GRIMES REPLY TO RIcHEY.
Charges Assistant Moved Away Because
Things We're Embarrassing.

The answer which Roy Richey made
in the district court to the suit Of
Frank Grimes against him for $1S5,
the balance which Grimes claims is due
him from Richey in connection with
the Abilene bond shortage in the state
treasury. called forth a statement from
Mr. Grimes to this effect today.
1T does seem strange that after I
loaned c. r. Richey the amount of
money to- make up most of the short
age that he is responsible for" said Mr..
Grim es that he should file an answer
in the court trying to deny the respon-
sibility of paying back the debt to me
that he owes. The Abilene shortage
was for $1.175, of which c. r. Richey
of his own volition admitted his re-
sponsibiiity. He wrote letter at that
time to the city treasurer at Abilene
admitting in the Following lang uage
that he was responsible for the short
age: Wherever the item appears of
record in this Office it appears in my
handwriting. It therefore becomes
necessary for me to assume the entire
responsibility of it. I did not see this
letter to the Abilene treasurer until
several days after it had been sent. and
then saw it in the copy book
This letter was written by him and
sent to the treasurer by him. Anyone
can see that he must have been guilty
Of the wrongdoing. else he would not
have written and signed this letter, and
again does anybody think that he
would sign a note Tor any amount ana
give it to another individual unless he
was guilty Of Wrongdoing. He does not
deny the fact that I loaned him the
money. He does not deny the fact thai
he assumed the responsibility, but the
purpose of his answering at this time
is to stay the matter over to another
term of court. He probably has in his
Dossession property which he wishes tc
dispose of SO that a judgment will not
be effective when I get it. He knows
that I will get judgment against him.
Would it not look strange to the public
that man would sign note and as
sumo the responsibility unless he was
guilty? I am sorry to see Rfchey OF
any other man make a fool out OF him
self ike this. gave him every chance

WILL HE PAY THE MONEY.
Councilmen Undecided About city
Treasurer's Responsibility.

The council committee on judiciary
has left undecided the question of fore
ing payment from NJ NJ Hale, city
treasurer. for the S270 stolen from the
city treasurer's office last summer dur
ing the noon hour.
Though the city had no safe in the
treasurer's office and the only way to
take care Of the funds was in drawer
of light frame construction it is claimed
by some of the members Of the council
that Mr.. Hale should have deposited the
money in the bank. The last deposit
made was on the 18th and the robbery
took place on the 10Th Mr.. Hale was
alone in the office on the 18th and goth
and claims that he could not have very
we'll left his office to make the deposit
NJ T. Campbell, attorney for Mr.. Hale,
appeared before the committee yester-
day afternoon and made the claim that
the city was guilty Of contributory
negligence in not furnishing safe for
the taking care of the city's funds
The statutes say specifically that the
office Of the city treasurer must be suit
ably furnished and there is not a court
In the land but what would construe
that to mean that safe would have
to be furnished said Campbell 1.-THE
fact that the city put in a safe after
the robbery had taken place shows that
they realized the fact the council had
failed in suitably furnishing the office
as the law contemplates.
The committee Immediately went into
executive session following Mr. Hale's
statement Of his side of the case but
were unable to agree what disposition
to make of the matter.

A HEROIC FATHER.
Jumps from Loft to Save Child
Breaks His Own Neck.

Garfield, Kan. April 21.-Aaron Mel
son, a prominent and popular Swede
farmer living a mile and 6. half west Of
Garfield, was accidentally injured IN
der circumstances which made his
death particularly sad. He was unload
ing hay into the barn loft when one Of
his little girls brought her baby brother,
p months Old to the barn. The father
told her to leave the baby and he would
look after it, which she did. He contin-
ued with his work. but presently miss
ed the child. Climbing into the loft he
saw the little one just as it backed into
the open trap to the lower part of the
barn. Apparently without thought
Of himself the father leaped after the
baby, catching 1t in mid-air and even
as he struck the hard cement floor be-
low held it up so that It escaped without
scratch. although in doing so he must
have deliberately abandoned all effort
to save himself by lighting on his arms
first. He struck on the back Of his
head and neck with terrible force. He
was conscious when picked up a mo-
ment later, but was unable to move,
and remarked to his wife. My neck is
broken, but the baby didn't get hurt a

in the world to look up this matter and
prove to me that 1t was an unintent1on-s
al mistake upon his part. and he did
not even make an effort to do So
"On September IA, 1905, wrote Mr.
Richey, and said: In connection with.

amount of which 7 hold your note for

matter to the present state account

enough of your reputation to protect
yourself from any charges that
might come from these irregularities,
to come here and assist in the adjust
ment of matters. I will expect you in
a few days He never came near.
Does this look like coercion2
when I first discovered the shortage
of $1,175 in the treasurer's Office and
brought the matter to Mr. Richey'S
attention. I honestly thought, or at
least I was generous enough to be-
lieve. that 1t was an error. and Mr..
Richey tried to impress me to that
extent But further developments
and investigation on my part would
/ lead me and the public to believe that
somebody had stolen it, and Mr..
Richey signing this note and writing
q letter to the city treasurer of Abb
lene would indicate to me and the
people of Kansas that he knew more
about 1t than anyone else.
He speaks of my coercing him to
sign the note and write the letter, and
4 having him to admit making these
mistakes. Does not that sound hol-
low? Mr.. Richey is a good sized man
+ physically and sound in mind, and ur

the amount that he owed me for me

no one ever heard him mention any,
thing about coercion. It was several

after he gave me the note. Roy
Richey at that time was glad to get
| out of the matter as easily as he did
and the public is aware that he was
! forced to resign his position a short
/ time thereafter and move to New
Mexico and hunt a new climate and
abode, as things were getting en-
barrassing for him here

right to the seat of his trouble and

never had any indication of backache
