of SO Wall street, New York, and
executor of the estate of Daniel 4.
ard John Stewart, today te'egraphed
from New York denial of the stories
printed in New Yorktconcernins the
late Joseph Bryan, of Ric!r:ond. Mr..
Harrison's telegram follows:
"To the Editor of Times-Dispatch,
Richmond, Va:
"I have read with indignation the
distorted account in the Nv York pa
pers of the report of the transfer tax
appraiser in New York upon the es-
tate of Joseph Bryan.
"The estate was represented in these
proceedings by my law firm and see
sole question to be decided was what
property Joseph Bryan had in New
York at his death liable to payment
of a transfer tax, irrespective OF what
he had elsewhere.
"The appraiser decided that the es-
tate was not liable to the payment OF a
transfer tax in New York and nothing
else.
"In his zeal to make the estate tax
able, the, appraiser quite impertinently
and without any relevancy, asked Jno.
Stuart Bryan, executor, about loans
of securities from the estates of
John and D. K. Stewart. Mr.. Bryan
answered the questions with the ut
most frankness, and upon these an
swers is founded the familiar report
er's fiction.
Joseph Bryan was not gambler
in stocks, and he was not short IN
his accounts as trustee or otherwise.
"The securities borrowed, with the
full consent of the heirs and co-eXecu-
tors were all resigned to the estates
of John and D. K. Stewart after his
decease. with the approval of the New
