BANKER DENIES
WICK SCHARGE5
Claims He Had Nothing to
Do With Appointment of
American Minister.

New York, Jan. 25.-Frank r. Mitchell.
pl vSlurht GA '-C ls2nCU NaciOnal, in
Santo Domingo, tcstifying Friday at the
inquiry before senator-elect PheIau
into the fitness of minister Sullivan to
Santo Domingo, denied he had had any
thing to do with SulIivan's appoint
ment.
Mitchell admitted he had asked Sui
Ivan to help in getting his bank APP
pointed depOsitary of the customs re-
ceipts. This he did not consider asking
a favor.
If there had been an honest Ameri-
can minister there when we estab-
llshed the bank. it would have been Of
Tered without our asking he said.
Practically all the other charges in
evidence against the bank he denied.
Favored Dewitt's CnndidacS.
He said he had had nothing to do
with furthering Sullivan's candidacy,
but had originally promoted the candi-
dacy Of John y. Dewitt, Of Nashville
Tenn. Dewitt had Withdrawn for pO-
litical reasons. he said.
Mitchell denied that he had known in
advance who the minister was to be.
DenOunCes Wick.
Walker II. Wick, former receiver gen
Cral of customs. who resigned his posi-
ton and instituted the present inveSti-
cation. Mitchell denounced as "disiu-
genuoUs, not to use a shorter and uglier
word" It was Wick who brought about
the withdrawal OF the customs receipts
from the BaucO NaCiOnaL He admitted
that he had aided in procuring an af-
fidavit charging Wick with drunkenness
and disorderly conduct in Sauto Do
mingo about a month after the with
drawal of the customs receipts, Mitch
ell said
Denies Bribery Charge.
But that was not the reason
Mitchell said. wick had told secretary
Bryan 1 had tried to bride him. L
thought that when a man falsely ac-
cused me of offering briJe, it was
time to attack the character of this
man and discredit him.
Mitchell explained the alleged brib-
ing incident by saying that during his
earlier acquaiHtanceship with Wick. he
asked him if there were any regulations
to prevent him in joining in an enter
prise to furnish SantO Domingo with
electric light.
