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

of which it should have ibeenr made.
The matter came to him as a Com
