O. Strickler has addressed the following letter to Judge Fawcett of the district court with reference to the criticism passed upon him from the bench last Monday OMAHA, Dec. 6.—Hon. Jacob Fawcett, Judge: Dear Sir—On last Monday you took occaslon to criticise me in connection with | the petition of intervention in the Ger- | man Savings bank case. I told you at the time I knew nothing whatever about the matter, as I was absent from Omaha when it was prepared and filed. 1 have since investigated it, and I now present you the most positive,and conclusive proof that the statements you made were unwarranted and evidently made upon misinformation. You sald that Mr. in the district clerk's office, had told you that when I took the petition out of the office it bore the date of July 8 and that when 1 returned it to him this date had been changed to the 9th. Mr. Wright swears that he never made any such state- ment. ¢ Nebraska, County of Douglas, s.: Wright, of lawful age, being fir Quly sworn, says that he is the file clerk in the o of the ¢ of the district court of Douglas cc braska; that a petition of intervention’ was filed 'In sald Office on July 9, 101, by certain creditors in the case entifled State against German Savings Bank; the petition was written on pewriter ' and it was evidently pr with the expectation that it would yrn to on July 8, as that ls the date written in; that date was changed by writ- ing the figure 9 with a pen above the figure 8. the figure 8 was not obliterated or erased; the figure 9 is almost wholly co ered up by the signature of George Seligh Ron, Who signed and swore to the petition |1t requires close scrutiny to make out the 1 never stated to any person that the dato had been changed after the petition was filed; the change may have been made before the petition was filed and sworn to for_anything I know to the contrs | (Signed) H. B. WRIGHT. Bubscribed In my presence and sworn to before me this 4th day of December, 1001, (Slgned) WILLIAM F. WEBER, Notary Publie. You further stated that I had also changed the body of the petition by erasing there- from certain words. The official record of your own court contradicts you in this. The complete record of this petition was made immediately after it was filed and it { shows that the change was made prior to that time. State of Nel | | aska, County of Douglas, ss.: | Miss Mar, y Fitzpatrick, of lawful age, | being first duly sworn, says that she is em- | ployea in the ufice of the clerk of the dis- | trict court of Douglas county, Nebraska | that between July 15 and July'20, 1901, she copled Into the compls rd in the case entitled State German Savings Bank a pet ention flled in rald case July rtain. creditors; that In making sald copy she wrote the date on which the petition was sworn to July § that within the last two of three days her attentfon has been called to sald petition and she has carefully examined the date and by ¢! e serutiny can see what u{:pt'-nfl to be a part of a figure 9 written above the 8 with a pen; most of the figure 9 I obliterated by the signature of Georg, Bellghson, who signed and swore to the | petition; the § is not obliterated: if 1 ere copying’ the petition now and my attention was not specifically called to the matter I Wright, the file clerk | | wara, Should Brobably cppy.ihia date es July 8 as far as | know the petition I8 in the same Situation at the present time that 1¢ was when I made the cop: igned) MARGISRY FITZPATRICK.

You further stated that I was the only person who was likely to have made these changes. The following aMdavits show just who did make the changes, and the cir- cumstances under which they were in fact made: State of Nebraska, Ci E. M. Garnett, of first duly sworn, says left Omaha Jul until about Septemb afflant and N, C, F German Bavings bank his absence; that on 8, 1001, this afllant nd the ald Pratt learned from the Dally Reporter for the first time that the receiver had filed a report; they went to Judge Fawcett's courtrogm that morn- ing; he was not there; that the affiant learned from Judge Fawcett's balliff that the recelver had submitted a proposition to compromise with certain stockholders and that there had been a hearing before Judge aweett, and the afflant sul quently learned that day that Judge F' cett had entered some sort of an order directing & compromise for ab $100,000; that the afflant was unable to find this order in the clerk’s office; that he then 'n's‘lfll'\l a petition of Intervention on be- half of Mr. Strickler's clients, which was in the nature of a protest against the compromise; that_after the petition was prepared he and Mr. Pratt went over the same and the afant then took it to George Selighson's place of business for his slgnature; that Bellghson was absent, as the aMant 'was informed, and the afant left_word for him to come down to afi- ant's office the next day; that on the next day, July 9, Mr. Selighson came to affiant's” office_and before he signed the petition the aMant changed the date from the Sth to the 9th, to correspond with the fact, and Selighson then signed and swore 1o the wame, and the aflant took the petition over and filed it immediately after it was signed: the change was not made after the petition was filed; a few words were changed in the body' of the petitio after It was written, ut they also were changed by this afiant with his pen before the petition was signed; the aMant and Mr. Pratt were unable to ob- tain t rder of Judge awcett directing the compromise for several days after- for the reason that it had been withdrawn from th clerk's office by some person; they filed a motion to vacate this order as soon as they saw It and learned its provisions; the sald changes in satd petition were' not made by Mr. Strickler, nor by his direction, nor with his knowledge, for the reason’ that they were made this afflant at the time and in the manner above stated.

Subscribed In my presence and sworn to before me this 4th day of December, 1001, (Signed) 0. C. WILSON, Notary Public. There has never been any dispute but that both Mr. Pratt and Mr. Garnett learned from hearsay on July § that you had made some sort of an order directing a com- promise with stockholders of the German Savings bank for about §100,000. They did not learn of it until after you had ordered the compromise and were unable to see your order for several days after it was filed. , There can therefore be no possible reason for you to say that it is material whether the petition was sworn to on the $th or 0th, The foregoing afdavits and records of your court show these facts to'be beyond controversion, and they speak for them- selves, Very respectfully, V. 0.
