HYDE IS DOOMED
ALREADY, He SAYS


ppna for him and the newspapers raised
a hue and cry.
IL was reported az being in hiding in
hundreds of different places at the same
ii me. Jokes were made upon it by the
newspapers. Doggerel was printed and
CariCatures and cartoons were published
The name of the Mayor was brought in
on every possible occasion Vicious at
tackS We're made on my character. Pub
lie opinion was moulded against i've and
was poisoned. | had no idea of what was
happening in New York and did not see
"A newspaper.
Hyde goes over the Carnegie Trust
Company failure and says that false re
ports were published concerning his de
posits in the Carnegie Trust Company
and the Northern Bank of New York. He
say that Comptroller PrendergaSt termed
his explanations "puerile and contempt
BILE" and spoke sarcastlcally of the rela
ton between CumminS loans and city
deposits a. condolences
Il preferred to have this case tried in
New York" says Hyde. "and it was not
until many of my friends, many Of them
lawyers, urged me to take account OF the
condition of the public mind, poisoned
as il has been by these malicious and
false newspaper stories, that | deter
mined to test the situation myself
Appended to Hyde's affidavit is young
Mr.. Tiiden's story in affidavit form Of
his experiences in feeling the pulse Of
public opinion. He was requested by
Hyde "to go about New York county and
ascertain as near as possible the senti-
ment if any. existing toward the de-
fendant by reason of the newspaper
stories"
Il went all over the county" says
Tilden, talking in general way a. OPP
portunity offered. discussed particu
larly the Gardner bribery trial. the Car
negie Trust and Northern Bank invest-
cations and the indictment trial and
conviction Of William j. Cummins and
Joseph b. Reichmann. My impression
is that there Is a deep rooted pre- eiudice
that Mr.. Hyde il guilty not oniy of the
crime Of bribery of which he is charged
but of collusion and counivance with
Cummins and Reichmann in the com
mission OF the crimes of which they have
been conv icted. | made a memorandum
