MT. mOen,S Mother a stamford Lady F. Connecticut ParenIage.
 The mother of Philip L. Moen, the Wor- cester, Mass, wire manufacturer, who has been made the victim of probably the most stupendous scheme of blackmail upon record by ''Doc" Wilson, lives in Stamford. Mrs. Moen is about eighty years of age, and regu larly attends the Presbyterian church. Once or twice a month Moen visits her and accom- panies her to the church services. Moen's father died several years ago, an elder of the church, and in his memory the son put in a memorial window at cost of about 2,000. The aged Mrs. Moen is highly esteemed by the people of Stamford, and those who know him have the sentiments of regard and confidence for the man who has been made the subject of such widespread newspaper notoriety on account of his having paid over $500, 900 to Wilson to prevent the latter from diyulging a secret ill his possession. Mrs. Moen and Stamford people well acquainted with all parties do not credit Wilson's story that he is the son of Moen and has been paid the enormous sums he has received not to re- veal the secret.
