Counter charges against George J Herold, city attorney of Bellevue, may be entered with an official by members of the Soldiers and Sailors Aid which erected the Bellevue Honor Roll that paintings on the completed work were made to reproduce features of two sons of members of the committee.
Mrs. John L Winters, wife of Mayor Winters, who was on the committee, denied Monday the drawing of a sailor which Jacob Junk, Dayton artist, had made on the honor roll, was supposed to be a picture of her son. "Mr. Junk had a picture of my son," said Mrs. Winters. "H asked for it so that he might be albe to copy the cut of the suit which the sailors wear. As far as reproducing features is concerned, I am sure there was no intention to take any such action and if he had intended to do that he could not have made a poorer job of it.
"If he had been hunting for a model of a stanch young American he could not have done better than to copy the picture of my son, but I am sure he had no such intentions. The charges, I believe, are unfounded absolutely."
Mrs. J A Smith, Ward st. and Fairfield av. Bellevue, another member of the committee also denied Monday the artist had reproduced the features of her son from a photograph. "Mr. Junk did not even have a photograph of my son at the time of the drawing," said Mrs. Smith. "He is now holding excellent pictures of my son and of Mayor Winters son as evidence to fact the charges which have been made through Mr. Herold. As Mr. Junk says there were in his shop probably 5000 pictues and to ay he singled out pictures of my son and Mayor Winters son is ridiculous."
