Mr.. Arthur says that he "did not
Charge Capt. Anderson $500 or any
other sum-" but that he considered
that sum no more than reasonable
for his services in three suits brought,
though he subsequently consented
to considerable reduc ton even of
this amount, in order to enable Capt
Anderson to bring the case to q
speedy trial and to end his conten-
tions with his wife, and settlement
between us was reached; but every
thing was again thrown into confus-
ion by the presentation of claim for
Mrs. Anderson's board and lodging in
Seattle since the separation.
Mr.. Arthur indignantly denies
Capt. Anderson's charge of "collu-
sion" with his wife's attorney, Mr..
Allison, and refers to his record as
president of the Washington State
Bar Association and to his having
been for sixteen years secretary of
the King County Bar Association as
evidence that he is, not that kind of
an attorney. He further says that
Mr.. Allison "has not received a dol
lar of Capt. Anderson's money and
that he (Arthur) has "many a time
given him money to get meal when
he was penniless, destitute and hun
