several war time levies which both Re-
publican and Democratic leaders agree

France in 1913 and 1919, and became
father of the twins in 1920. So Caesar

BEAUYAIS ASSERTS
LETTER Is FORGED
Stillman Guide Says Truth
Will Come Out-Has No
Interest i'm Case.
NOT ALLOWED TO TALK
Anything Can Be Done With
Money He Comments to
Interyiewers.

Special Despatch to The NEW YoRK HERALD
MONTREAL, May CT will tell you the
whole truth" said Fred Beauvais 10 a
correspondent for THE NEW YoRK HER
AID at his home here tonight. Then he
added; but / am not allowed to talk"
He did, nevertheless. permit himself
TO be questioned on several phases Of the
case. though his answers were many
and guarded, and it was evident that he
was trying TO comply with instructions
not to discuss the case. Then he sur
prised the interviewer by stating that he
had no interest whatever in the case.
Let them do what they like, say what
they like. l don't care he said. The
truth will come out some day and II will
be very different from what some of the
newspapers suppose. Some of them have
been too ready to jump al conclusions"
Remarking that most of the utter
ances attributed to him were false,
Beauvais would not enlarge on his pub
lished statement that the MY Honey"
letter published to-day Is forgery.
Anything can be done with money"
he said. and let it go at that even
when the reporter pointed out some
grammatical errors in the letter and
remarked that it was not in keeping
with his reputation as man of con-
siderable education, a reputation fully
borne out by his conversation.
LET Them Fight 1t Out
Asked whether he would give evil
dence in the case. he said: II don't
think so. 1t is not my case. Let them
fight it out themselves. The truth will
come out"
Beauvais referred to a brief state
ment in a Montreal paper, and when
questioned as to its authenticity refused
to give 1t the seal of authenticity, but
at the same time would not contradict
it, you can repeat it If you like" he
said, "but do not say / told you ! said
it, for ] am not going to comment on the
letter one way or the other"
The statement Is as follows:
Il did not write this letter and have
never made such statements in any let
ters. I do not deny having written to
Mrs. Stillman, but they were purely
business letters which l was compelled
to write owing to my position. / am
perfectly willing that all genuine cor
respondence should be made public, but
| absolutely deny authorship and respon-
sibility where the alleged letter is con-
cerned."
