York have lived proper life. My

going to stay. I told him I did not
see what difference it made to him
unless he was going to pay my board
bill, and that l was not in the habit
OF asking strangers to do. He told
me to leave the house for I intended
to make trouble but I told him I
had not been there two hours yet
and was creating no trouble and that
l intended to stay for they had no
right to make me go. Mr.. Smith told
me he was Saulpaugh's attorney and
that Saulpaugh did not want me here,

that the interview was at an end, and
If Mr.. Saulpaugh wanted to see me he

Mr.. Saulpaugh said he intended to

plying the rooms furnished you by

these are all the names 1 went under
there"

Paul were you frequenter of re-
sort called 'Woodvine?' 81 don't re-
member ever having heard the name,"
