the Mason co Is married and lived WIN
his wife and children at the 81 Clare
hotel while / when in R stopped AT
the Exchange hotel and was stopping
there when left for Washington TO marry
my wife. This is an easy matter 10 IN
vestieate. By inquiry at the Exchange
hotol Won will ind / boarded there while
inouirv at the ST. Claire SHOULD show the
same thing for Mr. Maxwell or the
Mason Co. An inquiry Of the wife of
Mir. Maxwell should also develope the
fact that he boarded and lived with her
and her children at the ST clare. II
this is so 10 should establish our idenu-
ties as II is hardly possible for Two peo-
