Iranistan avenue had been estab- Iished.
 This is a Farmer reporter talking.
 Mfr Bennett Could you find it com venient to drop down to our office sometime this morning2''
 q could not, said the voice.
 .sYou have read the story published about Albert J Bennett dn our recent issues, have you notZ''
 u have read some of them.''
 Did you read the article in yester-
 days paper? If you did you will ap- preciate that we were very careful to give you the benef1x of every doubt, and now that we have additional in- formation in the form of letter from doubt you wriM be interested in It's contents. As it is short, will read 1t to you"
 A perusa1 of the letter. up to the point where the reIator told of A. J. Bennett having Iocafed- in Naugatuck was interrupted by: s.I thought you said it Twas a short letter s' We'll, it is perhaps not of great in :. terest to you. but there is one part upon which we would like to have you furnish some anIornation (quot- ing T was informed that he was Maud Bdackman. < school teacher. about January, 1911.' You arc the same man, Mr. Bennett, are. you nor, that married Miss Blachnan 2.'
 Yes. but am not concerned in this newspaper matter at all. do not consider that it is any Of your bIzssI- ness ny-body-else,ss
 When you were in Newtown. MT. Bennett, 6id yoA know alnybody else by that naane?''
 .sAs said, am not interss
 sswsre you ever in Waltha1n ?''
 AL1-- who sent your information from there and find out 2'' x.swe have done that, MT. Bennett, and the people there are. of. the opin- ion you are A. J. Bennett. Tn cour- tesy to yourself we now wish you to clear up the matter so that there can De no confusi ion-either admit that you are the man sought, or deny the identity altogether. You will ap- preciate that this matter has now re- cefved wide publicity and it seems to us that you would desire to clear the matter up yours elf
 tsI do not want to have you publish any statement coming from me as am not making any statements. am absolutely not interested at all. Any suggestions might make. would be to write to those parties and tell them to come here and see whether am the man and if they want to get me they can do it. I should think this would be a more pleasant way than by the newspaper publicity that has been given the affair."
 *As matter of fact, MT. Bennett we expect that MT. ONei1 or some rel atiye of A. J. Bennett will arrive here today. As this matter is of interest I to the public we would like to have you say whether you are, or are not, A. J. Bennett. will you deny that you are?
 ssT won't say either way whataver you can find out you can say but I do not see where the public is interest ed .
 Well, MT. Bennett, you will appre- ciate that the public cannot help but feel interested in man who changes ters a Masonic fraternity. Further more, the sympathy of the public is extended to a. dying moth CT whose son refuses to see her Or &C., Knowledge Tier. Are you this Mr. Bennett ?''
 other day when your reporter was around to my offfce I do not want to make any statements
 Will you tell us why you do not wish to say whether you are or are not A. J. Bennett?''
 T do not propose to give you any. reason
 MT. osNeir will probably be here today. Will you say whether you will be willing to see him ?'
 .1 cannot say whether I will or not
 If you are not the same man it would seem that you would have no objection. Do understand that vo11 will not see him ?''
 T am not interested in this matter and therefore do not wish to make any statements.''
 The conversation then closed.
