To the Richmond Palladium:
The article signed by E. M. Camp
field in your paper of Thursday con-
corning couple of suits brought by
us is SO manifestly untrue AID unfair
that we feel we should not let it go
uncontradicted.
We have been careful. as attorneys
for the Richmond City Water Works.
not to indulge in any personal attacks
on Mr.. Campfield, who submitted a
bid for some people, as claimed by
him. in New York City.
The two suits which we have recent
ly brought in the Wayne circuit court
against Mr. Campfield came to our Of
flee through other attorneys located
where these claims came from, and
this business came in the usual ordin-
airy way that foreign business comes to
resident attorneys. We never heard
of these claims and knew nothing
about them until we were written to
by these foreign attorneys, and no one
connected with the Richmond City Wa
ter Works or any one else in the city
of Richmond, SO far as we know, ever
knew of either of these claims against
Mr.. Campfield until they were filed
in court by US.
There has not been a thought in our
minds of influencing public sentiment
against Mr.. Campfield in bringing
these suits. The parties whom we
| represent claim that Mr.. Campfield
failed and refused to pay them fol
material furnished in building public
buildings in Ann Arbor. Michigan, and
these claims have been standing
against Mr.. Campfield for number OF
years, as he we'll knows, and he re
| fused to make settlement with these
parties, and the only reason that the
suit has not been brought on them be
fore is that Mr.. Campfield has claimed
to be execution proof. One of these
parties has decided to test the ques
ton of whether or not the transfer al
the Colonial building property in this
city by Campfield to his wife was a
bona fide transfer and for valuable
consideration, or whether it was done
for the purpose of keeping these claim
ants from collecting their just claims
