| Byfeld and B. P. Gillespie, father
f Mrs. Byheid, were in consultation
y..I Attorney Rosser for an extend
d length of time Tuesday afternoon,
but no announcement was forthcom-
ing following the session.
Statement From Byheld
Mr. Byfeld's letter to the Atlanta
Constitution follows:
Editor Constitution, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: Your publication of tine
suit of Walter T. Gambler against
myself demands that the truth be
told, no matter who is thereby hurt.
My wife and myself had been, rs
we thought, and had every reason to
think, the warm personal friends OF
Walter Gambler and his wife before
their recent separation, and of Can
der himself since that time. We
visited and took meals at his home,
and were shown the greatest kindness
and highest respect by him, his wife
and their children We thought if
we had any true friends, the Gambler
family were among them.
After the separation, Gambler
wanted TO take trip to Europe an
take with him his two girls, one II
years old and the other 9 years old.
He urged my wife and myself to also
go. lie wanted US to go, not only
for our own pleasure, but also for the
help Mr.. Byfield would give in look
ing after and caring for his two
girls. We finally succumbed to his
persuasion and agreed to go.
Agreed To Take Money
Il was a customer Of his bank, and
as an inducement for US to make the
trip he agreed that he or his bank
would lend me what money | might
lack to take the trip. Acting upon
that agreement. | did not take al
the money necessary to meet ex-
penses. That fact was understood
and acquiesced in by Gambler.
we took ship at New York on
July II, the two girls having state
rooms near that of my wife. On
the trip my wife gave the girls that
care and attention that any good
woman would have given two mother
less children"
Referring to the party described
by Gambler in his suit. Byfeld says
that after the party in the dining
room broke up, 'the balance of the
party want on deck and began taking
part in the gaiety that usually occurs
the last night on ship. Neither my
self, my wife, nor Gambler became
intoXicated-cach of US was happy
and in good humor, but all of US were
in full possession of our faculties.

ately followed her After staying a
