BUSINESSMAN,
CHARGES APLOT
At SHAKE DOWN
Continued from First pare.)

Smith organized the Texas Eureka
concern, with a capital Of $1,0o0,-
600, Blakemore says he was sent to
Chicago to handle legal matters in
connection with Incorporation.
Plans were then formulated to con-
solidate the Texas Eureka and the
Pillow City. Blakemore says the
Plow City REPRESENTED a capital
stock investment Of $4,000, OF
which he held $1,000. He claims he
grew suspicious when Smith pro-
posed to list the Pillow City stock
at $4,000 and refused to have
any more to do with the transac-
ton. Later he filed suit in circuit
court for a receiyership for the
Plow CITY. The legal aspect Of the
fight then shifted to Kansas, where
Blakemore claims he secured a
judgment for several thousand dol
lars, covering his financial connecA
ton with the Pillow City company.
Satisfied with this, he said. he re-
linQuished his stock in the Pillow
City company to Smith.
Admits Writing Letter.
After .Blakemore's attention had
been called to Smiths charges he
made an examination of his CORE
spondence and later announced
that the letter which Smith is be-
lieved to have in mind does not
SAVIOR in the least Of blackmaiI.
Il wrote to Smith, after prepar-
ing the article for the News, in
closed a copy Of the article, and
announced to him my plans for
giving the Eureka company pub
licity OF such nature as would tend
to discourage prospective investors.
In my communication l instructed
Smith to examine the article careo
fully and let me know IL it was not
true in all its details. / never got
a reply to that letter, and the article,
as submitted to Smiths inspection,
appeared three or four weeks later
in the News. My letter to Smith
made no demands for money, and
the article l wrote was directed
against the company which Smith
headed and not against Smith"
