Editor Daily Banner,
Dear Sir
My attention has been called to
an article published in your valuable
paper under date Of Monday, Sept. IL,
signed by ]. w. Mulln, secretary and
treasurer of the Mt. Vernon Foundry
& Engineering Co.
Mr.. Mullin started out in his article
and charges me with having publish.
ed or caused to be publishd with
statements in reference to the start.
ing OF an action against this com.
pany for the appointment of a receiv.
er.
l wish to, inform Mr.. Mullin, the
company, and the public generally,
that ! made no such statement, had
no such intention in my mind and
never did authorize the publication of
the statement that was thinking of
filing a petition or starting an action
for the appointment of a receiver
against this company.
Mr. Mullin could have ascertained
the truth about this matter. IL he had1
exercised just small part and por-
tion of his time to call me without re.
sorting to the writing and publica.
tion attacking me in the manner that
he did. This attack by Mr.. Mullin is
not only unfair unjust and untrue,
some sinister purpose and motive un.
known to me.
/ wish to state that a number OF
creditors of this company have from
time to time consulted with me, but
at no time has there been any effort
or nesting for the purpose of starting
proceedings for the appointment of a
, receiver.
In fact, do not know the financial
standing and condition of this com
pany. The only information had is
from various creditors and rumors
which l have never taken the time to
investigate or verify
Hoping the above will straighteu
this matter to all those who may have
formed the wrong impression and es
pecially appease the unwarranted
wrath of Mr.. Mullin about myself.
Respectfully submitted,
B. Z. SAPP.

GUY BEEMAN HELD
TO GRAND JURY
Examination Before Justice
Harter Is Waived; Bond
Fixed At $500

Guy Beeman, charged with the bur.
glary of the Charles Wilmington gro-
cery on South Harrison street the
night OF Sept. /, was formally arraign.
ed at II o'clock Wednesday morning
before Justice George s. Harter.
The prisoner, the shooting of whom
by Noah Purdy following the robbery
gave Mt. Vernon real sensation, was
brought to the Justices court by Sher-
iff B. H. Lytle and Constable j. B. SEN
sci. He appeared to have recovered
completely from the wounds caused
by the hundreds of gunshot that had
peppered his person
The proceedings in the court were
few and simple. The charge, sworn
to by Charles Wilmington, was read
to the prisoner by Justice Harter. Bee
man gave an interested attention to
the reading but with it carried an air
Of unconcern.
Beeman disclaimed knowing Whit
tington. He offered a plea of not
guilty to the charge. The jurisdiction
of the court being limited to examina-
tion and to holding the accused to the
common pleas court Beeman was per-
mitted to waive examination and ac-
cordingly was held to the next term
of the common pleas court under $500
bond. He was committed to the coun.
ty Jail until suitable and acceptable
bond may be given.
The evidence against Beeman will
be laid before the grand jury at its
coming session.
