full story Of wrongs she has suffered dur
ing the past nine years through the cruel
deception and false promises of one Frank
Jones, at present employed as a mechani-
cal engineer by the Passaic Gas Com

According to her story she is the daugh-
ter of the late Patrick Mulvey, OF West

was taken care of by a friend of her par

child died.
She sought out the Whereabouts OF the

renewed his attentions and again, prom
ising marriage, deceived her a second
time. He persuaded her to &C to Passaic
with him, and kept her as a mistress un-
til the second child was born. Then he
again deserted her, and while living him

woman he had SO cruelty wronged

faith that he would eventually relent she

that her story was not altogether true.
He claimed that the woman was drunk

of our great statesmen, let me say,
"Burn this letter" Don't tear it up,

say, if it were to get out-that is, II
they could prove that our work had any
political significance attached TO lit
