little bonded whiskey reaches that

that reaching Seattle. The problem
there Is with 'moonshine.' All genuine

Rlckard "absolutely and utterly
without foundation."
"The situation Is mystifying," he
continued.' "Mr. Rlckard is at the
present time engaged in considerable
litigation and undoubtedly .has a
number ot very bitter enemies. '
"We have not, up to thla time, stre
ceded in tracing the case orlxrlgln
of thla horrible accusation. Mr.
Rlckard assures me that he is un
acquainted with the person or persons
who make it and that be cannot con
jecture any circumstances by reason
of which it should have ibeenr made.
The matter came to him as a Com
