To the Public:
AS some question has been raised
regarding certain facts testified to
by me before the Pollock Wise in
vestigating committee last night,
wish to submit The following state
ments In Justification of myself and
the Richmond Vlrginan, it being
charged that this paper published
articles written by me which were
not in accordance with the facts.
First as to the contradictory tes-
timony OF President Peters:
The statement made by him to the
effect that / wrote and published in
The Virginian an article sgiving the
names OF five gentlemen whom ] said
he had appointed on the investigat-
ing committee and who had refused
to serve is incorrect.
The present committee was ap-
pointed May IL. The names of this
committee were printed in The Viz
ginian of that date. The following
day an article WAS published, In
which IL was stated that a tentative
committee" had been drafted. | did
not say that this tentative body had
been appointed. The whole centro-
versy seems TO be on account OF Mr..
Peters failure 10 Discriminate be-
tween the expressions drafted ana
appointed"
Five names were printed: Messrs.
Davis, Pollard. Lynch, Mills and
Cutchins, Three of these names were
furnished by a man who stands
closer to the political situation in
Richmond tina nperhaps any other
man. The three names furnished by
him were Messrs. Lynch. Davis and
Cutchins. The other two names were
received from a source nearly as
good.
This gentleman furnishing the
three names l have just seen. He de-
cIares that he did furnish the names,
and that he believes at the time that
they would be appointed.
Mr. Lynch. as events have showed.
was appointed Mr.. Davis, also seen
by me this morning. says that after
the regular committee was appointed

MR.. ROBERTSON EXPLAINS
HIS POSITION IN NATTER
Tells bout the Reported Selections Made for Investigating Com
mittee and Replies to DIR. Levy's Denial

DIR. Peters told him that he had been
thinking of naming him as chairman
of the committee.
A signed statement In my possession
from Mr.. Pollard says that, while he
had not been asked to serve, he fear
ed that he would be appointed. and
in consequence requested President
Peters not to appoint him
Captain Morgan Mills said to-day
that, having reasons for believing that
he would be appointed on the COM
mittee, he asked President Peters not
to name him. as he had to leave
town.
Mr.. John Cutchins said, as publish
ed at ehtime In The yirginian, that
he had not been appointed. Inasin ucf
as he had been asked to introduce the
amended ordinance and had refused,
he expected to be called as a wit
ness. and for that reason. II for no
other, he declared, he was not ap-
pointed.
As to DR.. Levy's contradictory state
ments very little. think, need be
said, My testimony to the effect that
he said he had notified Councilman
Pollock that the dairymen could go
ahead. the implication being that they
would be allowed to feed the swill
"tsA'ot was fuglN borne
out by three others.
My statement was as follows: .'Dr
Levy told me that had told Mr..
Pollock to tell his people to go ahead;
that 1t would be all right"
Councilman George f. Wise declares
that DIR. Levy told him the same thing.
Councilman Pollock declares that
DR.. Levy told him that his people
could go ahead
Mr.. Coleman Cutchfns. former clerk
of the board of health. swore that from
snatches of conversation he under
stood that DIR. Levyq had told Coun-
Gilman Wise that te dairyInen could
feed the swtil unmolested.
The contradiction. ] therefore think,
may be taken at what ID is worth
