Paige had signed affi affidavits, - davits, affidavits, which were intended to be used by the Central Union telephone monopoly in behalf of its litigation with the city, these three officials were indignant. They took occasion to tell their friends that the Democrat article was untrue and that it was without foundation. The Democrat made an effort Monday to get a copy of the affldavit,but it had been removed from the files of the United States Circuit court by the attorneys for the Central Union Telephone company. "When a" Democrat reporter called at the office or Attorney S. G.

That is where it now is. I shall furnish copies of it to the City Solicitor. He can do with them as he pleases. I must refuse to show the affidavit to you."
