supposed to have pocketed at least S400.
His aged mother was seen yesterday by
the Republican representative, to whom
she said: 81 have but little to say. My
son has robbed me of my home and my
heart is broken"
Among other things che said that she
had feared for some time that all was not
right, and had spoken to Ed about the
matter, and she believed that this fastened
his departure. II is certain that Ed
Enochs intended to leave the city without
letting his mother know when he went OF
where he had gone.
This il clearly shown In letter written
by Enochs to his clerk. Daniel Ryan. Any
one who would read the letter would
make up their mind st once that Ed
Knocks was no business man. and 1t is
quite certain that he could not have per-
shaded any business man that he on a
1000 investment would be able TO pay
his mother 500 month until the debt
was paid, and still continue in business.
