OLMSTED MAKES STATEMENT
Attorney for Mrs. Paul Against
Brandcis Sure He Did No Wrong.
SAYS IT IS COURT RECORD
Declares Ills Shnre of Huah Money
"Vn Obtained 1y nn Order of
Conntj- Conrt trlth Snnctlou
of IlrnndeU' Attorneys,
Attorney It. II. Olmstca, indicted for
helping Mrs. Nellie Paul pull down PJ.000
from Arthur Brandcis, has niado a state
ment of his connection with the case,
which Is printed In tho Florence Tribune,
Mr. Olmsted living In Florence. Mr. Olm
sted Insists that all his dealings with Mr.
Brandcis were entirely professional, open
and above board, and that there was
nothing wrong In the woy he secured his
share of the hush money.
Following is tho signed explanation of
Mr. Olmsted:
"Tho action of the grand jury In re
turning an Indictment charging me with
extortion and blackmail In the case of
Nellie Paul, ns guardian of her boy,
egalnst Arthur D. Brandtls Is ot such
serious character and so misleading In
fact that I feel It my duty to the readers
of the Tribune to make this brief state
ment that they may know tho facts.
"At the earnest solicitations of Mrs.
Paul and after she had first discharged
and paid her attorneys who then had
charge of this guardianship case, I en
tered Into a. written contract with her as
guardian to talto charge of the case and
prosecute It.
"This contract was submitted to the
probate court of this county and a writ
ten order was made and signed by the
court approving the contract to sue Bran-
dels. I then prepared my petition as
usual In damage cases and was prepared
to try the cause of action In court.
"I did not see, telephone ' to or hear
from Arthur D. Brandels at any time af
ter I was employed in the case and for
several months after the claim had been
settled, My transactions wcro with his
attorneys, Johit I. Kennedy and John C.
Wharton, and the county court, none ot
whom were called before the grand Jury
to offer evidence against me and all of
whom, had they been called, would have
told the truth as to all my transactions
In this matter with them, and my pro
fessional conduct In the matter, they say,
was above criticism.
"It should be understood that I was an
officer of the court In this .matter as was
nlao tho guardian and everything that
was done In tho matter was dono by or
der of the court and the $30,000 settlement
that was finally mode was approved and
settlement ordered made by the court be
fore tho money was paid.
"I have absolutely nothing to conceal
In this whole matter and am not ashamed
of my conduct at any time In the trans
action! neither am I Intimidated by the
power that mado this Indictment possible,
"For a complete record of the case, as
far as I was concerned, see the record In
the county court at Omaha In the matter
of the guardianship of Clarence Hlsley,
minor.
