Says Note Was GtUen
to Take UD OUn Check

The younger Gambler paid when
what he calls "hush money" was de-
msnded from him. He gave a check
for $4,000 and later exchanged it
for s2500 in cash and a note for
s2o,5OO.
But the payment was wrung from
him under duress, he sets forth in a
petition filed with the Superior
Court in Atlanta, Ga, and he asks
the court to restrain the holder from
disposing of the note.
A temporary restraining order has
been issued and the case will be
heard September 2. 1t promises to
be as sensational as the trial in
itiated by his father four years ago,
a trial that literally showed the war
news off the front pages Of Atlanta
newspapers.
There is a dash of piquancy in the
situation because Asa G. Gambler,
now seventy-two years old, will soon
have as his bride the lovely Mrs.
Onezine De Bouchelle, a young and
extremely beautiful divorcee Of New
Orleans.
The City Hall at Atlanta and the
elder Candler's Office in the Gambler
Building formed the locale for the
blackmail revelations of four years
ago.
The episode in which the younger
Gambler played a stellar role was on
an ocean liner, outward bound, while
the sh,c, orchestra was playing
mellow dance music and champagne
corks we're popping like toy pistols
CLYDE X. Byfeld, head Of an auto
mobile sales company. is the defendant
in the civil action begun by Walter
Candler.
Byfeld took a s25, 900 check from
Gambler after, he says, he FOUND hi'
wife struggling with the son OF TN
Coca Cola millionaire in her cabin.
incidentally, the Byfelds, husband
and wife, were guests of Walter 1
Gambler journeying 10 Europe last JUL
on the Cunard liner Berengaria.

Byfeld says he tried to kill Candle
when he found him and Mrs. Byteld TO
sether.
1t was a moonlight night almost 4
mid ocean when Gambler gave win

was acting as companion for Gambler
two young children.
An orchestra played delightful dane
music, and women with barred shoulder

II then ran down to the Office of my
son, Asa G. Gambler. Jr., on the floor
below and he returned with me to my
office on the third floor. We found that
Mrs. Hirsch was still there, but the
man had left.
Mrs. Hirsch was crying and / asked
her who the man was. She told me his
name was Cook and that she had visited
at the home of his mother and sister" "
Mr.. Gambler then testified that he
called In friends and that conference
was arranged with Cook.

many friends who believe that he
would serve the people faithfully and
impartially as a district judge His
friends say that it would be a great
convenience to any one in Boundary
county having legal business in the
district court, to have one of the dis
trict judges reside in Standpoint. AS
il is both the district judges reside in

republicans - who have heard my
statements. In every speech which
you have made you have singled me
out and attempted to hold me up to
ridicule and place me before the peo-
pie as leech. | quote you:
You have probably heard MIR. Rob-

of taxation. He gets, $27, 1000 for two
years to go over the state of Idaho
and tell you people your taxes are too
high, as though we didn't know it."
Mr.. Alexander, why can't you tell
the truth? You know | don't get any
such sum. For the two years the to-
tai cost of my department will not
exceed $4,000 This is only one of the
many rank statements you are maxi
ing, and while | dislike TO discuss this
tax question from political stand
point. / feel that the statements you
are making should not go unques-
toned.
You are in the habit of offering one
thousand dollars to anyone who will
disprove a statement made by you. |
accept your challenge and will forfeit
one thousand dollars if the above
L
ask that the following gentlemen be
named to decide who is right: ]. w.
Robinson, ex-mayor of Boise; E. Van
Deusen, state auditor, under your adj
ministration; and Howard Smell, pres
ent democratic candidate for state
auditor. These are three honorable
men, three democrats, and three of
the best accountants in the state. If
they decide that your statement re-
garding me is correct, my thousand
dollars goes to the Salvation Army
fund. If they decide your statement
is false, then, your thousand is paid
to the same charity. An early accept
ance of the offer is desired | shall
in other letters call attention to the
careless manner in which you quote
figures, and how you saved us a mil
lion dollars during your administra-
ton. Yours, etc,
