let
ters Circuit Attorney Folk found out
from the lawyer who saw Kelley in Mon
treal that such letters were in existence,
but when he asked Lee about them ne
denied having written them Lee called
al Folks office on Tuesday TO discuss the
letters Kelley declares that Lee has
perjured himself. and his purpose In
publishing the letters is to show that Lee
has not always adhered 10 facts.
