possible he made me a defendant in the
action.
His allegations were properly denied
ana the issues would have been squhrpy
met when his death occurred at the
hands OF some unknown woman, Whon
he had invited TO his house at midnight
Nothing more unfortunate could have oc-
CURED for everybody involved, as the en-
tire matter necessarily became pubnc,
and If the truth could have appeared the
harm would not have been so great. but
truth and yellow journalism are at oppo-
site poles. and consequently mass OF
lies. fiction and Imagination was pub
lshed, which had no possible basis In
fact, but for the sake of those most con-
cerned some of these Misrepresentation
must be taken up and met.
First-In reference To the office which
was alleged 10 have maintained in Elli-
colt square. That office was leased and
furnished by me under an arrangement
with another man. whose name can be
given, TO enable him to do collection
business. Shortly after that arrange
ment he received an offer OF n salaried

DETECTIVE STORIES DENIED.

Secondly-In reference to the alleged
statements OF New York detective
agency, whose main business seems to
have been to give their client, secrets
to the public. / desire to say that. with
out knowing what arrangements were
made with them by any person, any
statements on the part OF such agency
tending to reflect in any way upon either
myself or any other person involved are
unqualiedly false, and have no basis In
fact. They are made up OF those un-
founded statements OF this class OF spies
which have become Of such doubtful
value that even in the courts Il ~ now
almost held that the presumption IL
aga Inst their oredlblity.
Thirdly-During the pending OF the d.
vorce action II became necessary for me
to consult with the defendant I'm refer
ence to the course to pursue. For that
purpose IL was necessary that a meeting
should take place here. I'm New York or
at Atlantic City, but in such cases, as
can be absolutely proven. these meetings
were In such places and circumstances as
to absolutely negative any other idea than
the purpose OF transacting the affairs
relative TO the divorce action.
Finally. II may be said that the crime Is
as great mystery to the writer as to
any one. That the terrible notoriety and
publicity has been brought upon people,
more especially women, who have entire
ly undeserved IT, and great wrong has
been done all concerned especially to
the family. which has and must suffer
most For that we must thank the spirit
OF yellow Journalism. which does not hes
ftate to violate every principle OF truth
honor. chlvalry, Justice and sanctity In
those efforts TO make news and sell pa
pers which make that style Of Journalism
one OF the sickening things OF modern
civilization.
