Mise Waters and Her Sister We're Sim
ply Followed by Goldstone.
1t proves that the story published in the
PosT-lNTELLIGENCKR of April 20 about Miss
Lizzie and Miss Mamie Waters having
eloped from San Francisco to this city was
incorrect and that a great injustice has
been done them by the publications both
here and in San Francisco; also that they
are not the trio who attracted the atten.
ton of the police at the Windsor hotel.
The fact appears to be that Miss Lizzie. in
her anxiety to escape the attentions of Mr..
Goldstone, accompanied her sister, Miss
Mamie, to this city on visit to their sis
ter. Mrs. Goodkind, and that Mr.. Gold
stone followed them the next day. Miss
Lizzie and Miss Mamie Waters are now
stopping with their sister at sos Fifth
street, and Mr.. Goldstone, though board
ing at that house, lodges on James street,
between Fifth and Sixth. The following
