surdly jealous and every time spoke to
gentleman he has accused he of being I'M
faithful to him. There has been absolute
Iy no ground for such a charge. He has
choked me and several times threatened TO
shoot me-"
"About three months ago We found
that there was more room In this fiat than
we wanted, and portion of il was rented
to a Mr.. Chase, who is connected with an
insurance company down town. MIR.
Moore at once became very Jealous Of him,
and several times accused OF intimacy
With this man. Mr.. Chase had transacted
some business for me and that was the ex-
tent of our acquaintance. Once when
Moore came In and found me playing
cards with Mr.. Chase and friend of his
he made such a scene that they thong Int he
was crazy. Mr. Chase was obliged to leave
the house and shortly after became cry
sick. He had some papers regarding Mr..
Nortons life insurance which had been
sent to NE TO sign and / was ANXIOUS to

THE QUARREL GROWS WARM.
sT wrote Mr.. Chase letter saying that

abusel, and il this letter PERHAPS | went
beyond the boun+s of a Sill Int acquaiDt-
anceship. 1t was open on my desk when
Mr. Moore came in, and he at once took
the letter / explained to him what it was,
but be refused to give it back to me. Sew.
eral times since then L have asked him
for ii, but be has always said that he
wanted TO keep it. L see now that he in
tended to use it against me. DE made
great fuss about my writing as l did 90
Mr.. Chase, but told him he was foolish
to act that way, and there was no reason
for il.
"Mr. Moore was not satisfied and sent
me a number of bogus kilograms. One tel

All this time my money was going rapidly. |
At last / became anxious about the papers

not there. His partner was just going up
town in a cab, and as he was In hurry he
told me to get into the cab, and while he
was driving me home he would explain
about the papers. / accepted the invita-.
ton, and when We reached the corner of
Lexington avenue and Forty-eighth street
i asked him to let me get out there as my
husband was very jealous and would make
scene if he saw me sc. cut of the cab.
We stopped at the corner, and Mr.. Moore,
who had been walking up and down Lex
