Toronto people are still agitated In
high degree oyer the "Sallie Striuger"
case, although their Indignation over
the possible fact of a man going around
IN a wOman's attire was allayed BY the
examination yesterday by a family ply
sician, which proved Sallie'S sex to- be
female. One rumOr given in Toronto
as 20 why. II she were a man, she went
about In woman's attire, Is that by fig
uring as q female "Sallte" fell heir 10
money beQueathed by a distant relative
20 female relatives. Some weeks age a
representative Of a Columbus convent
came on aud told Mr.. Stringer, the
girls uncle. Of Miss Brinkman's deli
cate condition, and that 10 was due TO
the brides intimacy with the person
for whom he secured admission into
the institution as q female, being 10
fact q man, and asking Stringer to
bring about a marriage TO save the
church from scandal. Stringer was
also written to on the subject urg lg
the marriage, mainly because OF the
condition of the bride, the Columbus
party still insisting that ''Sallie" was 3
man. This is what led Stringer to pro-
cure q license. Tuesday night parties
1WhO called &C the house 90 see the groom
were told by Augustus that be was a
fully developed man and elf they
doubted 10 10 feel the beard on his
cheek" The bride also backed up the
claim that be was a man. Many in To-
rOntO think the affair disgracefnl and
that the law ought TO be brought into
force, but the statutes have been exam
ined and under the Ohio law it makes
it no misdemeanOr for one sex 10 wear
the clothes OF another. The groom
wore a suit Of mems clothing az the time
the marriage ceremony was performed.
II is also learned that "Sallie" has writ
ten a book, or an autobiography giving
perfOnal "reminiscences which will soon
be published.
Owing to the high pitch Of public in
teresL the family physician Wednesday
afternoon made sn examination Of the
case and found Saliie 10 be OF the
female sex and normal In form, and pro-
rounces the singular marriage as a case
or mOnOmania, as she has manifested
from early wOmanhOOd peculiar pre-
ference for her own sex.
Some time g q resident OF Toronto
employed Sallie Stringer 10 stay with
his wife while he made a prOtrated trip.
on his return the condition Of things In
his household led him TO make the
charge Of paternity against Sallie and
he consulted a S~teubenvule lawyer as TO
suit against her.
AT the time Sallie Stringer came home

she came in mems clothes, and when
she appeared az the home OF her uncle,
w. 7. Stringer, neither be nor his wife
would allow her 20 come In until she
changed TO girls clothes. She was In
this city at that time in mems clothes
on her way from Columbus 20 Toronto
The Columbus Journal says: The
principals TO this Alice MitcheIl-Freda
Ward ]infatuatiOn were located last
night as having been 40 st. AnthOny'S
Hospital, where Sallie Stringer was
under treatment for some time. In re-
Spouse to a telephone call ~ was ad-
mitted that SaIIie StriDger had been
there, but no further information was
given. A personal call az the hospital
brought more favorable results. When
asked about It the Mother Superior re-
oiled: ''You must excuse US from say
ing anything about { at all. We do not
care 20 have anyth1pg come from this
institution about ~. Whatever you
have from the outside is a different
matter, but wsrWish nothing to go out
from the Hospital. Then yOushaye
heard Of u" said the reporter. "Well,
yes" WS4 tke reply. Nothing further
couIo lH6 obtained from them.
SOME FURTHER DETAILS.

ToRoNro, o., October 5.-New devel-
opments ia the Sallie Stringer case are
coming 70 the front. Apriest from Co.
lumbus came TO Toronto last week and
going 70 Miss S~tringer's home, demand
ed thai Mas Sallie marry the young
lady, Miss Brinkmau, from the Column
bus, Ohio, Oonvent, saying that as she
was the father Of the unborn child Of
Miss BrinkmAn that it was her duty 70
do so. Following this demand came a
letter of the same character from the
same Columbus source, the misslve now
being held TO the hands OF Mr.. Stringer
to await legal developments IN the case
which will surely follow. From APP
pearanceS now coming 90 the surface 10
would seem that some man is respOnsi-
BILE for the paternity OF Miss Brinkman's
child, and q scheme was on foot TO cover
up the tracks Of the wrong by this I'M
seemly marriage.
A Toronto physician went TO the
home Of Strlngers on VOllmer avenue
yesterday afternoon and examined the
sex OF Miss Sallie Stringer. Her sex,
the physician states TO the REGISTER
correspondent, is that Of a fully devel-
Oped female, with no abnormal charac-
teristics. Further questioning the
yOung lady, he found that a fOndness
for her sea was really a mOnOmaDia.
After leaving the room, Miss Brinkman
accOsted the physician wich the QueS-
ton as 20 her (Sallie'Sl sex. The ply
stefan replied 90 her that she ought 20
know. She replied that il was a scheme
TO separate them, whereupOn the ply
stefan requested another examination
in her presence, but was met with a re-
-el from Sallie. How this queer, I'M
nix ia matrimonial affairs will
q both as 20 the prosecution OF
s closely interested, and the
che marriage IN the courts,
'th interest.
