Dear Slr-The Evensng World to-

to you:
Down in West Twenty-ntuth street

thing to do with them. You have no
business to Jump at slurring eonciu-
sions and give them to the public press.
The facts are all within your knowledge
and therefore there IL no excuse.
Some time ago Capt. O'Connor wrote
me that - West Twenty-ninth street
was a disorderly house and that its own
err was Mrs. Susan @, C~hambettaE., and
that he understood I was her counsel
and hoped / would assist him to vacate
the property. Ny answer and commune
cations to him were prompt and to the
effect that I kno nothing whatever of
wal my client and I would inquire INTO
the matter n do what ! could to as
sist him..
ut was absolutely no business Of
mine, except to help Capt. O'Connor,
and to aid Mrs. C~hamtsttaz. who was
absent In France, and who believed
was ignorant of the character of her
tenants, I did not even know that she
was the owner of the property. I wrote
her in France. n after some delay
received a request to proceed against
the tenants. The procedure OF the po-
lice had been absolutely abortive. and
on Mrs. Chambettaz,s account, and as
her attorney simply. ! started a dis
possess proceeding in August. n then
discovering that the house had been
subiet by the original lessee, had to dis
continue the proceeding and begin
over again. 1 laid the case before the
superintendent Of our society. M OBJ
