Ellen Lomas. The signature appeared to be
that of Ellen Lomas but neither the spelling
nor the diction was hen. I so pointed out
to my wife at the moment I said to my
wife, "The best way to settle this is to
bring the girl here. " My wife went out of
the bedroom and shortly brought the girl in,
and when she came in closed the bedroom
door, and it remained closed during the
whole interview. I was sitting down and
my wife and the girl were standing op. 1

1 Statement oads by Robert (.aro rm-
. peeling the reports against M. C.
!Cameron :--
I 1 That the interview between W. W.
Fox, reporter Gtr the Toronto World, and
myeelt as reported in the World of the 29th
July A. D. 1892, is absolutely false in every
particular.
2 The report u co:orad, distorted and
mialeding floe report was sot real over
to me and I never would have signed or
sworn to any such statements as are therciu
contained had I knows the nature and effect
Ithreof.
3 I now withdraw every allegation
therein. I regret that it was published
and hereby apologize to Mr. Cameron for
its publication.
4 i never would have maid or written a
word against Mr, Cameron fed I not been
urged to do so by the Conservatives of
Goderich and promised backing up by them,
In fact I never had any reason to do so.
6 I admit that I wrote an anonymous
letter to the Detective Bureau of Toronto
and to the Hon. John Haggart, both of
which letters are I am informed in the pos-
session of said Bureau and are similar in
terms.
6 That money was to be raised for me
in Go.tench by the Tories of Goderich to
keep me then to worry Mr. Cameron. M.
Hutchison was to give ms 6100, so Robert
Thompson Gold me, Ox.Rnw Thompson, Old
Cunningham sail Archie Elliott were to
contribute, and John Beacom of Goderich
Township, who told me to go ahead against
Cameros, said I would get .11 the money I
wanted.
7 That 1 bad criminal connection with
Lure Gordon more thou a dozen tuns
while she lived at Mr. Cameron's.
8 That Lamm Corder told me that she
suggested to Ellen Lomas the writing of •
letter to the Home at Stretford complaining
that Mr. Cameron had abased her and dic-
tated every word of the letter.
9 That I never saw anything wrong r
improper in the conduct of Mr. Cameron
while I lived with bins. He always acted
the part of a man and a gei4leman ,o far as
I could see.
10 Now that I have left Canada I make
this statement without reward or the hope
or promise of reward solely in the interest
of truth and justice as there never was one
word of truth in the stories circulated
about him so far as my knowledge extends

To the editor of the Toronto World.
Sts, -1n your issue of the 29th ult. you
publish wbat you are pleased to call a re-
port of so interview that took place bet-
ween your reporter and myself respecting
the scandals affecting M. C. Cameron.
i now bag to my to you and the public
that the material statements contained in
that report are false.
3. The so-called report is colored, the
(acts distorted and misleading.
3. That the said report was not read over
to me as published in your paper. Had it
been I never would have signed so grosoy
false and scandalous • ,tatement,and I • e-
tainly never would have declared to '.ie
truth of • report nearly every word of a'uoh
is false, had I understood the nature and ef-
fect of it
4. I now withdraw every allegation con-
tained in your published report, and beg to
apologize to M. C. Cameron for the publi-
cation through the over -zeal of your repor-
ter and yourself in giving cir elation to
false charge, in order to damage • political
enemy.
& I was erred t.y M. C. Cameron's politi-
cal opponents in Goderich to abase him all
I could, and was assured by them of finan-
cial backing in doing this for political Dee-
pens.
arpus. I have handed Mr. Cameron • good
many of the males of these men.
6. I my now, and I am willing to swear
to it, that i never saw anything in M. C.
Cameron's oomduct during all the years I
lived with him inonn.istent with that of •
gentleman ; certainly no such improprieties
as are detailed in your paper, unfit for pub-
lication in any newspaper of the least res-
pectability.
I am now living in the United State,. I

and with stern gone, about fourteen mils
below Hayfield, apparently caught on a
boulder about • quarter of a mile from

ing J.J,eMeLain, of Detroit, and CaptainMillyr, rho sailed the boat being another

mand of the William Heary Johnston, but
owing to a strong personal frieud.hip for
('apt Miller had resigned on the Johnston,
and taken second position on the Nashua.
Capt. Millen and Capt. Sheppard were each
accompanied by his wife, as there was also
a strong friendship existing between the
two women.
When it became known to Capt. Millen
that the Nashui s trip would be up to the
Georgian )fey, the waters of which were
unfamiliar to him he telephoned to another
old friend of his, a retired lake rptaw,
and later • shipbuilder in Port Huron, and
who knew the intricacies ot (;eorgian Bay,
to take • trip up with him and act as pilot
Captain Muir acceded to the invitation
and took the trip on the ill-fated boat.
