Even in the event OF an arrest he

Explains His Version of the
Succo Transaction.

Thomas NJ. Farley, formerly member
OF the Board of Aldermen and now
Deputy County Clerk, who testified sew
eral days ago in the Transit Commits
sion's bus examination, has sent to THE
NEW YORK HERALD a letter telling his
version of the bus transaction in which
his name had figured. Mr.. Farley says:
1.-THE bus in question was brought
from Bridgeport TO New York and put
in storage, where IL remained FOR four
months, John Succa paying all the
charges and receiving receipted bills
therefor, which are i'm his possession.
Subsequently the bus was sold to Harry
Eautwesser for $500. $1,000 in cash
and $1,000 in five notes of $500 each.
The cash and notes were in the first
Instance given 10 me, because gave the
pill of sale to the buyer.
THE cash was Immediately turned
over by me TO John Succa and the
notes deposited for collection as they
matured. The first note was not paid
at maturity and l sent for the buyer.
lie came and asked me 20 let him off
on part Of the notes. that he had not
been able to use the bus, that he had
met with an accident and did not and
could not raise the entire amount repre-
rested by the notes. He asked me to
take 5000 and cancel the notes.
II sent for John Succa and laid the
situation before him. He finally agreed
and / sent for the buyer, received $500
from him. Cancelled and delivered UP
the notes to him and turned the 5000
over TO John Succa. From the Beginning

answered:

directly and TO tho point:

He then explained:
THE responsibility is on me. You
can rest assured that I'm not here TO
duck anything, and 1 am not going TO
pass the buck. But the matters mere
require judgment, and as long as I am
in charge OF the case I shall use the
best OF my judgment in the matter of

Mr.. Mott then cut short the interview
TO hurry to make a train for New York.

away. Mrs. Gibsons attention was at
tracted to two figures walking slowly
up De Russys lane, which borders the
field on the side. when the CLEAN of an
automobile headlight fell full on the
pair Just for a moment or so.
This automobile had arrived by Easton
avenue and the driver used the entrance
10 the lane to turn his car about. SO

on tho mule she followed along parallel
line through the field and saw the couple
turn and enter the lesser used road
