Another Chapter of Story.
Arthur SDencer's wife has written a
letter which has been published in the
Oakland Enquirer. 1t is as follows:
The statements OF the gentl emau, Arthur
Spencer in Tuesdays Enquirer, are malicious
and false TO The core.
-Four months ago | married man known as
rThur Spencer, representing himself as a
Chinese Interpreter at the Custom house in San
Francisco. Three months passed. and DO
money came. l sold all had, nearly, 10 sup
port the household. AT last he stopped sud
denly his daily visits 10 the city, saying he
would work no more until he was paid.
Debts piled up on me TIL was half crazy.

thirty days, and that there was no money due

mentS. | began 10 doubt bis word then. and
satisfied myself by going to the city 10 ascertain
the facts. / was stunned, almost, when | was
told at the Custom-bouse that no such person
had ever worked there, and that consequently
no wages was due him.
then proceeded 10 sell my hOme-I did not
feel able to support my lodger any longer-and
went out to work to obtain livelihood.
My gentleman once gave me 81 so; not 500
per month as stated. This was all ever saw
from him. 1hlS he said, his aunt, Mrs. Anna
Montgomery, gave him. He also claims 10 have
an uncle in san Francisco by the name OF DIR.

directory. The letter L received from Mr..
Bailey contained only well wishes for myself
and "nuSbaud." There is no basement in the
house in which | worF ed. Yes, [ am woman
who once drank, and L am proud 10 say as well
that do not now use iUtoXlcants in any way,
nor aid | ever use the gold cure or anything
else. except will and perseverance. l find that
home, selfrespect and industry are virtues OF

our way together. He repeatedly threatened
my life aud kept me IN endless torture, until
health gave out and all / had must 90. l did
not make any threats nor did l cause him any
trouble, and / cannot understand why he

His trip To Oregon consisted In just this and
nothing more. A week ago he came TO me 10
give him SO 10 30 to Oregon, saying he would
go and retrieve" himself and be man II |
would Only give him the $40; lie would go TO
work and paw his bills, which Will reach near
$500. This | did l would not trust him with
Ihe money. so bought ticket for him and saw
him off. The following Monday he turned I'D
again, saving, "Mr. Murphy would give him a
job at $50 a month II his wife was with him."
But that story was TOO much.
If he can contest this case he is at liberty to
proceed. AS a lest of his honesty go to the junk
store below Seventh street and Broadway and
ask about revolver
If this Thing that wears pants could speak
the truth it would be all right, but to make such
statements for publication Is step too far TO
be wise. OF course 1t is nice. very nice, to have
one TO support us, but felt as though my boys
needed it most, as the gentleman was hearty
and we'll.
| DO not wish him any harm-ouly TO go his
own way, believing every one who does as
he has done will receive his reward some day.
