Pifer, whose office safe and contents were attached by circuit court authorities in a case against him, in which it is charged he failed to pay for a motor car purchased from W. B. Dunham, bankrupt, yesterday issued the following statement to The Globe: "While I dislike to have my lawsuit tried in the press, in view of articles in Sunday's newspapers, telling about an attachment against me which, if unexplained, is injurious to me and my business, and feeling that your paper is not actuated by any desire, to unnecessarily injure me, I wish to say that this lawsuit arose out. of the purchase of an Oldsmobile. six-cylinder coupe, from Mr.

Dunham, who is now in bankruptcy. Says Car was Defective. "I claim, and have so testified, that the automobile was guaranteed to be all right. The note for which I have been sued was given as part of the purchase price of this machine and I have told everyone who has had the note that I was ready to settle at any time when proper allowance was made for the defective condition of the car. "That the car is defective was testified to by a large number of reputable witnesses who live in this city and who have ridden in the car, and also by a mechanic who has over hauled it in an effort to correct the defects, but ha-s found it impossible to make it right.

"I have paid these repair bills and have been to much expense and Inconvenience by reason of the fact that this car is defective. I took out one of the plaintiff's witnesses, who is an expert mechanic, so that he could see for himself how the car performed, and he-stated that the company had made several hun dred of those cars which had prov en unsatisfactory, and that they had discontinued that model. He Has Receipt. "Two witnesses, who testified positively against me in the case, have since been confronted with a receipt which absolutely contradicts them, and they have had to recall their statements. "I have lived in Joplin for twenty- eight years and have always paid my debts promptly and do not owe any man.

I have tried my best to get an adjustment of this controversy to avoid litigation. "However, the representatives of the bankrupt seem disposed to harass me unnecessarily, apparently in the belief that by so doing I will be forced to settle on their terms, or give a bond to dissolve the thereby waiving whatever damages I would otherwise be entitled to recover if successful in defeating the attachment, upon which there has been no hearing at all, and which cannot be tried until the September term. If the. court should find that 1 owe anything on this car, I expect to pay it as I have always paid my other bills, and if I have done anything in regard to this whole transaction- which would not have been done naturally by any other man who believes, as I do, that I have not had a square deal, I do not know what it is. Asks Fair Treatment.

"I have never at any time asked for more than a fair treatment and have indicated several times that I would be satisfied with less rather than have vexatious litigation, but as this case has been put into court and my efforts to settle have been unavailing and there seems to be a disposition to unnecessarily harass me and to put me to all the inconvenience and embarrassment possible, I am not disposed to surrender but will let the matter take its course unless some fair proposition of settlement is made. The spectacular attachment of my office safe was characteristic of the tactics employed in this case, and has resulted in some inconvenience to my patients by reason of some articles belonging to them being in the safe, but I will be able to get NAVY RECRUITING IS TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED Orders restricting navy recruit Ing were received here yesterday at the recruiting station.

That all happened last Tuesday. Several dayi later, HlgrRlnbotham telephoned tho attorney general that tho case had ended. When pressed for details, he said ho had made a friendly call at the bank to advise them he was obtaining a search warrant so as not to embarrass the Institution offiolals with too great a show of force. On arrival there, ho was told that the bank officials, the nlRht before, had destroyed the liquor, fearing to keep ft in their possesion.

Tha prowjoutlnft attorney was led to the rear of the bank and allowed to smell a pile ot olndors that he said, undoubtedly been drenched with whisky. The case resting there, pending an investigation by the proeectitlnff attorney. He reported to Barrett that ho Is trying to find out first If there was a "leak In the hows," or a "leak in the hooJse' 'and that when that Is cleared up he will probably have the clmlprs analyzed. Furthor developments will await the outcome of the present investigations. Meantime, the men who were charged with transporting liquor unlawfully are to ine released because there Is no evidence on which to convict them.
