He next proceeds to inform the reader of little
history regarding Mr.. Talbot, who he saws
died at Elkhart, Ind, claiming that 1t was the
cause of nearly separating myself and husband"
The fact is that Mr.. Molloy assisted in the care
of Mr.. Talbot in his last illness, which was at
South Bend, and not Elkhart as stated, and
warmly defended him from the assaults of the
newspapers, who i'll naturedly charged US with
Shielding him while he was engaged in gilt

made George Graham dig ghoul-like, into the
grave of this man who had been dead ten years,
to SANDER him. unless 1t be that he thought the
fact that had been criticised by some CEN
serious people for ministering to him IN his
dying hours. as a little return for the many
kindnesses he had shown me when was just be-
ginning my public work, would give color to this
SANDER about himself
But we come now from the general allegations
TO something more definite, and easier to refute.
He claims the following liaisons with myself and
Cora Lee, which in my case are far easier refuted
than in hers, because of my public work, but
know where Cora was on every date and can
testify that whoever he may have passed for
Mrs Graham, it was not the woman he alleges.
He particulariZes with great minuteness OF
detail as follows: He clai inns to have met me
