advised US by wire that the remains
were now in his possession and we
then Immediately wired Mr.. Neal of
the Neal Funeral Homes to go to
the sheriff of Hennepin County, Mr..
Dahl, and secure the release of them,
and ship to us at once.
The Woodward Mortuary at Mime
apolis did not receive any instructions
whatever regarding my sisters re-
mains from either my mother or my
self, and through the whole matter
acted without her legal authority. We
employed Mr.. Neal from the start and
were well satisfied with his services.
Our instructions were followed and
we have no complaint to offer. We
received number of kilograms from
the Woodward Mortuary and others,
which, to say the least, were very con-
fusing, requesting us to change or to
leave the remains in their charge. The
kilograms which were received from
others in two instances, find upon
investigation, were dictated, sent and
paid for without the authority of the
person whose signature was upon
them. The letters upon investigation
we believe were handled in the same
manner. We are at loss to under
stand the action of the Woodward
Mortuary, for the mother certainly
has all legal rights to dictate how
she wishes to dispose of her daughters
remains; no one else had any au-
thority; and let it be understood here
that my mother, Eliza Edwards, per-
sonally sent the telegram advising
them to release the remains to the
Neal Funeral Homes and has at all
times been advised of my actions.
We now find ourselves involved in
certain legal actions, one brought by
the Woodward Mortuary to collect
500 for the care of the remains OF
Miss Edwards, which was done without
proper authority and certainly was
very unsatisfactory. We regret out.
side interference in our personal bust
ness and want to say to the public
that throughout Mr.. Neal has fol,
lowed our instructions perfectly anc
that we are satisfied in every way
with what he has done.
We hope that this statement will
clarity any rumors to the contrary
and that the public may be advised
of the true situation.
Sincerely,
W. M. EDWARDS,

sympathy for their wrongdoing. These
were not the acts alone of Theo.
Woodland but Theodore Woodland, Nc
Duff Woodland and A. J. McGavock, as
we talked to all of them except Nc
Duff Woodland, but our conversation
was once in his presence.
Theo. Woodard's statement that he
believed that this was only the cul-
mination of a we'll organized effort to
make his business Improbable, is to
say the least, ridiculous, as we have
been too busy attending to our own
business to be concerned about his
affairs. Further, his statement that
we attempted in any manner to secure
fro mhim the remains of anyone he
had in his charge is absolutely false
and libelous and notice is herewith
served to him that we are holding the
Woodland Mortuary responsible for
such statements. On the other hand,
we have absolute proof that the very
things he accuses the Neal Funeral
Home of, his organization is guilty
of and at the proper time evidence
of same will be given to the public.
He states for the Woodland Mortuary
that he was not the aggressor, but I
would like to know what he would
call it.
Certainly if he had any respect for
the bereaved relatives as he finally
claims and that it was all beneath his
dignity, why was it that he did not
recognize their instructions to release
the remains to the funeral director of
their choice?

PHYLLIS WHEATLEY OPEN
TENNIS TOURNAMENT

Plans have definitely been completed
for the launching of the seventh an
nual Phyllis Wheatley Open Tennis
Tournament on Sunday, August 10th.
The Sumner Field tennis courts in
Minneapolis have been reserved for
this opening date and from the stand
point of player and spectator alike,
this will be the gala day of the 1884
tennis season in the Twin Cities; not
withstanding the fact that it will mark
the opening Of what promises to be
the most holly contested tournament
in the annals of Twin City tennis
competition.
Allen Seeded No.
Albert Allen, the youngster who in
the finals of the tourney in '33 rose
to crush the veteran title-holder, Bill
Penn, in five gruelling sets to win the
trophy, will be seeded No. /. OF course,
Bill Penn, who in the past has had
a monopoly as winner in this tourna-
ment, will be seeded No. 2.
Entries Being Taken
In Minneapolis, entries are being
taken at Phyllis Wheatley House by
Bill Simms and in st. Paul all those
interested can see Bill Penn.

In the July 81 issue of this news
paper, Theo. Woodward made a state
ment for the Woodward Mortuary in
the so-called Neal-Woodward contro-
versy.
I wish to say to the public that l
did not conveniently omit" any of
the facts in the case in my statement,
but quite to the contrary made an
exact statement of the facts. We did
not make any accusations whatever
against the Woodland Mortuary, leav-
ing the public to judge for themselves
the responsible persons for this GER
tainly most deplorable situation.
In the IL or Is years that have
been in business, cases have been re-
leased by me to other funeral direc-
tors and cases have also been released
to me by other funeral directors, but
this is the first time in my long ex-
perience here and elsewhere that a
funeral establishment has refused to
deliver a case when instructed to do
so by the persons in authority.
Second: Those of the Woodland
Mortuary did know at the time of
the removal of the remains of Miss
Edwards that the legal authority must
come from the mother. So their
very first act was wrong. Next, after
they had been instructed to release
the remains to my organization and
they refused to do so they were wrong,
wrong all the way through.
In his statement he makes no at
tempt to justify the position they took
in the matter, but on the contrary,
they attempted TO appeal TO public

Brother Of Skyrocket
Victim Issues
Statement

VIM. Edwards, Boley, Okla, bust
nessman and brother of Miss Edwards,
Fourth of July skyrocket victim, ar
rived here last week to make arrange
ment for the disposition of his sisters
estate.
Because of a public controversy
over what funeral director had au-
thority to handle the dead woman's
remains, VIM. Edwards issued the fol-
lowing statement before he left the
city:
Ny mother, Mrs. Edwards, lives in
the country out of Boley and knew
nothing Of my sisters death until I
informed her after had received no.
tice. I take care of all of my mothers
business and the matter of the dispo-
sition of my sisters remains was left
entirely to me.
received a wire from the Wood
ward Mortuary, which I understand
is operated by Theodore Woodward,
McDuff Woodward and A. j. McGav-
ock, asking to take charge Of her re-
mains. Not knowing the firm, but
being recommended to the Neal Funer-
al Home Of Minneapolis, I directed
them to take charge of the remains
and wire me the particulars regarding
her life insurance. On the morning
of the 5th I received from them long
distance call, advising me of the
amount of the insurance and we made
arrangements for the removal of the
remains to the Neal parlors to pre-
pare and ship to Boley, Oklahoma.
Later we received a wire from Mr..
Neal advising US that the remains had
been removed from the county morgue
by the Woodward Mortuary, claiming
that they had been advised by a
younger sister of mine, living in
Texas, to prepare and ship the re-
mains of her sister. Upon receiving
this information we advised by wire
the Woodward Mortuary to release
the remains of Marie Edwards to the
Neal Funeral Homes; that any tele-
gram from my sister was sent with
out the authority of my mother. We
were later informed by Mr.. Neal of
the Neal Funeral Homes that the
Woodward Mortuary refused to re,
lease the remains to them. Upon this
advice we Immediately properly au-
thorized the sheriff of Hennepir
County to remove from the Woodward
Mortuary, take charge of and holG
the remains of Marie Edwards, my
sister, until they were further ad
vised. The sheriff of Hennepin County
