a PROSECUTED BANGOR WOMAN
Annie A Adams OF Lynn makes some grave
charges against the wife of Davis T. Adams of the
same city, alleging that the latter woman has
slandered her. Miss Annie Adams went to Lynn
from Bangor four years ago, in which city she
taught school for some time, and she has also re-
sided IN Boston. She alleges that Mrs. Adams,
who is distant relative, has followed her up
closely during the four years referred to- and by
false representations and charges against her char
acter and morals, has succeeded in having her pre-
vented from securing situations in various places
On one occasion she went to store keeper who
was to employ Miss Adams, told him that she
insane and berated her character IN fearful man
ner. Miss Adams preferred charges against Mrs.
Adams, but the court proceedings were stopped
through tie husband of the latter, who acknowl-
edged satisfaction" in published card, in which
he says THAT all statements of his wife made
against the character and morals of Annie A Ad-
ans are false: that she is honest and not insane"
The woman who made the statements will not re.
tract them, and is understood to still persevere in
her work to injure Miss Adams who is a lady 81
or 10 years of age and said to be respectfully con
nected. She has great fear OF what Mrs. Adams
Will do, and it is more than probable that, civil
suit having failed she will resort to criminal law.
Miss Adams says she wishes to do something that
will stop the sanderous tongue OF her accuser and
is acting under the advice of counsel
