Saws No Theft Occurred
Vendell's Counsel Points
to Exoneration of His Gil
ent by Judge Kernochan

Max D. Steuer, counsel for Eugene
". Travis, outgoing State Comptroller,
Who was indicted Wednesday by the
October additional grand jury on four
counts alleging fraudulent bond trans
actions with state funds, issued state
ment last night in behalf Of his client,
oroclaiuling the innocence Of Mr.. Travis
and his own intention to move for
immediate inspection of the minutes Of
the grand jury.
James A. Wendell, Deputy State
Comptroller. elected last month to sue
ceed Mr.. Travis, and Albert F. Judson,
broker. were also indicted Wednesday
John B. Stanchfeld, attorney for Mr..
Wendell, said last night his client had
been exonerated by Justice Kernochan
a. 9 previous hearing and that he saw
no need of issuing a statement. He
said ne regarded the indictment Of Mr..
Wendell, who will assume Office to-
night. as an Extraordinary proceed
ing
Mr. Steuer's Statement
The statement made by Mr. Steuer
follows:
"Mr. Travis has been Comptroller Of
the State of New York since the first
day of January, 1915. BY the indict-
ments submitted to the court yesterday
two transactions are made the subject
matter of complaint IL was evidently
made to appear to the grand jury that
-
chased by the Comptroller from Fan
schawe & Co. and that there was an
overpayment on them of S10Q $50. The
facts are known to the District Attor-
ney and they are as follows:
'ln November, 1916, purchase was
made of 100000 par value bonds Of
the City of New YORK at 81 and a frac
ton. to be delivered in the early part
OF January, 1917. When the time for
delivery arrived the dealer from whom
tire bonds were purchased te. .dered de-
livery. Funds from which the pay
uent was to be made had not becom .
a"ailable and the dealer was requested
t. carry the bonds temporarily.
in the meantime. she market price
OF the bonds having declined, M
Travis refused to consummate the pur-
chase and accept delivery. Fanshame
.lg the bonds. and f. ally, in Novem
Der. 1917, the matter was COMPROMISED
b. the state accepting 2.012 bonds of
the City of New York OF the par value
OF $1,000 each. at >S95 each, resulting
in & saving to the state on the price a.
VIII h the bonds had feen purchased o,
owe Sss,O00. If the funds from Which,
the BONDS were to be paid fol had beer
available in January. 1917, the bonds
would have been paid for at 81 and a
fraction and would have been the prop
erty Of the state at that rate in No
vemoer of 1917.
Ridicules Idea of Theft
There is no claim or pretense made
by any one that Mr.. Travis obtained
Sor himself one dollar in the transac-
tion. This, however, is made the basis
Of the accusation. that he stole $780,
$50 from the State of New York, be-
cause in November, 1917, one year after
the bonds were purchased, they could
have been bought for that much less.
At the time when they were bought
