In Justice 10 the newspaper PROBES
sion. The Times-DisDatch thinks il
only fair to point out that every pa
pe- so far as IL IS informoi. when
published the erroneous and misleading
accounts OF the proceedings by tue
state Of New York FOR the appralsai
Of the estate in New YORK OF the la'e
Joseph Bryan has FASTENED 10 maAe
all honorable amends.
The World. The Times, The sun. me
American. OF New York. and the Cnar-
lotte Observer aud Birmingham Age
Herald have voluntarily printed state
ments showing cnat the interences CIV
en- currency in the irst articles appear
M in those papers were uHfounHe-
and untrue
In addition. editorial explanations N
Justice TO Mr.. Bryan were published
In several papers.
The New York World said. ed
torially:
I'm Justice 10 Nan OF High Honor
Entirely erroneous differences were
drawn from the testimony taken be
fore the appraiser In the matter ~
the estate OF the late Joseph Bryan.
Of Richmond. Va
There il nothing 20 show ;nat Mr.
Ervan lost large sums of money by
Gambling in Wall street, and that
there was shortage of more than
$500. 600 in the accounts Of Two es-
tates Of which he was trustee II j.
truc that Mr.. Bryan owed large sums
~ rno,e,- in New York at the time
Of his death. but the difference between
his debts and the value Of his col
lateral 10 his credit was less than
500 900. and this was paid "n by his
executors in the ordinary course OF
settling up the estate. IL is also true
that part Of the securities az the two
estates of witch he was the truste"
was held in mis- name, nut this was
In accordance with a general agree o.
uout. aud these securities were IN
vested and rcinvested by him from
time TO time for the benefit Of the
parties in interest
.Thc report or a shortage seems
10 have come from certain questions
addressed TO John stewart Bryan nv
the attorney for the state Comptroller
A. the appraisers hearing. John stew r.
art Bryan. who is editor NJ the fHch-
nond News Leader. and j. thorough
~ familiar with all his fathers ar
fairs. is authority for the statement
that there was no misuse OF trust
funds. no debts of $3.50. 600. and 10
WALL street gambling
As most Of the leading New YORK
papers were misled in this matter II
* only fair To- the memory Of the
