Affidavit.

Observer: MIR. j. G. Otis, of

when asked if he had any state
ment as to Mrs. Mills denials of
the statement in the affidavit US
ed before Judge Hydrick in APP
plying for bail, said: "The temp

tic is strong, but | have always
deemed it improper to discuss a

Wit made by Mrs. Mills is on file

that l shall say at this time is
that the affidavit was read by
Mrs. Mills, she signed it deliber-
ately, and any insinuation that
the affidavit used before Judge
Hydrick had been "doctored' is
malicjously false. l shall not at
this time discuss her motive for
retraction. Every material al
legation therein will;be establish
ed by creditable witnesses at the
trial.
MIR. Otis, while annoyed by
constructions placed on Mrs.
Mills Genial, as we'll as sensa-
tional headlines in certain news
papers. seems amply prepared to
make good his every assertion.
While his duty to his client, as
he views the case, precludes q
