Mr. Wright Says There’s Nothing To It.

C. P. Wright, the real estate dealer, was arrested Friday on an affidavit and information filed by Mrs. Anna Wylie, now of Illinois, who charges the embezzlement of $1,320 belonging to her. Mr. Wright gave bond for SSOO to appear in court when wanted and the case goes over to next term. Th e facts of the case as reported by Mr. Wright would indicate that there is very little, if anything, on which to base the charge. Mrs. Wylie’s husband, Lee H. Wylie, was a tenant on the farm owned by Mr. Isselstein at Hamilton N.D., which J. K. Davis traded his farm in Barkley ip., Jasper county for. Wylie later Sold the Davis farm to W. H. Coey of Indianapolis and bought 320 acres of land of Coey in Louisiana. Mr. Wright made the two last deals above named, and also sold the Davis farm, for Coey, to John Btger, and received $1,535 as Wylie's interest. Of this, on order,of Wylie, in whose name the Davis farm was, he paid Mrs. Wylie SIOO on two different occasions and Wylie himself $lO. The balance was paid to Coey on Wylie’s written order, And he has Coey’s receipt as well as the orders from Wylie. Wylie owes him a note of S3OO due Dec. 2, and there is also an unpaid judgment in the "circuit court here against him and he owes J. K. Davis some S6OO or S7OO and J. V. Carter of Indianapolis SIOO. Mr. Wright says this actioni against him is for the purpose of beating her hueband’s creditors, he thinks. If the above statements are correct as to the payment of the moneys he received it would seem that the charges ar e wholly unfounded.
