Forbes Guilty,
j 7
Declares O’Ryan
‘"One of Gang of Conspirators
Tied Together Ncek
and Jowl.”
By Internatlnnnl Aewi Service.
Washington, Nov. 15.—Col. Charles
R. Forbes, formerly director of the
United States veterans’ bureau, was
declared to be “one of the gang of
conspirators who were tied together
neck and jowl to defraud the govern
ment" by Major General John F.
O'Ryan, government counsel, in an
opening statement today to the senate
investigating committee.
“We will give the committee a list
of witnesses who must be summoned
to prove the charge to subornation
of pet jury and perjury," replied Col.
James S. Eishy-Smith, Forbes’ coun
sel. "1 will also furnish a list of
documents which would prove Forbes’
Innocence and which have been with
held by government counsel.”
"Colonel Forbes I regard as Irre
sponsible,” said O’Ryan. "I expect,
however, to prove much more than
irresponsibility in bis conduct of office
and in his lack of care of the dis
abled.
"But Colonel Easby-Smtth is an
officer of the court and responsible. 1
ask him here and now if he has any
proof of any improper action toward
any witness upon my part or upon
the part of Major Arnold (assistant
counsel).”
To Subniitt Proof.
Colonel Easby-Smith sold he did not
specify who had corumittQtf the "im
proper action,” but that he would
submit proof to support every word
of Forbes’ counter-charges.
-General O'Ryan, then resumed his
cross-examination of Forbes.
"Did you have an altercation with
Mortimer on Labor day. 11*22?"
O'Ryan asked.
"I don't recall." Forbes replied.
"Did you have any altercation about
that time?"
“Yes, sir. I had a few words with
him."
"Was this about Mrs. Mortimer?”
"It may have been.”
"Isn't It a fact that Mortimer came
into his apartment at the Wardmati
Park hotel and found you there with
Mrs. Mortimer?"
"Yes, and the doors were wide
open.”
"How long were you there?"
“About two minutes.”
"Was this altercation during the
time when you suspected Mortimer of
representing the Southerland Con
struction company?”
"It was during the period I mis
pected him of bootlegging activities,"
replied Forbes, as the crowd of spec
tators laughed.
Forbes said he had employed George
B. Tullldge, a brother-in-law of Mor
timer, at $3,300 a year, as a mechan
ical engineer.
"You knew he was only 21 years
of age and had been driving a truck
for Williams," General O’Ryan said.
(Williams is a Philadelphia milk
deader.)
“I did not,” Forbes replied. "He
was In charge of the mechanical
equipment for Wiliams.”

Our clothing is not priced high at the start
to purposely show a reduction later — but we

Every man who wants what he pays for de
mands such a plan of clothes selling.
No man or boy can have confidence in any

vast volume of business which this store enjoys
without the complete confidence of its thou

Every day we place in stock many new
