PERRY HEATH 'sNEVER
DONE NOTHIN" WRONG
Former First Assistant Postmaster
General on TuIloch's Charges.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June q
Postmaster General Payne today made
public the letter of the former First
Assistant Postmaster General Perry s..
Heath, in reply to the charges made by
S. w. Tulloch, of this city, formerly
cashier of the Washington city post
office. The letter, dated Salt Lake city,
Utah, May 25, contains this:
Il thank you for your letters calling
my attention to certain assertions of
one S. w. Tplloch, ex-cashier of the
Washington postoffice, and also the
statement of Mrs. Winans, formerly Of
Ohio, who is quoted as saying that she
was carried upon the rolls of the
Washington pOstoffice with the UNDER
standing that she was not to render
service to the government. If Mrs.
Wynans did not render service equiv
alent to the compensation received, she
and her superiors were deceived. l did
not know the woman was appointed
and had no personal interest in her.
"By the same token upon the same
line Of comment employed by Tulloch,
nearly, if not quite all, of the transac-
tions of the executive departments in
Washington could be called into ques-
ton and improper motives could be
assigned. Necessarily did not follow
the details of the work of postoffice
clerks; was compelled to trust my
subord rdinates, and to rely upon post
masters. / never appointed any person
to any position or retained any one in
any position, at any time, with any
sort of notion or idea that he or she
was not to render full and honest ser
vice to the government for the pay re-
ceiVed.
''The first distinct recollection I have
of Tulloch was shortly after the induc-
ton Of Postmaster Merritt and the
1Y--~ - L.
Der of Tullochs friends called upon me
singly; and asked me to intercede for
his reinstatement. After I had steadi-
ly declined to make any intercession,
men called and advised me, as a matter
of politics and prudence, to have him
reinstated. 1 was advised that Tul-
loch had been collecting evidence of
improprieties in the postofice, and that
If he were not reinstated, he would ex-
pose them; that I would be made to
suffer and that McKinley's administra-
ton would be scandalized. / remember
to have stated to one Of these importu-
nate friends that I could not conceive
how an honest and conscientious en-
ploye of the government could want
to remain in position where wrong
was being done, much less reinstated
under such conditions, and that as he
had been a sworn officer of the gov
ernment and had not to my knowledge
reported these alleged Irregularities, I
would not and could not in conscience
recommend him for any position.
This is the matter to which you now
call my attention and which was then
at the instance of Tulloch published in
newspapers in Washington and else
where and then fully answered. The
men against whom allegations were di-
reeted had refused to pay the price of
the proposed secrecy"
