EXPLODING WILSON'S STORY.
His Sister Comes Forward and EIatiy
COAstratsicts Him.

Mrs. George NJ Rice, OF UXbridge, Mass called
with her husband at the Worcester Gazette office
yesterday. She is the Oldest daughter OF jonas
Wilson, and sister OF Levi. Her story completely
contradicts thar OF Wilson that he is the son of
Philip L. Moen. She was at home in Norti oxford
when Levi was born, and she had watched him grow
up as an infant ana through childhood He WAS
the son OF her own parents without any doubt.
He was named after her uncle, Levi E,sSendan.
Her father died at Quatidick, Coliu.. and she VAS
with hill all through his Illness. Levi WAS also
living at home. There never was any death-bed
confession by her father, as stated by Levi She
knew OF Lewis suddenly becoming rich, but he
EeVer explained II to her. She had received gifts
tioIu him, but only in brotherly way. She meyer
received anything for keeping any secret She
thought Levi must be out of his mind.
Yesterday afternoon a reporter went TO East
Thompson Conn., and had an interview with Mrs.
Lyman Porter. who empha'ically declared that
she Is WILSON'S mother, and that Jonas Wilson was
hiSrea father She also said that the reports OF the
records OF WILSON'S birth at oxford, printed In the
papers, are correct. She thinks that Wilson is not
in his right mind. or that he acted tmpuisively
She does not know OF any mystery. She is sixty
eight years Old, and is broken down In health.
Wilson Is the perfect picture of her In the face
especially the nose, forehead and expression OF
the eyes. She never saw or heard OF Moen until
late years. Her husband Is 4 Shoemaker, and is
supported mostly by Wilson. The only possible
d0ubt concerns his father, Mrs. Porter falte.esl

letter was an Invitation 10 Morrison 80 speak AZ q
