WHY SHE TOOK THE MONEY.

Riddle for the money for the purpose OF paying
acting as agent for her; did not know that he
said that she could have no money until she
signed the receipts; there was nothing said
that they would cover the claim for breach OF
promise. Took the money because she was
sick then She became suspicious and declined 70
take the money. Did not carefully examine the
receipts before signing. for she did not think
they amounted to much
In the interview when she signed the receipt,
the subject matter Of this suit (the breach OF
prom1se) was not discussed, and the receipt was
not given with reference to it.
