His Treatment Of Widow
Roundly Denounced by the
General Public.
(Continuen from First Page)

Regarding the letter to Chairman
Adams, Grant stated that it was an
offer to contribute to the party ana
the Greensboro News, if she were al
lowed to remain in office. However,
he has not produced the letter, as he
has threatened to do.
c. B. Moore, when questioned today
relative to the Biltmore postofnce
affair confirmed what had been said
by Mrs. Fanny J. Reed. Mr.. Moore
said that so far as he was concerned,
there was nothing to conceal. 1t was
all a matter of politics as he under
stood it, and when Mrs. Reed appeal
ed to him for advice he had merely
consulted her own best interests. Mrs.
Reed, Mr.. Moore went on. had been
a liberal contributor for party purposes
much more liberal than some men
who held positions far more renum-
erative. When Mrs. Reed got sec
ond letter from the State chairman,
or somebody, whose name he could
not recall, seeking a second contribu-
ton for the support of the party pa
tper he answered the letter for Mrs.
Reed. Just as he would have answered
it for himself. The exact wording of
the letter. Mr. Moore could not re-
member, but he protested that it was
absurd and cruel, under the circum-
stances, to say that it was a proposal
OF bribery He had written to the
person sending out the request for
money that Mrs. Reed had always
been liberal in her contributions, but
that her term had expired and she
did not feel it her duty. or that she
was able. to make further contribu-
tions in the absence of assurances as
to whether she would be allowed to
hold the office. Mr.. Moore. added
that he had no idea that Chairman
Adams had felt that an attempt was
being made to bride him. Mr.. Moore
! said that Immediately after the cleo
| ton he had thought of applying for
| the office himself, since none of the
applicants had rendered any notable

from her was necessary in view of the
frank statement made by Mr.. Moore,
which leaves no doubt, they say. of
the fact that she hal nit been person
ally guilty of any improperly.
Mrs. Reed and her friends were at
tracted by the statement of Mr.. Grant,
that her contributing or not contrib
rting had nothing whatever to do with
my endorsement, and that would not
be Influenced thereby Mrs. Reeds
friends say they are distinctly under
the impression that financial consider
atoms entered into the final disposition
of the office, and they said that MT

TO the opposition, has letter written
by a member of Congress from dis
part of this letter read, she says, in
