STATEMENT OF ALEXANDER
CASE

Believing that the article about the
Alexander property in Saturday'sGate-
way is misleading so far as the widow
and myself are concerned, | make the
following statement:
That | took charge of the Alexander
property upon power-of- attorney from
the widow, Mrs. c. J. Alexander, with
the full knowledge and consent of the
U. S. commissioner.
Following directions to the letter, l
sold what / could and applied the pro-
ceeds to the payment of bills.
That Mrs. Alexander wrote to me
stating that she would pay all bills
that remained unpaid after | had sold
what 1 could if the creditors would
wait while. l so informed the credi-
tors.
That only one of the four creditors
was unwilling to wait, the others be-
ing willing to let the personal prop
erty rest, which consisted of photo
graphic apparatus which she expects
to use and keepsakes, clothing, etc.
That the widow was not responsible
in any way for the debt here.
That before there was any trouble,
even thought of, the widow had stated
in letters that she had operated a
studio in Minneapolis before her mar
riage TO Mr.. Alexander and that the
largest lens her husband used here
was her individual property; that she
thought a great deal of it and would
not sell it, and asked me to keep it
carefully for her at my home.
That the impatient creditor petit
toned the court to appoint J. l.. Green
administrator, which was done.
That the administrator and petition
er are seeking to have the above lens
turned over as a part of Mr.. Alexand-
er's property.
That on June % / filed with the
commissioner a full and complete re-
port of all my doings in this affair,
accounting for all money and effects,
stating exactly where everything is
at the present time. Any one inter
ested may read this report at the
court room or may use the carbon copy
at my home.
That the trouble in this matter is
occasioned by my holding the lens
Mrs. Alexander says is hers, and l
am doing so solely to protect the wi
dow, as l would wish another to act
for my mother.
That 1 have informed the widow /
was glad to be of service and that she
owes me nothing for it.
shall be glad to prove to any one,
by my papers and lists, that the above
statements are true.
