like conspiracy:

wonderful memory about what was said
each time he gave Mrs. James money.

Poor Mrs. Trubb.
A suit has been commenced in the
Superior Court by Mrs. Rosalie Trubb to
recover $500 which she paid to Mrs.
Peter Olsen, who lives on Santa Clara
avenue. Alameda A contract was en-
tered into between the two last June
whereby Mrs. Olsen agreed to provide
Mrs. Trubb with home for the rest of
her days in consideration of $500. Mrs.
Irubb hid not get home in her old age,
but instead bad treatment and abuse and
was arrested by the Olsens and taken
before the Lunacy Commission but dis
charged, as 1t looked like case of trying
20 railroad the old lady to an asylum.
| Mrs. Trubb is over 20 years of age,
and the $500 was all she had in the world.
She wants it back or she will have to de-
pend on charity for the rest of her days.
