Mr. C. II. hont, of No. 23 North

uucetl in Richmond:
"l had betdl suffering With Indlges

said 1 was threatened With appendi?

wonderful. 1 have only taken two

EMPHATIC DENIAL
OF CHAR6ES MADE
Washington. May 16.?A flat denial
of the statements of W. P. Roland, on
which were based the charges against
Judge Robert \V. Archbald, of the
Commerce Court, was entered before
the House Judiciary Committee to-day
by Q. V. Brownell, vice-president an.
general counsel for the Brio Railroad.
Brownell declared emphatically that
the statements made by Roland to
Attorney-Genoral Wlckcrsham regard?
ing Urovvnell's connection with the
proposed 'sale of the Katydid culm
dump to Judge Archbald and Edward
.1. Williams were "unqualifiedly false."
"1 want this committee to ask Mr.
Roland specifically about every state?
ment W. I'. Boland made In the AttOr- j
ney-Oeneral'a office regarding my con?
nection with this transaction." said
Mr. Brownell; "I pronounce them un
qualifledly false, if Boland will make
the statements under oath that he
gave- to the Attorney-Qeneral, I want
to say that he will be liable for per?
jury."
Mr. Brownell declared that the
charge made by Boland that Brownell
had urged the sale of the culm bank'
to Judge Arcnbald after the latter had
called on the railroad official was
"grotesquely and absurdly false."
C. CS. Boland. brother of W. P. Bo?
land, will lie called when the commit?
tee meets to-morrow, and an effort
will be made lo reach W. P. Boland
