oy physielans with whom the Captain was un-
acquainted would aEgrayate his symptoms and
seriously Interfere with the quiet necessary to
his recovery.
Inspector Coniin reminded her that we were
mere by direction Of The Board Of Police. to
which she made the reply substantially the same
as that said to have been made by her the pre-
eedng day. Inspector Conin then requested that
he, as Acting Superintendent OF Police be al
lowed to visit Capt Devery individually. To
this Mrs. Devery answered that her doctors direc-
lions we're TO admit no one, and that she pro-
nosed to follow them. and to protect her husband
life even at the risk OF mourning an infraction
OF police rules
DR.. Hamilton then asked II she knew the prob
able consequences of her refusal, and she replied
10 him that regardless Of consequences she would
do what she thought best for tho preservation
OF her husbands health, inasmuch as she had
been told that 1t was uncertain now that he
would ever recover.
