HICKS AND FOX EXPLAIN.
es.
Statements have been made to
Attorney -General Raney by both
Mr. Andrew Hicks, the U.F.O. Whip
in regard to his bribery charge and
by Mr. M. C. Fox of South Essex,
in regard to his alleged charge.
Their letters to Attorney -General
Raney follow:
"I have read the letter writen to
you by Mr. M. C. Fox, lel.P.P., dated
the 22nd inst., which you showed me
to -day."
"The statement that I made at
London with reference to moneys
being available to members of the
Legislature to corruptly influence
their votes on matters before the
House at,the late session,, was based
entirely upon a remark made to me
by Mr. Fox. Apart from that state-
ment I have no information what-
ever as to any approaches having
been made to any member of the
Legislature to corruptly influence his
action in respect to any legislation
before the House. No money was
ever offered me, and so far as I
know, no money was offered to any
other member of the House, and no
improper proposal ever made in that
connection either directly or indir-
ectly.
1, of c'ourse, accept Mr. Fox's
statement without reservation. Ap-
•parently the whole matter was based
on a misunderstanding en my part
of his remark." a
Your very truly,
(Signed) Andrew Hicks.
Mr. Fox's statement was as fol-
lows:

the band, deserve great credit. The
concert was enjoyed by a. large gath-
ering of music lovers, the evening
being fine and all that could be de-
sh ed. to make the evening entertain-
ment a pleasant one. But I 'wish to
express 111.3r regret for the conduat of
some of the small boys near the
band stand. It not only annoys the .
people who tome to listen to the
music, but very much annoys the
band in bringing out the proper ex-
pression, which is practically all
there is in music. I therefore would
ask the parents of children who
come to enjoy the evening to strict-
ly warn their children to give the
band the best order while rendering
the different numbers, thenat the
interval you may engage in a little
conversation. I am informed that
the hand Will discontinue these eon-
certs if this rule is not observed.
Hoping this will have the desired
effect.
