oh irhuman woman" he exclaimed,
''inhuman monster In order to hide
her own conduct she lays it on this
man. We are appealed to by this wo-
man in stage play by the sacred name

tears over children whose deaths she
had forgotten; to coin money out of
the pockets of the man with whom she

He referred to the life of Miss Pollard
at Miss Hoyts house, in Lexington,
when she played the innocent school
girl on the landlady.
Then she came to Miss Lowell, the
typewritist at the capitol, and produced
her memorandum book to show that it

There was not any fussing or sweat

suing a course of immortality agreea-
bic to each other, and were telling any
little lies that came along to help each

said.
Concerning Mrs. Blackburn, Colonel

If Colonel Breckenridge had been dis
