ATTORNEY OKELL'S STATEMENT
Gives His Version of the Facts in
the McAndrew Case.
The following statement Is made by
Attorney George M. Okell, concerning
the McAndrew case reported In The
Tribune of Saturday:
Last August, while attorney for the
Dunmore school board, I had occasion to
call on the McAndrews a number of times
In reference to a bad deed which they
had given to Bjron Brad. On one of
my visits they Informed me that P. D.
Manley, of Dunmore, and the Dime Sav
ings bank were endeavoring, ! unscrup
ulous methods, to steal their properly
from them, such as ararnglng with thu
insurance agent to cancel the- policy to
give them an opportunity to. foreclose,
etc , and that they desired to transfer tho
loan to strangers, and asked mo If t
could negotiate a loan fur S.J.500, and
that tho Interest was all paid up
I Immediately mado application to tho
Scranton Savings bank for 2M0. and
also to Attorney Capwell, who Informed
me he could set tho loan, but that It
would probably take seeral weeks Some
time later I met Capwell nnd ho Informed
me that he could rot make tho loan for
the reason that he found the- property
had just been advcrllhed for sheriff's
sale. This was tho first knowlcdgo I
had of tho property being In the hands of
the sheriff.
I Immediately called upon the McAn
drews and Informed them I tould not
make tho loan, and to apply elsewhere.
They Informed mo that they hail and
could not set the loan, and that It was
no use to bother trlns tiny further, and
that they would dn nn thing so that
Manley and the test could not get tho
property. They offered to trunsfei It to
mo provided I would stay the sale and
buy off tho mortgage.
1 informed them I had not tho money
at the tlmo and could not do bo, and at
their request Informed them I would try
to seo what I could do for them, and sug
gested that I might probably Interest
my father, to which they gladly assented.
I Immediately telephoned to my father
In New York, and ho Informed mo that
If tho property was worth tho money hu
would buy It. and Immediately sent on a
check. I went up to their house and had
them execute a deed. Immediately af
ter they had deeded tho property to mv
father I told them that father would
agree to give them a j ear's rent free,
with a lease and a receipt for ono jears
rent, which I gavo them. ,
I told them that If. during tho jear,
the? could get a purchaser for the prop
erty, I could arrange with my father to
sell It bflck to them for a fair price, or
to buy one that they directed; also that
If they could sell an) lots to do so, and I
would arrango with my father to glvo
them a liberal division of the purchase
money, and Immediately sent them a
sign, In pursuance to this agreement,
which I understand thev hid.
I Immediately went over to tho sheriff
to pay off the mortgage, but the sheriff
requested poundage, which 1 declined to
pay, and Instead I decided to take an
assignment of tho judgment from Mr.
Comegjs. who held nn assignment of tho
bank's Judgment. Mr. Comegjs was sick,
but a few dajs later, upon payment of
the debt. Interest and cost which had nc
cumulated, amounting to about $2,S0i), ho
made the assignment to me.
Being In Montreal on business at the
time. Attorney Hlco looked after tho mat
ter, and the mortgage nnd judgment were
both satisfied with the bank some dah
before tho suit was brought. I have of
fered theso parties, and persons whom
they havo sent to mo about this matter,
to re-convey the property nt any time
according to our understanding, and to
carry out my promise, which they nave
been Inclined to Ignore, nnd they Inti
mated that unless I camo to their terms
they would give me notoriety and black
mail me, which they are endeavoring to
do.
The facts alleged by the McAnlrews In
their bill of equity aro false, concerning
alleged rcniescntitlons that I mado
them, or that I refused to arrange to
have tho property re convejed. I wah
never their attorney In nuv thing except
In negotiating the lean, but O'Brien &
Kelly wero their attorney p.
I suggest the public do not pass opin
ion until the matter has been determined
by duo courso of litigation.
