The LandIady,s Story.
At the home of Mis-. Walker every
thing was quiet last night, and when a
reporter of the GLOBE called to get her
statement he was welcomed into the
parlor, and 4 full and complete state
ment of the case given in SO far as it re-
lated TO the time the young lady
spent there and the treatment she
received. Mrs. Walker is a middle
aged lady of pleasant address, and
gives her occupation as a life reader.
She also has dodgers, and her home
looks like the abode of a well-to-do
woman. When questioned with regard
to a young lady who had died in her
house. she at first desired to know how
II where tile reporter had gained
his knowledge, evidently putting
this out as q feeier to see
how much he knew. Being told
a few facts in the case she readily saw
that the entire story was out, and eX-
pressed her entire Willingness to make
a clear statement OF the case. She
stated that she did not know anything
about the young lady-as to who or
what she was. 1.-The first time she
called she came for a reading. and [
told her of her weakness. not having
any suspicion at that time Of the real
OF her trouble. She came
back in about two weeks, which "a
a week ago last Saturday and asked for
treatment for q private disease. This l
gave her, having the prescription filled
myself and presenting it to her with d.
rection how to use. | am willing and
can show the prescription of this
remedy at the drug store where it
was filled. Being simply a wash she
was able to use it herself, and [ thought
very little more of the matter till last
Saturday afternoon, when she called
again, and asked to he allowed to re-
main over Sunday. as she was feel
Ing so badly she could hardly stand
up, and she did not like to stay
at the Milford house. owing to the rea-
IONS already mentioned above. This
J consented to, and made a casual
examination of the girl, finding she was
badly diseased. / had no suspicious
of anything else being wrong, and. as
she told me that she did not have to
go to work any more that day, l gave
her a room and told her to remain
as quiet as possible. She told me
about her working, and that time had
been cut down SO that she was only able
to earn her board. She told me that she
would pay ME as oon as work was bel
Ger, but l told her not to mind about
that, as L felt SO sorry for the poor,
pretty little thing that L would have
helped her under any circumstances, as
1t has always been my nature to help
those in distress, and [ really
had a motherIy feeling for
the child. She went to her
room, and | did not see her again that
afternoon, asI went down town on some
business. There were plenty of books
IN the room, and when l went in to see
her in the evening and asked her if she
felt lonesome she replied not at all. She
had some supper. and seemed to have
passtd a pleasant night when | spoke
TO her oil Sunday morning. | had Civ
en- her instructions of how to call me in
case she desired anything during the
night. She had dinner with all of
us OH Sunday, and in the evening
l took her some toast and tea.
The End Approaching.
Monday morning she was not quite so
well, and, after seeing her, she COM
planned of terrible pains. l gave her
a mustard plaster, aud, as l had other
duties to attend to. l asked a lady in the
next room If she would not come and sit
with Mollie till | returned. This ladv's
name is Miss Osborne, and she came in
and read her the paper and other
wise entertained her. She was
taken very sick along toward
noon. but | supposed it was the action
of the mustard plaster. When l came
home from down town Miss Osborne
told me that she thought there must be
something wrong with the young lady,
as she acted very peculiarly dur
ing her attentions to her and had
made the most strenuous efforts
visit the bath room, which she was pre-
vented from doing by her. as she
thought she might catch cold. Later
on she called my attention to the fact
that the nose of the invalid was rapidly
becoming black, and looked so peculiar
in contrast with her white face. OF
course | then knew what was the matter,
and Immediately telephoned for DR..
Sawyer, who stated that he would be at
the house at 5 O'Clock. lie came at 4:45..
and just a few moments before the poor
girl expired. We had been chatting her
hands aud breast with liquor, and when
the doctor came | asked if there was
any hope. but he shook his head, as she
had already expired. She brought
nothing with her except her night
clothes, and had nc medicines about her
whatever. Whatever had taken place
must have taken place several days be-
fore, and either at the girls home or
somewhere else. Coroner Whitcomb
was Immediately notified, and every

died. When he arrived he took charge
of the remains, and had them removed
to the undertaking rooms, where they
now lie. l desire to say that | am pre-.
pared to do anything to help bury
this unfortunate waif, and would
also like TO see her parents OF
relatives in order to tell them
all the circumstances surrounding the
death of their unfortunate daughter.
am really sorry that | allowed the body
to be taken from the house, as l would
like to have aided in the funeral, but il
there is anything that | can do in any
way, shape or manner to aid in clearing
up this strange case, | would be oni,
too happy to do So"
The coroner could not be found las
evening, and it is not known whether
there will be an inquest OF not. 1t /.
quite likely that some action will bt
taken this morning to that end. 1t i:
certainly a case which the authorize.
should look into.
