CRISTY STRONGLY

1T is pertinent to ask what possible
motive Frank A. Matthews could have
had for thus repeatedly urging Nash and
even asking him at his store Tuesday
night and wanting TO see him Wednesday,
IL his motive was not as we allege-a
desire to persuade Nash to publish some-
thing Injurious to me-"
Nash testified that in his conversa-
ton with the chief April 1lth 1t was evil
dent that Matthews attack had been
aimed at Mr.. Cristy and he said to Mat
thews. You have landed your man all
right. but I'm doing so you have injured
me and my business greatly. and l feel
pretty sore over 1t. and ! feel that Mr..
Cristy has been used snamefuly in this
matter. I think that the truth should
come out
"Meinhold testified: I was present
with Mr. Nash when he saw the chief
that morning, April l1th. and confirm all
he states as TO what passed between
them at that interview Their state
ments are corroborated In the minds OF
at least two Of the commissioners. to
whom they went that day April H. with
the substance OF what they have testified
TO here and accompanied their statements
with the same words, We feel that Mr.
Cristy has been used shamefully In this
matter
"To all Of these matters Frank A. Mat
thews has opposed no word OF denial or
explanation.
These facts indicate that the whole ar
rangement with Nash and myself was
scheme on the part OF Matthews from the
first whereby he could see an opportunity
10 bring about a situation which should
enable him 10 place me In an unworthy
light before the public and thus destroy
my influence with the clergy and prevent
me from securing their endorsement OF
Mr.. Luther as a candidate for reeppoint-
ment as commissioner.
Taking up the matter of the publication
OF the affldavits OF Nash and Meinhold
in the Providence Bulletin offered this
explanation:
THAT before I gave permission 10 the
paper which alone had asked for the priv
ilege OF publishing, I asked the chairman
OF this board In the presence OF two rep
resentatives OF the paper who were ask
ing for the papers whether there was any
