Her solicitous regard for her sons ap-
pears in these lines from her letter of
November 2S, 1888:
l wish you could persuade Eugene to remain
in America and become a good American
citizens aud 90 to work at something. He Is
ouly on visit 10 his wife's family. l hope Dan
is not too intimate with Mr. Ford. l saw Mrs.
Ford in Paris; her friends say that she is going
to have divorce, that she cannot stand his
drinking.
At the opening of the afternoon session.
! Attorney Moore argued without any
grounds whatever that the letters should
not be given out. He suggested although
| they were judicial records the court could
rule against making them public. There
were other cases than divorce proceedings
tried with closed doors, he contended, and
in this one at least Judge Henshaw had
the power 10 keep the papers under lock
and key.

any duty in regard to these papers" re-
piled the court

gentlemen of the press" said Moore, mot
TO publish any portions not offered in evi-

"As to that" was the reply, "that is a
matter Of good taste with them, whether
they publish matters not bearing Oh this
case"
So the suppressed notes, some of them
racy. others interesting, were liberated.

His club will not let him return. This is most

The following extracts from one OF

cred of importance. as they evidenced the
writer's position in April, 1888, when the
letter was written:
