ago, and then deserted the woman who h.G

below followed BY . correction. Hear what
this alleged reporter has to say:
Yesterday there was given to the re-
porter the particulars of an affair that mer.
its the attention and investigation Of the
authorities. Miss Carrie Schrobe is q do
mestic in the family of Herman Fehr, On
East Fourth street. She had sutton named
James Showers who pretended to be lover,
but Developments proved him TO be q
treacherous scoundrel. He gained the con.
fidence of Carrie and 50 enraptured was she
that she yielded to her designing lovers
plesdings. The result was about one month
ago, the deceived woman prematurely gave
birth to child. Showers, the father Of the
child, was appealed to and he removed it
from the house. The girl says the child
was still born, and in the statement is wit
messed by Mr.. and Mrs. Fehr. 1t was init
mated 70 the reporter that the child had
been buried in the yard of the premises,
but this the family denies. The case GER
tainly demands investigation, and Coroner
Overstreet might take the mstier in hand
to-day. Mr.. Fehr will consult the officials
to-day"
Believing there was some misrepresenta-
ton in the matter, BAzOo reporter yesier-
day evening visited Mr.. Herman Fehr, at
his wagon shop, on the south side of st.
Louis street, between. Lamine and Wash
ington avenue, and there found that gentle.
man engaged at his daily labor.
Upon learning that BAzoo reporter was
in his presence Mr.. F. freely expressed him.
self upon the question at issue, and spoke
in not very glowing terms OF the Demo-
Gratis representative.
"You have seen the Democrat of this
morning, then" remarked the BAzoo man.
Eyes sir, have seen the Democrat and
have been grossly misrepresen,ed by this
designing reporter"
That paper states, Mr.. Fehr, that you will
lay the matter in question before the officials
to-day, and that . cOroner's inquest might
prove beneficial under the circumstances.
Have you as yet, taken any action ?"
mo sir, and there is nothing to take ac-
ton about that know Of. Since l have
been unvillingly mixed up in this nnfort-
innate and ill.timed publication, choose
to speak out on the matter" Whereupon
the following story, sad indeed, was re-
lated to the BAzoo scribe.
FEHR's STATEMENT.
The lady in question. Mrs. Carry Schro-
der, whom the intelligent representative OF
the Democrat calls Miss Garry kchrober,"
came to my house three or four months
ago and was hired to assist my wife il the
house work. always found her q good :,
reliable girl and she soon became qniie
. favorite in the family. knew that she
was receiving the attentions of Mr.. James
Showers, but had no knowledge that she
was in an interesting condition until told
SO by my wife, who, also was ignorant of
the existing state OF circumstances up to
the time the miscarriage took place. Mrs.
Schroeder, so have since learned was only
nancy which accounts for NE not knowing
that something was wrong. The child was
born, however, and learning that the mis-
steps were taken under a promise of mar
riaRe, my heart softened and l did not turn
her out upon the world.
The child was taken charge of by the
father and buried in the Sedalia CEN.
etery.
The representative of the Democrat
came TO my house last hight
and represented himself as an
official, whereupon I told what knew
about the matter; otherwise / would never
have said word. 1t is a matter of COM
mon occurrence at this period of our en-
and as no violation of law
had taken place, thought it best for all
TO leave the matter in the dark.
and might say further that the pu bile
would never have been any wiser of the
poor girls misfortune, had it not been for
the interference Of q man and woman who
had been refused longer residence in my
house on account OF not paying their
board"
After thanking Mr.. Fehr for the infor.
nation furnished, the reporter suggested
his intention of visiting Mrs. Schroeder and
getting q statement from her, and
upon turning 20 leave the room

location of his residence.
