me gladly, though 1 would not leave my

time giaoly,though 1 would not leave my
children.
Il had no idea until Senator Stewart made
his affectionate demonstrations toward me
the day he gave ME the medicine that he
had any such notions. The stuff was in an
ordinary medicine bottle and tasted bitter.
1 cannot tell you how it affected me. ex-
cept that it made me feel very queer, very
drcwsy. and-well. all know is that 1 lost
complete control CT myself.
Then our relations continued for perhaps
eight or nine months. Sometimes he sent
for me- sometimes 1 went to him to see
about getting the position. At all times he
was sure that he would soon get the place,
and he was always aftectionate and tender.
He was very liberal with me as to money.
and 1 do not believe that he gave Mrs.
Stewart more means than he placed at my
disposal
Il cannot prove these things, of course,
for they are not susceptible of proof. 1t is
my word against his. Yet there is one
nan who, If he would tell the truth would
verify what 1 have said. That is Senator
Stewards secretary, who, 1 am ashamed
to say. entered the office one day unex-
pecte0ly and found us in a compromising
position. But of course, his mouth is seal
ed So far 1 have no lawyer, and i do not
know whether there will be one on my side
or not. My husband seems determined to
press the suit, and 1 understand he has
declared that he will obtain custody of at
least three of the children. 1 know 1 have
shown myself unworthy of keeping charge
of them, but cannot overcome my mother
love for them, and L want them all il can
keep them.
Her Relations With MI. Glascuck.
Now, II is said that Mr.. Glascock is
here, that I have him in hiding. and that
We are working together. 1 assure you.
sir, solemnly. that that is false. We have
not lived together as man and wife since
last December, when he first began to sus-
pect my relations with the Senator. Then
there was a row. and he tried to kill me.
I wish he had. and then killed himself
1t would have been the best thing for us
scandal. which has wrung my heart almost
to bursting. 1 defended myself, however.
and forced him of by throwing that conch
shell at him. He lived in the house with
me OF and on. as he pleased. but he would
not acknowledge our marital relations.
He Is not here. You are at liberty this
moment to search the house He has not
been near me for months. and am telling
the whole truth when I say that do not
know where he Is at this moment, nor
have 1 known since the 2lst of August.
On that day l received a letter from rela-
tive In Statesville, n. c., telling me that
my husband was then there. Last Thurs
day letter came to the door here by post
man addressed to him in a strange hand
writing. postmarked Statesville. and i sus-
pect that it was sent a trick to get me
to open 1t. did not. however. and merely
handed IT back to the postman, saying
that 1 did not know where MIR. Glascock
was.
Simply Told the Truth.
Detectives are around here about all
the time. watching the house and spying
on my movements. They are In the employ
OF Senator Stewart. My husband has never
hired detectives. He may have watched
me. and had his friends help him to do so,
but he never paid a cent for such work"
Mrs. Glascock spoke Of these expe-
riences without a tear. She is a woman Of
considerable attractiveness. and her face
shows the marks OF early refinement Her
forehead and eyes are particularly good,
though her mouth bears the signs of trou-
BILE. Her house is bare, and, as she said,
poor. There is little furniture left, and the
children seem sadly in need of new clothes.
They are bright and Intelligent. however.
and the eldest. a girl of ten. Is the house
keeper. Mrs. Glascock talks rapidly and
with emotional accent.
Senator Stewards Comment.
Senator Stewart was in his Office in the
Corcoran building when the reporter show
asked him If he wished to make a state

given my side of this affair to the public,
and now L am going to be quiet. L have
nothing more to say.
But Mrs. Glascock makes a very serious
charge against you here about drugging
her." said the reporter.
Charges. Yes. more charges" sneered

settled, and L have no more to do with IL. /"
do you know where Glascock is now?'
asked the reporter.

He's right here in town; right in her
