she declined to do. He Insisted and
roughly tried to pull her hack towards
the office. In the meantime he was
grabbing at her hag, and opened it and
seized the piece of cloth she had
bought at von Knmp's, and asked
the clerk with whom she had been

company, and particularly as the al
legations of that petition reflect se
roiusly upon the management of the
Silver Department Store.
I am not asking to prejudice the
public mind in our lavor, as the case
must be tried i:i court, but 1 desire
to state the tact* as they really oc
curred, that the {public may draw
their own couclusious, and that tueir
judgment may not be prejudiced by
the sensational allegations of a law
petition that we expect to suow is
without foundation in fact.
The facts ure. that on June 15th,
one of the salesladies connected with
the store suw a lady pick up off of
the counter a certain piece of silk,
and place it in a small straw suit
case that she had in uer hand. The
salesmdy sent tor me, and told me
that she and a customer who was
standing by her, had seen the act
done, and that the piece of silk was
now in the lady's Buit case.
it Is not the policy of our store to
prosecute uufortunales who may take
the property of the store without pay
ing for it. through Inadvertence or
otherwise, but to get the goods back,
without prosecution, and let the mat
ter pass without publicity to the un
fortunates who may have committed
the crime.
I went up to this lady, and asked
her whether she cared to pay :or the
silk site hud in her valise. Sht de
nied the possession of any silk in her
valise at all. 1 saw it sticking out of
the suit case myself. 1 took the suit
case without any resistance on her
part whatever, opened it in her pres
ence, and took out the silk. There
was in tile suit case, a piece of goods
that I did not touch, as it was not
purchased at my store, and then gav«
her back her suit case, with the other
pUce of goods In it. and told her sot
tfie future, her patronage wai not
desired.
This Is absolutely all that occurred,
and 1 am made the victim of a suit
for $12,500, on allegations that are
absolutely without foundation. I
never showed her the back-door, and
never suggested the oack-door. 1
'simply said. Madam, we don't want
your patronage in the future.
I ask the public, therefore, to ac
cept this statement from me as the
truth of the case, which we will he
