WASHINGTON, January 4.-The local pa
pers of this city publish to-day, under a
New York telegraphic heading, series of
letters purporting to have been written

against the charges made by Mr.. Chistian-
ey's counsel in regard to their alleged i'm
proper intimacy.
Accompanying these letters are also several
written to Mr.. Jackson, who she implores

to have the latter "Come forward and save
the woman he had compromised from the
consequences of what she terms "A thought
less but great imprudence.'

view with Mrs. Christiancy, In which she
admits the authenticity of these letters, but
ex xplains them ss follows: Giro was in love
with her and had repeatedly aeksd her per-
sonally and by letter to get divorce from
her husband and marry him (Giro). She
had steadfastly refused, whereupon Giro at
last became violent, and threatened that If
she did not promise to marry him he would
ruin her character by saying that she (Mrs.
Christiancy) was the woman who had once
visited his room at the st. James Hotel
in this city. To pacify him she
finally said she would marry him, but after
he returned to New York she wrote to him
recalling her promise. he continued, how
ever, to urge its tulfillment with threats,
when Mr.. Christiancy began di-
vorce proceedings against her on the
ground of alleged improper intimacy
with Giro. Mrs. Christiancy, under the ad-
vice of friends, wrote Giro the series of let
ters now published, her object being to pre-
vent him, by pretending to be In love with
him, from carrying out his threats, and TO
induce him to give truthful testimony foI
her protection
