The Association for the Relief of Colored Women. MRS, CRANDALL’S ANSWER TO TRE BILL FILED IN COURT AGAINST HER. In the case of the National Association for the Relief of Colored Women, &c., against Mrs G. A. Crandall and others, answers have been filed in connection with a motion to dissolve the restraining orders. Mrs. Crandall, by her counsel, Mr. W. A. Cook. moves thatthe re- Stratning orders be dissolved, and files several affidavits in support of the motion. In her afi- davit she sets forth that she has devoted a large amount of her time, attention and labor to the Institution; that she was elected treasurer in 1S65, and up to the second Tuesday of Janu- ary last she continued as such, during which time she was unanimously elected at the an- nual meetings; that she made her reports regu- jariy, which were examined and audited, and the accuracy of the reports had not been ques- tioned, and in this time she has disbursed about 364,000; that her last report up to January, 187s, Showed a balance of $5,026.14; that in April last there was a committee ap- pointed to examine her accounts, books and papers, and bey that the examina- tion would be confined to the current year, and conscious of the rectitude of her conduct and the correctness of her accounts, she furnished them and they proceeded to examine them, she (on the statement of one of them that she “had better not be present”) not being present and without full information or explanation from her, they reported a balance in her hands of $6,400, and this was done unfairly and trregu- larly. by extending the investigation over sev- eral years and over settled and audited ac- counts, and the committee have since refused to return her the books and Jonge She fur- ther states her belief that the sum due Is but $4,500, and asserts that she is entirely solvent, and that her husvand, towhom she loaned 33,760.42, 1s entirely solvent and worth many llmes more than the amount loaned; that under arule of the association she was given the to put out the money at interest. She ‘urther states that as treasurer she gave bond In $20,000, and charges that there ex! in the association @ combination to deprive her of po- sition and membership in the association, and they have met from time to time without no- Uce, and on June 15th assumed to si nd her 2s treasurer, and on June 21st assui wexpel her—two days after the Dill was filed. It may ‘ve added that the high reputation Mrs. Cran- dall has always sustained in the community and the fact that the persons in the associa- tion making this fight against her are of the status of ex-Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, leads many to believe that their object in getting Mrs. Crandall out of the position of Treasurer Was to get somebody else in for purposes of theirown. The court to-day ordered that the restraining order be discharged on filing bond. ee AT THE SCHUETZEN Fest, yesterday afternoon Was spent in bowling and shooting.
