All this was during the | latter part of last year. “In the latter part of January of this | year I was again teaching as a substi- tute in that schcol, and Kilpatrick again opened up the subject of my ob- taining a permanent position and again suggested that I had better follow his advice ard join with him in concocting | and executing the aforesaid scheme to entrap and coerce Dr. Ragan. Again I| refused. | “I further depose and say that in all conversations I had with any of ‘the School Directors of this city and county in my efforts to secure an appointment in the School Department no one of them, and no one on their behalf, nor on behalf of any one of them, ever in any manner, even in the remotest de- gree, proposed or intimated to me that I could get a position in the School De- partment if I would pay for {t. Dr. Ragan stated last night that the first intimation he had of any charges being made against him in his official capacity came to him a week ago. “Kilpatrick,” sald he, “is evidently actuated by malice on account of the stand taken by me at the time he was on trial before the Board of Education. Some months ago charges were pre- ferred against Kilpatrick and referred to the committee of which I am chair- man. I then suggested that the matter | should be heard by the whole board instead of v the committee. That | course was pursued and the charges against him were dismissed. Since that time Kilpatrick has had an idea that I was attempting to work him out of the department and that at the first favorable opportunity I would secure his dismissal. His suspicions were en- tirely unfounded. “After considerable talk over the matter I learned that Stanton was the man said to have paid me the money for his place in the Business Evening School. I told Director Barrington that I would find Stanton and bring him be- fore Barrington to have him state whether there was any truth in the story. Barrington said that he was satisfied from conversations had with Kilpatrick that there was absolutely no foundation for the charge. We then parted. “‘On Sunday afternoon I met Stanton and asked him if he had told Kilpatrick that he had paid for his position in the department. He said that he had not, and volunteered to go with me to Bar- rington. We found Barrington in his pharmacy, on Market and Van Ness avenue. I told Barrington that I wished him to listen to what Stanton had to say concerning the matter. While we were talking, Director Carew came in. I do not believé, however, that Carew heard any of the statement. The story told by Stanton is fully contained in the affidavit sworn te by him before Notary Turner. Director Barrington, when seen last night, said that Kilpatrick told him some time ago that Stanton had admit- ted to him that he had paid for his po- sition in the department.. “I had sev- eral conversations with Kilpatrick,” said he, “and I am convinced that he is.unscrupulous and- untruthful. He repeated the story of Stanton’s alleged admission several times, and every time there was a change in it. In some instances the story was told differently on immaterial facts; at other times on’ facts that were very material. Director Carew said last night that he walked into the drug store Sunday evening when Directors Barrington and Ragan were talking with Stanton. He noticed that they were quite busy at the time and did not interrupt them. He said that he heard none of the con- versation and left shortly afterward. Princival Kilpatrick was seen at the Business Evening School last evening and stated that while he*had not forced the issue he was ready to go before the Grand Jury and testify as to the stat2- ments made by Instructor Stanton. He stated that he had avoided all noto- riety in the case, but had been com- pelled to defend himself against the unjust attacks of Dr. Ragan and other | members of the Board of Education. “This matter has been forced on me,” he said, “and if I am called upon by the Grand Jury I have no_alternative but to tell what I know. I am fortu- nate in having a witness to the inter- view between myself and Stanton, in which the latter stated that he had agreed to pay $300 for a permanent po- sition in this school. “That is all T can say at the present time, but there are many other mat- ters that the Grand Jury can investi- gate with good results.” B Tried to Shoot Himself. Herman J. Pies, a despondent distiller from Oregon, attempted suicide last even- ing. He went into a pawnshop at 707 Kearny street and asked to look at a re- volver. He ‘loaded the weapon and snapped the trigger, pointing the barrel at his heart. The hammer missed the cartridge and the man was ex elled from the store. Later he was arrested for va- grancy. ——— Coroner’s Inquests. The Coroner's jury vestérday returned a verdict of suicide while despondent in the case of Annie Nordfm, who poisoned herself with carbolic acid. Insanity was given as the cause for the suicide of Max Pauly, alias Robert James Bley, inventor of the model of an airship. STORY OF THE CHIEF WITNESS. I overheard the conversation between Teacher Stanton and Principal E. C. Kilpatrick. I did not sit in the office, but by accident I was within earshot and in the name of truth, decency and cleanliness, I am glad that I was.
