Miss Ethel Conrad explained yesterday
the trouble" she had with James NJ Far

said. 81 was arrested. At that time
was staying with the Farleys in Platts-
burg Mr.. Farley came 10 my room IN the
prison on his return 10 town, and init
mated that he believed there was truth in
Mr. Millers SANDER.
Il resented this. and ordered him out OF
the room Later. however. after AIr. Farley
had talked 10 Mr. Moore whom he asked
70 defend me. he there was no truth
in what Miller had said. and since that
time he has treated me like daughter. /
consider him a very dear friend. That was
all there was TO it. The story that threat
ened TO shoot Mr.. Farley is ridiculous.
Mr. Farley denied absolutely that Miss
Conrad had ever attempted 70 assault him
or threatened 70 shoot him.
When Robert NJ. Moore. counsel for Miss
Graham and Miss Conrad. was asked II
Mr. Farley would furnish bail for the
young women, ne replied that Mr.. Farley
had made no offer TO 90 so. Counsel for
the defence" said Mr.. Moore, would be
very glad To accept bail from any one who
chose 60 offer IT, The trouble Is. 40 good
