JERSEY CITY HEIGHTS,
No. 1872 HOPKINS AVE.
June IL, 1894.
To the Editor of the Jersey City Necs.:
81 read in the columns of your paper last
evening the statement made by James Mil
vaney against his wife, Mrs. Sarah Jane
Milvaney, which | must say is absolutely
false. And as for speaking about a divorce
| wouldn't take the trouble to go from here
to the Court House to fight it. There are
parties in Hoboken who have written to me
and told me that ii l wished to obtain a
divorce why they would supply me with all
the information | wished. The information
which l nave received already would be
enough to obtain four or five divorces for
me. but l am of the faith that does not be-
lieve in divorces. l have put up enough
with him already. When he took $500 $50 the
lodge members said from the Royal Society
Of Good Fellows, he gave it out in all the
papers that he was in Bloomburg, Penn,
and that when he heard all that was said
about him he came home on a freight train.
Now that is a lie. He went to my mothers
at Washington, DC, and spent In the City
of Washington on women and races all the
money which he took from the lodge. Ny
nephew, brothers and mother can testify to
this. When he came back home ] paid his
way. He came on no freight train, but IN
the same train on which my daughter came.
| paid his way back because | thought that
he would reform, but now you can sac how
he has reformed. l can open peoples eyes if
| wished to. He has no right whatever to
be in the GAR, no more than a man who
has never been in the war, because he was a
deserter. He said that he was wounded in
the late war and now he is trying to obtain
q pension, which is not true, as there was
never any record of it ever made. He never
paid any of his bills, which | can prove by
I.,,l,4l, ~. 4Ia Hi ua 30 IF tho Nnfnio,
that there is no hell and he would just as
leave swear to a lie as he would to the truth.
He has been run out of a city out west at
the point of q pistol for running after a
doctors wife in that city. | have witnesses
to that also, and as for hat woman Kane,
alias Faber, of Hoboken, she can have him
and good radiance to him, as | would never
live another minute with such a low, de-
graded person as he.
When we went to Washington, D. c., with
$500 he stole from the lodge, why he told me
to sell everything and to come on there, and
| sold quite a number of things and among
the things was his bed. l sold them so that
| could get money to support myself, and
what was left ] sent on to Washington and
was trying to get enough money for to SO on
to Washington, d. c., myself. When [ re-
ceived q letter from a party stating it was
the worse thing | ever done in my life-to
move on to Westinghouse he was just as
bad there as he was here and worse. l then
had all the things brought back and he came
back with my daughter; and then for three
weeks steady he came home drunk and
wanted to fight me. | told ain to act like a
man and go to work and support his house,
and if he wouldn't do hat why be could do
something else. A few days after, when I
was sick abed, he came in drunk. and the
doctor had only left me twenty minutes, and
took a truck load Of furniture. Among some
things he took was a bed lounge which he
sleep on instead of the floor which. he said,
he did. The bed lounge is now in Mrs. Kane,
alias Faber's kitchin, and the other things
are all scattered in her rooms.
Mrs. s. J. MILvANEx.
