DENIAL
Made By David WGStWatGr
In Columbus Courts
To Suit OF James WGStWatGF
For Accounting
involving Stock In Mt.
Vernon Bridge Co.
columbus JournaD

Making a complete denial of the
charges of Misrepresentation and con-
version contained in the suit of his
brother, in which the return of $780,
900 worth of stock of the Mt Vernon
Bridge Company, alleged to have been
unawfully appropriated, was asked,
and an accounting of S745, 1896, al
legged to have been collected as trus-
tee for the firms of James Westwater
& Co. and Westwater and Casey from
the city of Columbus, for building the
Columbus filtration plant, and from
the library trustees for building the
public library, was sought, David
Westwater today filed in common
pleas court an answer and cross-peti-
tion to the suit of James Westwater.
He alleges that the stock of the
Mt. Vernon Bridge Company, of
which James Westwater is president,
was transferred to him by his broth
er to secure him for large sums of
money, 100000 in all, advanced TO
pay off debts of his brothers compan-
les.
Answering the allegation that he
had sold $50 600 worth of bridge com
pany stock for $4,000, without his
brothers consent, and had retained
the money, he attaches an exhibit in
the form of an affidavit signed by
James Israel and l. M. Wolverton, to
whom the sale was made, showing
that James Westwater, complainant,
personally conducted the negotiations.
1t is further ayerreI that a part of
the porceeds went to pay off pressing
debts in California for James West
water. The latter is alleged to have
turned over the stock in person and
to have received the drafts in pay
ment.
1t is denied in the answer that Dav-
id Westwater has ever refused to ac-
count with James Westwater in full.
The answering petitioner afiirms him
self to be heavy creditor by reason
of the money advanced to carry on
the business of his brothers compan-
les, and declares he has been only
partly reimbursed for money which
he expended.
The books and accounts of the two
are now in the possession of his
brother. He denies alleged unwar-
ranted tenure of real estate trans
ferred to him by his brother. Money
borrowed on this real estate, he says,
only partly reimbursed him for his
own money expended.
He further says that through a
mistake in the deed of assignment by
which he assumed the debts of his
brothers firms it was made to appear
that he assumed only the debts of
James Westwater individually, while
really assuming debts of the compan-
les. He therefore prays that the er-
ror may be corrected. Judgment for
the amount claimed and a deere for
the sale of the stock in question in
satisfaction are asked.
Wilson & West are his attorneys.

1t has been known for some time
that the exclusive guild of automobile
owners enjoyed rights and privileges
in the courts and tribunals OF Greater
New York, which are denied to the
common "auto-less" herd. Now, how
ever it has been established by ju-
dicial decision that chauffeurs, as the
high priests of the select guild are
sacred and must be treated with prop
er respect by the canaille. A young
man was arrested the other day and
fined ten dollars, because he had iok-
ingly and irreverently spoken to a
chauffeur. The young man, being in
particularly good humor, asked the
chauffeur whether he was married.
When the chauffeur answered in the
affirmative, the young man said to
him, why, then, are you not at home
with your wife?" The chauffeur had
him promptly arrested and the mag
istrate fined the prisoner ten dollars.

Mayor Gaynor, whose election last
fall caused some misgivings in the
minds of the better class of citizens
has given them an agreeable surprise
In the few months of his administra-
ton he has won for himself an en-.
viable record and almost every week
he adds further proofs of his ability
and efficiency. He has already ac-
complished great deal in the way
of stopping graft and extravaganza in
the expenditure of public funds and
is still continuing the good work. The
other day he put his foot upon the
proposition to provide and maintain
an automobile for the Coroner of
Richmond borough. In his letter.
squelching the little scheme, Mayor
Gaynor proved himself somewhat of
humorist, by stating that walking
is good in the Borough of Richmond"
as he knew from his own experience.

ry his beloved Rosie. He obtained a
marriage license, but owing to an un-

wedding had to be postponed. Jake
carefully put away the license for fu-
ture use. The other day the postponed
marriage was to take place and sew
eral hundred guests were assembled
to witness the ceremony and take
part in the feast to follow, when the
discovery was made that by the mis-
take of the license clerk Jake had
been given the wrong license. There
was great CONSERVATION and Jake
started out to have the mistake cor
rected. The license clerk was in bed
when Jake pounded on his door, He
positively refused to make night
trip to the City Hall to make out an
other license and nothing remained
but to postpone the wedding once
more.
