MAJOR ABRAMS INTERVIEWER


"Iou will perceive" Major ~. Clair Abrams
continued, THAT this proposition submitted the
whole question 20 the arbitrator. They were To-
decide whether or not Mr. and Mr.. StctsOn. either
or both Of them, had wrOnged DIR. Forbes. II they
decided that DIR. Forbes had not been wr"nsed by
either OF both Of them, then il ended the matter.
IT, however, the arbitrator. a majority of them,
decided that DR.. Forbes had been libeled Sian
dered BY Mr. and Mrs. Stetson. or either Of them,
then they were 90 determine what damages should
be paid TO DF. Forbes The whole question Of DIR.
Forbes guilt or innocence was submitted 10 these
arbtrators in the agreement signed by Dr. Forbes.
some time later vas advised that Mr. Stetson
refused to sign q similar agreement unless Mrs.
Mathes would also agree to arbitration and
that Mrs. Mathes had refused To do -. As ] had
not heard from Mrs.. Mathes in regard "a this, |
at once wrote her and urged her TO agree to aTbi-
trste, stating that il a fair proposition, and
that both sides could safely trust 20 the integrity
and impAEtality Of the arbtratOrs TO be selected.
She thereupoh signed a similar agreement,
which was sent 10 the Baptist minister who had
started the effort 20 arbitrate. After quite de-
lay was informed that Mr.. stetsOn declined 10
agree 10 any arbitration on the ground that his at
tOrneys had advised him against it. No reason
was ever assigned Why they had advised against an
arbitration that was perfectly fair to all parties.
"You viii perceive that this agreement 20 arbi-
tEats did not limit the question 60 be considered
hy the aEbitratoEs merely 10 . question Of what
damages should be paid BY Mr.. StetsOn, the first
ground Of arbitration submitted TO the arbtrAtoTs
the question WHISTLER or not Mr.. % MrS Stetson,
sithssoE both q them, had ssndsEsd or lbsled Or.

Forbes. II would have enabled the arbitrator
10 have Investigated the entire matter aud Ia pass
upon IT,"
The editor Of this paper then inquired Of Major
st. Clair Abrams a. tO the statement that, il
the arbitration had been agreed upon, there would
hsVebeen no pOwerOf lingWitnessestOtesiify
That j. all nonsense said Major ~. Clair.
Abrams. II feel quite certain that Messrs. Beggs
4 Palmer, Who are attorneys for Mr. StetsOn. have
never stated anything Of the kind. The laws of
this state especially provide for arbitration Be
ginning from Section l22l 90 Section Lac Of our
Revised Statutes makes the most complete author
ity for arbitratOrs. Section l223 especially
authorizes them Co subpoena witnesses, to compel
the attendance Of witnesses aud requires the Wit
hcsses Co obey their subpehas the same as il they
had been issued from any court within the state
II Mr.. StetsOn had signed a similar agreement
nothing would have been left but for the ATTORNEYS
ON both sides Co have drawn up formal agreement
OF arbitration and fled the same, which would
have been recorded in the Office Of the clerk Of the
Circuit Court Of VolusiA county, under Section
l222 Of the Revised Statutes, and would have be.
come rule Of the court, and the judgment Of the
arbitrator would also have been recorded in the
same court under Section las Of the Revised
Statutes.
."YOu will thus perceive that there is absolutely
nothing in this claim. Personally, | have been
ready and willing at any time TO arbitate the diff
ferenees existing between the StetsOns and my
clients."
In conclusion Major 81. Clair-Abrama stated that
the charge that the proceedings were conducted 10
compel Mr.. StetsOn 70 pay money to Dr.. Forbes and
his attorney were malieioasly false that Dr. Forbes
had always been willing 10 submit the natter 10
disinterested arbitrator, or 10 bring his ease 10
