The j hooks were audited and from the re I port of the auditing company every thing appeared to he straight, in the i papers appearing the next morning af fidavits were published which exon erated Mr. Willis from all willful mis conduct in the management of the company. The affidavit was signed by lohn W. Bridges, ono of the stock holders who had made the first aecusn j lion. ! However, in Sunday mornings Greenville News another chapter in the ease was recorded when the fol lowing appeared: "In an affidavit made Saturday morning before a local Notary Pub lic. Mr. John W. Bridges, of Spar tanburg, states that an affidavit which he had brought against Mr. J. A. Willis in connection with the management of the affairs of the Ded mond Remedy Co., were groundless, was made under duress. Thursday night about 2 o'clock Mr. J. A. Willis called a News reporter to the office of the Carolina Adjustment \gcncy ami handed him an affidavit, signed by Mr. .lohn W.

The affidavit handed the reporter by Mr. Willis was published in Friday morning's issue* of The News. It was rumored on the streets Fri day that th.> affidavit signed by Mr. John W.

Ar c.hie Willis account for one hundred and twonty-olght bottles of the reme dy sold to the company at $5.00 per bottle, not on books of the company, but the said J. Archie Willis claimed J that the contents of said bottle had been poured out, because of sonic de fect in the preparation. That said J.
