"We, what became Of her then?"
The ladies replied, "We do not know but Captain
Jourdan asserts that she was arrested and locked
up in the station-house all night"
The ladies continued :-'She stated that she had
intended TO play in the Tcelue Temptations until she
acquired enough money to start ON lecturiug

of proceeding would ruin her for ever. They then

that her mother, Lola, had been befriended by

She did not, however, desire to visit Washington

At this juncture Mrs. Brooker said to us, "Mind
you, 1 did not favor this movement. because | had
set the woman down as Nancy Sykes, as fraud,
and a confidence woman"
Tennie c. then remarked that 1t was not the first
time that people had been sold, and since men had
been sold by men, it was not wonderful that women
should be duped by a woman.
We acquiesced, saying that from the numerous
examples afforded us, we did not wonder at it.
