EDITOR P. H STOLL SCORES
CAPT. W. H. KENNEDY.
flinging Reply to a Recent Article
from W H. Kennedy 1 hat Appeared
in The Weekly Mad.
The following signed eilitoiia! is
taken from last week's issue of our
local contemporary, The Weekly
Mail:
During my vacation an article |
from Capt W 11 Kennedy appeared
in The Mail, which in substance save
that I lied in my statement of the
interviews which took place between
himself, the editor of The Record
and the editor of The Mail. This
article was conclusively answered by
the co-editor of The Mail, but since
the matter is strictly personal between
Capt Kennedy and myself, 1
deem it proper that I should say
something in reply. To do this it
will be necessary to ieview the matter
to a certain extent.
Believing that light is the best
policeman aud that if corruption ex
isteu in our municipal guHiunnui
it should be exposed, I, in company
with Mr Wolfe, called uj>oii Capt
Kennedy aud requested him to tell
us where the corruption existed. To
my questiou he replied: "No, sir, I
don't kuow of any, sir. Have not
charged any, sir. No, sir. I was referring,
sir, to the usiug of the dispensary
money, sir. That is what I
meant, sir. Don't you see, sir?"
This was jus answer to my question.
I said nothing more and retired. So
much for our first irifrrvicw. This
interview I wrote up and submitted
to Mr Wolfe, who uiade a few suggestions
in regard to certain words,
and we "both signed it for publication
in our respective papers.
On Monday, the 29th, I was requested
by Uapt Kennedy, through
Mr T.iifiii* Mmitvonierv. to call at
his office. I did so. He informed
me that I reported him as saying
certain things in the interview on
Saturday that lie did not say. That
lie did uot say that the dispensary
fund had been used for working the
streets, but that he had asked me,
' JIow about the dispensary fund?"
, I insisted that my rejwrt was correct,
and lie was willing to take an
affidavit that he was wrongly quoted.
He then called Mr Montgomery and
Mr Hemingway and asked them if
^tthey heard him say it, and they said
they did not hear him. They did not
say that he didn't, but simply that
they did not hear hint. I then said
that both Mr Wolfe and myself
- * - ? i
would take an affidavit tiiat lie am.
He then with gloat emphasis, said:
-"I will be damned if I said it!" I
then told him that the town council
hud a perfect right to use this
money any way they w ished, and as
I only wanted charges of corruption,
I was perfectly willing to change
the article if Mr Wolfe would. And
right here let me say that any man
with an ounce of sense will readily
understand that I could not change
it without. Mr Wolfe's consent. Both
his name and mine were signed to it
and we were jointly authors of it.
Each of us had a copy for publication
and neither could alter the
6igncd statement of the other without
permission. In fact, if either of
tis had done so it would have been
forgery. I tried to explain this to
Capt Kennedy and thought I had
succeeded, but from his article I am
forced to believe that he ^ either a
fool or a wilful falsifier.
I left him with a clear understanding
that the part referring to
using the dispensary money would
be left out if Mr "Wolfe agreed. If
he would not consent to change his
statement it would appear as it was I
written. Mr Wolfe, at my request, |
agreed to omit what we are both
* ready to swear was said?viz: that
the dispensary money was used by
the council to work the streets?and
Capt Kennedy's statement was published
as I agreed to publish it. It
% J i it.
is true tnat l was asKea oy iue
tain to add this question: "What
about the dispensary fund?" This,
though, I refused to do, as it was
not relevant to the subject. If he
had said the dispensary money had
been misused and stilted where, it
*ould have been the information I

The above are the facts ami any
I statement to tic- contrary is absoj
lately false.
Ami now Id's a ttaJyze the Captain's
position in this matter ami
probe for reasons actuating him. It
appears that the ex-mayor is very
sore over his defeat of two years ago
and lias been trying to throw discredit
on the present council. Faultfinding,
it seems, is the only balm he
can find for the cankerous sore that
troubles him and he is ever applying
it in profusion. Doubtless he would
like tn )??? iimvnr aouiti and as the
election will soon be on thought
that a little insinuation here and
there and a big loop hole yonder
where he could slip out if cornered, |
would be good politics on his part.
So a few unconunittal letters to the
press, letters that did not specify
auything wrong, yet, at the same
time, made the public think that
something was rotten, were written.
The average'reader never asks for
facts, but assumes as true any statement
made in print, and this wily
ex-mayor would have doubtless had
smooth sailing had not the local
press iu its search for facts asked
him some questions which took the
wind from his sails. The questions
asked clos.d his loop-hole and shut
him in. Our request to specify
placed the ex-mayor in a predicament
and now lie is trying to distract
attention by maliciously and
falsely accusing me with niisrepreof
facts. He claims that
Messrs Montgomery and Heming-j
way will affirm the truth of his
statement. This I do not believe,
for I consider them honorable and
truthful young men who would not
tell a lie to get their employer out
of an unpleasant situation.
For my position in this matter 1
have no apologies to offer. I interviewed
Capt Kennedy in order to
get facts and if possible set right
the minds of the people on the
affairs of the town council. 1 have
no axes to grind and would gain
nothing by perverting the truth of
Capt Kennedy's statement. It looks
to me, though, that he has several
axes to grind and is anxious to pull
himself out of the hole by pulling
me in it. The truth is somebody is
lying. Either his statement or
mine is false. I will leave it to the
public to judge who is the Ananias.
