had been surrounded with cemetery. Mrs.
Conway felt nervous about the place from the
first day It was proposed She was superstitious,
and feared the dcsecration Of hallOwed ground
From the first the place failed t. pay. She lived
on the floor above the main entrance, and often
her superstitious dread of the place WAS so great
that she would - and pass the night at some
hotel. What added TO her terror and dislike
was the fact that she began sinking money from
the first and little by little her small fortune
went away from her. Then her husband died

tion to leave the fatal place Two year. later
Mrs. CONWAY herself was stricken with sickness
When first placed on her bed she said she would
