WORCESTER, Mass, December 3.-Mrs.
George N. Rice, of Bridge, called
with her husband at the Gazette office to-

Jonas Wilson. and sister of Levi Wilson,
and l Z years older than he is. Mrs. Rice
has refused to talk, or to be mixed up in
any way in the Moen matter, and fear
ing Misrepresentation, she now comes for
ward. Her story completely contradicts
the STORY Of Wilson. that he is the son of
Philip p. Moen. She was at home in North
Oxford when Levi was born and had watched
him grow up as an infant and through
childhood. He was the son Of her own
parents without any question. He was.
named after her uncle. Levi Fsssenden.
Her father died at Quaddick, Conuecticut,
and she was with him all through his i'll
ness. Levi was also living at home. There
never was any deathbed confession by
her father as stated by him. She knew Of
Lewis suddenly becoming rich. but he never
explained to her. She had received gifts
from him but only in q brotherly way. She
never received anything for keeping any
secret. She thought Levi must be out OF
his mind.

was watching my binding harvester at work
fell upon the table and was carried up with
the grain As the girl was about the size of

neat little string around her waist. One of
the harvest hands caught her as the machine
kicked her out, and set her on the ground
right side up, when it was found that she had
been more frightened than hurt" Now, if
