MAY SUE SULLIVAN
Judge Owen p. Thompson Not
Decided as TO How to
Answer Attack.
USES STRONG LANGUAGE
M. F. Dunlap Also Denies the Allega-
tions Made Concerning
Him.

Jacksonville, H., Sept. 10.-In an in
terview Judge Owen p Thompson has
given out statement regarding the
attack made on him by Roger Sullivan
Thompson made an absolute denial
that he ever directly or indirectly
brought a delegate to the Peoria CON
vention for himself or any other per-
son, as charged. Thompson says he has
been advised to enter suit for SANDER,
but has not yet determined his course.
''the charge being so unexpected and
villainous,"' he says.
No One safe.
He refers to Sullivan as so disrep-
utable corruptionist and has so many
perjurers and bribe-takers among his
peculiar following that no man who in
ours his enmity or i'll will is safe from
his villainous attacks and that "any
man who is vicious enough and bold
enough to arm convicts and Jail birds
and bring them to a convention as his
delegates as Sullivan did at Peoria
shows the character of the man tnat is
to be dealt with
Thompson refers to the whole bari
of this county whether there has been
any partisanship in his conduct on the
bench or in his decisions.
Dunlap Denies Charges.
NJ. f. Dunlap denies Sullivan's allie
cations concerning him. He says that
during Governor Altgeld's administra-
ton the bank with which he Dunlap |
was connected was a depository for
certain state money, and also during |
Governor Yates administration, and he |
failed to see anything wrong in that
fact. Referring to Sullivan's mention |
ing his name with Spaulding. Dreyer
and Stensland as bankers who support /
ed Bryan, Dunlap invited attention to
Sullivan's omission of the names of |
several prominent, honorable bankers |
who supported Bryan. And then says
there was one banker who did not sup
port Bryan and who was Sulliyan's |
bosom friend and political associate,
and that is John r. Walsh. He crit
cises Sullivan's attempt TO brand him
as a knownothing and points out that
Dunlap openly opposed such move
nents as knownothingisn and A. p. A.
He pronounces SuIlivan's charges as
false, contemplate and unjustifiable." ."
