Mr.. Morgan declined to submit.
THE BLACKMAIL BEGUN
When Mrs. Quinn was arrested for her
assault upon the gsntlem an in official posi-
ton she employed Mr.. Morgan to
her attorney with having borrowed
S47 80 from her and demanded its payment.
Mr.. Morgan at once saw blackmailing
scheme in sight and told Mrs. Quinn be
wanted to have nothing more to do with
her.
Then she began to haunt the firms office
until her visits became so annoying that
Mr.. Seabrook ordered her TO keep away
from the place.
One afternoon she attacked Mr.. Morgan
with her umbrella and when Mr.. Seabrook
interfered she turned on him. He sent for
policeman and had her taken from the
building.
A few days after Mrs. Quinn returned to
the Office and renewed her attack upon Mr..
Morgan with the same umbrella.
HAD Mr.. sEABROoK ARRESTED.
Again Mr.. Seabrook interfered, and
while endeavoring to eject her as gently as
possible the woman tore her dress, and after
leaving the lawyers Office went before
Justice Shettall and swore out a warrant
charging Mr.. Seabrook with assault and
battery. He was given q hearing and
promptly acquitted.
During the investigation In Justice Shelf
alPs office Mrs. Quinn attacked Mr.. Morgan
with her old standby, the umbrella, and
Justice Sheftall placed her under arrest.
The prosecution was dropped when the
woman took an oath that she would never
again bother either Mr.. Seabruok or Mr.
Morgan or go near their office.
Mrs. Quinn, however, had no regard for
her oath and continued her annoying visits
to Seabrook q Morgan's office despite Mr..
Seubrooks warnings that if she did not de-
slSt he would have her arrested and prose
cuted.
THE LAST ATTACK.
Wednesday afternoon while Mr.. Sea-
brook and Mr.. Morgan we're preparing an
important case, Mrs. Quinn suddenly an
peared as apparition and before either
could speak she began to belabor Mr. Nor
gan with her umbrella. Mr.. Seabrook took
the weapon from her and she grabbed up a
book OF Georgia statutes and aimed it at his
head.
Hold on, Mrs. Quinn, those are my
Georgia statutes" said Mr.. Seabrook.
Il don't care IL they are the statutes of
-" answered the woman, aud suddenly
changing her mind from her original pur-
pose, Mrs Quinn planted the big book on
Mr.. Morgans breast.
The attorney restrained himself from vio>
fence TO Uhe woman, although his patience
was sorely tried. and seeing that persuasion
would have no effect upon her he went be-
fore Justice Sheftall and swore out a war
rant, charging her with assault and bat.
terry. Mrs. Quinn was arrested and this
morning she will be tried before Judge Mac.
Donell. Solicitor General Fraser intends to
vigorously prosecute the case and make an
example OF the woman.
MADE LIFE ALMOST UNBEATABLE.
Since Mrs. Quinn began her Matchmaking
attempts upon Mr.. Morgan several months
ago she has made life burden 70 him. She
thought she had an easy victim in the
young attorney on account OF The promi-
nent position he occupies at the bar, but
when she found that he would not tamely
submit she began the tactics OF making
scenes at every opportunity Ia the hope of
wringinR by desperation out of Mr.. Morgan
the money which she had failed to get hy
simply demanding.
She even went so far as to follow Mr..
Morgan into hotel and to the door of his
home. He owed her nothing and did not
propose TO allow himself to be frightened
into giving away his money.
MIR. Morgan deserves credit for the for
bearance he has exhibited under the ordeal.
Few men would have withstood the perse-
cution or maint tanned control of their pa
thence as long as he did. Mr.. Morgan
reported the matter to the woman's hus-
band, but he said he could do nothing with
her and gave the attorney full PERMISSION
to throw her out of his office at any time.
