Now. my father speaks OF me as 'tha
poor boy and tells how he learned months
ago from our family physician that | was
suffering from progressive tuoerculosh
and was an incurable paranoiac. strange
then. that my father should drive me from
his house this poor dying boy of thirty
seven years who had been earning MS
own living for seven years, and not only
saved $500 whioi this affectionate fathe'

or than many persons believe. His be-
lated sympathy for my mental and pnysl

Justice Mccall has dragged in my

same. Is that a crime? Naturally, wher
lost my position, and still couldn't get
my own money, | could not repay those
pending obligations. But in the matter OF
delay in repaying debts, Edward Everett
Mccall is a past master, according e
what / have often heard my father say
of him, and what | have often learned
, around the County Court House. II,
should be the last one to throw stones
at me in this respect.
Coming down to the subject matter OF
my affidavit. | notice one thng-that botl
my father and Mr.. Mccall are very par
! ticular TO limit their denials. My father
SAYS he never advanced Justice Mccall
any moneys of any kind for political oI
campaign purposes" and Mr.. Mccall is
quoted as saying the same thing.
Insists Story Of $4,000 Was True.
"Why be so particular? Why couldn't
both of them have said there never was
any 81, 600 obligation, that il never was
repaid. that there never was any check OF
the New York Life for this sum paid &c
my father, and that my father never did
deposit such a check TO his private ac-
| count and never had such check photo
graphed?
1.-TWO men can get together and agree
| that a loan between them while really
for a specific purpose, was ostensibly fol
another purpose. But the loan speaks fol
| itself Now / repeat that | often hearC
my father tell my mother and other mem
| bers OF the family about this s2l, 900 un.
paid obligation. contracted by Mr. Mccall
when he was seeking the judgeship, anc
unpaid by him for six long years, during
which. as was often remarked in our fam
| lily, he must have had plenty of time ant
| opportunity TO save enough to pay tn,
| money back.
IL repeat that ii was paid back in 190'
| by a check. a photograph of which | saw
and handled, and that my father ther
| spoke Of It's having taken six years to sc
the money back from Mccall. Six from
! eight leaves two. which brings the date o.
! that loan back to 1902. and it was il
that year that Edward II. Mccall ran fol
justice of the Supreme Court on the Tam
many ticket and was elected. think anl
fair minded man can draw his own con
! clusions from that.
But let me tell just a trihe more
When Mr.. Mccall was running for tn,
tudgeship | distinctly remember my
father telling my mother Of the terrbl,
Job 1t had been to get Mccall the nomina
ton because Mccall was SO little known
and how he tmy father had sat up prac
tically an entire night with Big Tim anc
Little Tim Sullivan. urging upon then
the advisability OF getting Mr.. Mccall tn,
nomination, and that he had only per
suaded them after long struggle.
