Commenting on this letter Samuel Inter
myer. one Of the counsel for Mr.. Hyde, said:
1T is inccnceivablo that Mr.. Alexander
should have denied that be shared equally
with Mr.. Hyde in the syndicate operations
that were conducted under the name Of
j. H. HYDE & Associates The checks
drawn 70 his order on the Mercantile Trust
Company and Equitable Trust Company,
signed james II. Hyde, s-a' (syndicate
account). indorsed and deposited by Mr.
Alexander, amount to sol, 448s2, which
Is the precise amount OF MIR. Hyde's protts.
There was nothing wrong OF question
able in either OF these gentlemen In thoee
| transactions and neither Of thsm wiz IN
my opinion ever be called upon 70 refund
penny.
! Tho only wrong and the cruel injustice
! lie in Mr. Alexander's extraordinary denial,
which he il reported 70 have made OF the
| fact OF his participation. While he has
not answered or even acknowledged Mr..
Hyde's letter and has put out no author
lied denial, he has allowed 1t TO be under
! stood that Mr. Hyde's statement OF ms
| participation il untrue.
when the facts as to these syndicates
! are known it will be found that these gen.
tlenen acted within their legal and moral
| rights and for the best interests Of the
| sooi e. 49,.
| 1T is an azing that a camp align OF VIM
cation and misrepresentation such as TINS
has been can be waged on such slender
| foundations II there is single snecltc
! charge Of wrongful or questionable a't
| on Mr.. Hyde's part we Rave still to learn
what it is.
when the smoke Of this dfgrsceim
/ struggle by this young II ans sustee 10
/ take from his ward the value Of his prop
! erty clears away and We are PERMITTED
/ calm ly to view the treacEery and selfishness
Of tho brutal assault everybody viii won
der on what IL was based and why TIE out
rage was countenanced.
When the fact that this letter had been
given out by Mr.. Hyde was made public
| Mr.. Alexander gave out two letters. The
Art wa, hi' reply to Mr.. Hyde whioh
was a follow:
Jau,. H. nude, F'or 100 B'SSdSqS, Ne"

DEAR Sir / haze read in the news
D arers Of yesterday Mr.. Hyde's conmuni.
cation addressed to you under date OF
! April IS | deny that have ever know
ingly participated in the profits Of any
syndicate formed for the purpose Of under
writing bonds or securities Of which the
society was TO become purchaser Mt
Hyde's statement 20 the contrary IA in
correct I do not know who composed
the syndicate which MIR Hyde describes
az James II. Hyde and Associates
The records Of this so-called syndicate
are all in the pofs ssicn Of Mr.. HyCe. /
have been denied access to them, despite
repeated requests FOR the facts which they
contain l have repeatedly stated to MI
Hyde that would not DO a participant
in any syndicate formed for the purpose
Of selling the securities nderwrttten by
il TO the society, and have cautioned him
against involving himself in such PARTIES
patton.
Early IN January Mr.. Hyde delivered
10 me two checks aggregating $4,000
which he stated were profits from my
allotted participation In certain syndioate'
which found upon prompt investigation
had underwrtten securities to he solo
concurrently 10 the society. As soon as
learned this declined 10 avail myself OF
these profits and forthwith turned the
amount thereof over 70 the society's cashier
Contrary 10 Mr.. Hyde's limitations, this
was before any controversy had arisen In
the society, and not upon advice OF ooun-
