sive opium smoking in Chinese den at No.

| There was also found in Jennie Woods
/ album cabinet photograph of Mr.. Winston

| Frederick II. Winston" Jennie Woods, o.
( Jennie Jones, was once belle in Cleveland
| She was surrounded with admirers 1t i
| known that she had aspirations purer anC
higher than those of the lite she lately led
| and it seems probable that IT was in the ex
| ercise of these on her part that her friend
ship for Mr.. Winston grew. Mrs Pierce
| the landlady at No. 50 Dearborn avenue
| where Miss Woods lived, said yesterda,
that when Miss Woods saw in the papers tn
notice of Mr.. Winston's contemplated maj
| rage with Miss Calhoun she became dC
| spondent She would sit and read it at il
teryals, remarking the while: could hav
married Minister Winston myself and gone
| Europe Why didn't do it." Mrs Laul
| Morris, who introduced Miss Woods to NJ
| Winston, said in speaking of the RELATIONSHIP
| between them Z" His intentions, as far as
| could learn, were to educate her well, max
her fine lady, and then, possibly, in Il
| course OF time marry her." Miss Woods r
: fused to marry him, so she told Mrs. Morri
because she did not love him.
