MRS. ANDERSON TALKS.
She Did Not Leave Town, but Is
Sick.

Lou Anderson, the widow OF Joseph
F. Anderson, whose failure to appear
at the inquest on Saturday gave rise to
the story that she had left the city,
was located yesterday by Detective
Howard in the Alden block on Second
avenue south. Mrs. Anderson is con-
fined to bed suffering from nervous
prostration. She was interviewed yes
terday by reporter, and said:
'sWhat I stated Immediately after my ar.
rest, that my husband fired the first shot, is
true | will explain all that to the coroner's
jury or some other proper tribunal as soon
as get well enough to leave my bed | am
sure it is not pleasant to lie here and think
of this terrible thing. Ii ] was up and around
there might be something TO keep my mind
''Mrs. Anderson. it is reported by private
detective that Buchan had been warned sew
eral times by your husband to discontinue
his relations with you. Is that true?" quer-
led the reporter.
mo. it is not true" replied Mrs. Ander-
son, with as much emphasis as she could
possibly give in her enfeebled condition.
TINY husband had never seen Mr.. Buchan
until the time of the shooting. He had not
received any communication from him, and
did not know such man lived"
st is said, Mrs. Anderson, that you led
Buchan to believe that you were single
woman"
81 was introduced to him as Miss Ander-
son. He believed, no doubt, that was I'M
married. and / will admit that l never took
the trouble TO remove that impression. My
husband and l had had great deal of
trouble, and when meeting Mr.. Buehan and
other gentlemen did not think it was neces-
sary to go into history of my domestic
troubles. Mr.. Buehan appeared TO be per-
feet gentleman, and he certainly acted like
one. Our relations were entirely proper. He
is an educated man, pleasant company,
and 1 enjoyed his company. He. no
doubt thought all along that | was single
woman. What letters he wrote me came ad-
dressed to Miss Anderson. | have read or
heard read good deal that has been printed
since the terrible affair. and l must say
great many unfounded things have been
published. But l am not complaining. There
is no good in complaining under these cir
cumstances. The affair is frighttul one,
and l must try to stand IT, | do think it is
very wrong in the papers to say that showed
no FEELING in the matter, that | turned away
when my wounded husband fell over into
the gutter, and that when / heard of his
death on Friday appeared cold aed indiffer-
ent. AS soon as my husband was
could not look after him. When went into
the court room perhaps appeared calm and
collected. When | was taken into custody
made up my mind to bear it. and make the
best of q very great trouble When l went
into court put my will to work. 1 have a
very strong will, and got along pretty well
until heard of my husbands death. Then
broke down completely. could not stand
it. OF course we had great deal of trouble,
but TO know of strong, healthy man being
struck down so suddenly, is indeed terrible.
And then to think that was concerned in
the tragedy. have been out OF my head
most of the time since took TO this bed.
When left my husband the last time I was
fully convinced that We should never come to-
gether again. was earning my own living
and living entirely independent Of him. 1t
does seem to me can never get over think
