Hlrs. Fogg's Case.
Our Lititz correspondent says: !: The
developments to-day in Mrs. FOgg's case
do not alter the opinion that she is
grossly abused woman, and the victim of
her husband, who, as she asserted, placed
her in the asylum to get rid of her.
Mr.. VIM. Fogs. of Philadelphia, has
written to the proprietor Of the Lititz
Springs hotel a note of warning, saying
that he g will pay no debts contracted by
Mrs. Fogg, now that she has got away
from the hospital, ami advises Mr..
Spickler not to harbour her, as he
g will get no pay for it."
Mr. Fosg is evidently not a scribe: his
language is not grammatical, his spelling
is poor and his composition faulty. The
only sentiment his letter contains is that
Of protection for himself against any
claims upon his purse which mig Int result
from "harbouring" the poor creature.
He advises Mr.. Spickler to turn her out
where he does not say. He does not even
ask that she be returned to the hospital;
evidently he don't care where she goes,
only, SO it is understood, that lie will do
nothing for her.
AS Mrs. Fogg worked for wages while
at the hotel, she was, of course, indebted
to no one, and Mr.. Spickler was justly in
dignant at this notice from MIR. Fogg and
replied to him in terms which were by no
means complimentary to Fogg.
