tragedy developed the follics Of wonder.
fully romantic life, writes Us that the book
will soon appear, and tina: she will spend q
few DAYS in Wichita, where she was treated
so kindly, canvassing Tor the same. It will
be graphically illustrated, and not only
those who heard the trial, but many who
read the EAGLES account of il, viii want q
copy of the book. The Topeka Citizen
makes the following note of the book:
The prospectus to the gold-titled and only
truthful statement of the Nellie Bailey
Clement Bothamley affair, written by Mss
Mary Z. Jackson, author Of "The Spy OF
Osaws.omie," will probably appear in
about ten days. This book viii contain
upwards of 400 pages, and will give the life

a member Of the royal family of Churchills

Nellie Bailey has passed through many
strange and romantic experiences, and the
