Hart for Mr.. Carlile, and Mr.. Hart for
Miss Crute. Mr.. Hart has not filed any
answer yet, as the case will lot come up in
the Circuit Court until July, but the an
swtr will he a denial Of the charges, and it
will set up, also, that there was q con-
spiracy to deiraud Miss Crute.
An Examiner reporter went up on the
DOnahue line of railway to interview Miss
Sally CTute touching her relations with w.
D.CalIle, late Of Kansas City, and with his
wife, Mrs. Garlic.
II had been asCertained by an Examiner
special correspondent that the young lady
had left Utah early in the morning, and
she Was met en- route and interviewed.
At the San Francisco terminus a hand
some young manO of 81 met her and escorted
her away. The meeting was evidently an
understood matter. The couple boarded a
Market-stTeet car, which carried them to
the Palace Hotel. They at once entered
the ladies' sittiug-rOOm and Mics Crute sat
i'll n rOCking.Chair and expressed az elO.
quently as possible her interest in the
opinion her escort would form, and what
line OF policy she would be advised to
pursue.
Miss Crute left the sitting room for a few
moments and Mr.. Carlile invited the re-
porter in.
After some desultOry conversation, Miss
Crute returned TO the rOom, and she, Mr..
Carlile and the reporter got into q corner
and had n quiet chat.
Now, Sally" said Mr.. CarlIle, 'Tthink
You can tell the reporter the truth, and it
will be nothing hnt right"
We'll" said the lady, II deny nearly
everything To begin with. Mr.. Carlile be-
anne my guardian at my own suggestion
several years ago, and do not consider
that thsre is any good reason for me to
msks a change.
II had been out of school two years
when ! entered Mr.. Carlile's family, and
the ~allegstios of May Mrs. C.. that my
family were ignorant is preposterous.
Why, both father and mother were as in
telligent as they coald be, and as we had
money, there was no excuse for the chill
dren being uneducated. ] have a brother
and a sister Younger than myself who are
at school. | entered tho Carlile family
with the consent Of my family and by my
own wish"
GENERAL DENIALS.
"When Mr.. Carlile came ont here in
1888 it was at the suggestion of Mrh. Car
lille. The allegations contained in the
Kansas City Tunes touching our relations
were absolutely false, and must have been
instigated by maleyolencs and personal
ill.will. There we're no grounds for the
charges.
Upon Mr.. Carlile's return to Kansas
City he was Justly indignant at the charges
which had been made against him, and
which also involved me, and be, at the in
stigation Of his wife, shot Mr.. Mumford,
the editor OF the Times, who had foully
libeled rs both.
at was q hard matter to hold the same
social position in Kansas City which we
had heretofore enjoyed after the terrible
disturbances which had occurred, and we
concluded that il would be q good idea to
90 to Chicago and leave the fearful old
skeleton to rattle in the Kansas closet as
it might

'sIn the meantime, when Mr.. Garlic was
under arrest for shooting Mr.. Mumford
and others. his wife came 10 mi and asked
for So, 500 TO bail him ont | gave her q
check for the amount, but as Mr.. Carllle
was bailsd ont By some of his friends, and
a. Mrs. Carlle has never accounted to me
for that AMOUNT, it Ia still due. She also
owes me 81. 5l MOE mskinS-sS5S5Sfnx

many other sums not present and account
ed for that she has absorbed. The atmos-
phere of Kansas City was not pleasant for
rs, "a indeed il would not be for any one
under similar circumstances, and it was,
az 7 said before, determined to leave there.
"All this time May and I were the
closest friends. There was no hint or in
d~ieation Of q rupture between Us, and l
thought she really loved me. She insisted
mon my coming out hsFe with her hus-
band, and of course / did not object, as /
wanted to travel.
