And then comes the famous letter
which tells of the secret marriage in Mis-
souri,. This is dramatically headed by
the writer.
"HERE's MY STORY"
| I'm married. Two years ago, while
from home, 4 discarded sutton took
me to the opera one night and told me on
the way he would disgrace me there and
then if l refused to marry him. As you
know, l did notiexactly know what dis
grace was, l mean how, something terri
BILE new, SO l consented to marry him and
did. He was unable or did not care to
incur the expense of q wife, SO he imme-
diately after the ceremony drove to the
opera and from there took me to my
friends house, where l was visiting. All
was kept secret and 1 returned home.
After a time he became anxious to marry
a Jewess, who loved him and had money.
He loved me if such Il brute can love, but
he wanted her money. He went out west
somewhere and got q divorce from me,
but before his refurn the Jewess learned
of his Implicitly from my own lips and she
refused him. a.
He was divorced from me, and the
Jewess' money was lost to him. He
would have killed HE had it not been for
his brother. He let me live to be wrong
ed. He it was who was here last sum-
mer, and 1 paid him to leave You uu-
molested. ! knew I was divorced from
him but could not prove it if I should be
hung the next moment. He has all the
evidence in his hands, and if 1 attempted
to marry anyone he would assert himself
as my husband.
l have used every endeayOr to obtain
the evidence I want, and I nave it if l can
week l could of purchased it for $3.50.
You remember what l told you here l
have intended to put these papers in your
hands as o o as they were in my pos
session, and tell you everything, for l
knew you knew l was innocent of any
wrong doing, and | thank God you do
know it. l love You and for you to think
was guilty of any wrong would kill me.

LIFE
is in New Mexico in the last stages OF
consumption. But whether / marry you
or not he will make public my marriage
with hing. unlessI purchase evidence OF
the divorce. He is in utter poverty and
dying and, as a last means of revenge, he
will publish this matter unless I send him
this amount by the man he has sent to
ME, (Scott). Do not hate me, George;
pity me if you can no longer love NE and
for the sake of our past love send me the
amount and l will willingly devote my
life to any work that I nay repay you.
1 must get this from some one and who
can I confide this miserable story to bu,
you? oh, 1 pray YOU keep it-return
this letter to me. One word of kindness
if you can / am too fearful of the re-
i suit of my story to ask for more. Nc
human knows of this save the man, his
brother, the Jewess and myself. 'fB."
After receiving this letter, Mr.. Eaton
made an appointment with the. young
ladyfto take a ride, and during the two
hours spent in driving, Miss Murph,

and said that M Scott was 10 the city a.
Tulps agent, and that the evidence of di.

Mr.. EATON BREAKS OFF
the engagement with Miss Murphy in tn,
