Among other Indictments returned
by the Brand Jury yesterday was
one holding John O. Yctscr on ix
charge of blackmail or his connection
with the Hicks-Clark damage suit. This
suit was taken from tho Jury by Judge
Estelle on Wednesday afternoon, after
the plaintiff had rested on direct testl-
mon. Yclsor was attorney for plaintiff.
Last night Mr. VcJser gavo Tho Bee the
following statement.
Last Anril Mr. and Mrs. Hicks, two
strangers to me, came to my office. Tho
woman was crying and hysterical and
tho man was almost beside himself with
anger. Bho related tho story of having
been engaged by Clark, not as a servant,
but moro as a companion for his wlfo,
who was an Invalid, and that her hus
band was engaged to drive tho auto
mobile. Sho told a story of mistreatment.
I went over the case carefully and ad
vised them to wait until I could make
a thorough examination.
Believes rinintlff's Story
"After careful examination I found tho
young woman bore an excellent reputa
tion and had been raised In Osceola, la,
went to school there; then married a
schoolmate and had nover been in any
troublo or never traveled around. I be
lieved her story and stlllk believe her In
every detail.
"I then served the notlco of suit In
Town, for one of tho sartles and filed a
suit here for tho other. But later on,
when I heard Clark was In Omaha with
a larso automobile. I brought suit for
Mr. and Mrs. Hicks for 50.00O each in
Nebraskn. obtaining service on Clark by
attaching this machine. As soon as l naa
these suite started in Nebraska I dls

fnr..i to fleht here instead of with
strangers.
"Clark's attorney came to mo and
trlod to settle for J1.000, starting at 500.
stood for 7.50O and no agreement was
reached. Later they went to Osceora
and tried to induce tho mother and undo
of plaintiff to hire another lawyer and
settle. This' caused her relatives to urge
her to settle the case. Clark's lawyer,
Bherze, came to me and we wero ne
gotlatlng a settlement I had accepted
an offer of $1,000 that had previously
been made. Attorney Sherz went to her
home and In tho presence of her mothsr
and father and husband threatened to
blacken her character It she did not
drop theso cases without any payment.
Then, when this occurred and I told
them of what had been said to me, her
mother and uncles all united In demand
ins a renewed vigorous fight. Then I
started a new suit for $100,000 damages
for conspiracy to coerce this settlement
and for Blander as a part of the con
spiracy.
' IToltlft JniTcro is Wronit
This Is what thoy call 'blackmail.' I
tried the case and rested for tho plaintiff
and am told that practically all tho
Jurors were favorable to damages for the
full amount. Judge Estelle took the case
