The Offences between the Pennsylvania and the

SHE SAYS THE CHARGES ARE FALSE.

Madame Legendre, who keeps boarding house In
East Forty frstst., and who has been charged by
Augustine Lemore one OF her servants. with having
cruelty beat her, told a Tribune reporter that
Lemore had an ungovernable temper and at times
gave way to fits OF manacal frenzy. AT one time it
was thought that Lemore would have TO be removed
to an asylum. She denies that she owes her money
or that she ever assaulted her Madame Legendre's
statement IS corroborated BY her boarders, who all
agree in saying that Lemore was always treated with
great kindness and consideration BY Madame Legendre
but that her violent temper and general oensveness
made her presence distasteful to everyone In the
house. So far from Madame Lcgendre beating
Gemore, they declare that Lemore has repeatedly
assaulted her mistress. Madame Legendre intends
bringing cross action against Lemoe for defamation
Of character and attempt to extort money.
