afterwards learned that Mr.. Nickeus had
made iusinuating remarks about Gen.
Allen and Mrs. Archibald. Owing to q
strange coincidence a child was born
into the Archibald family, and twelve
hours afterwards Gen. Allen appeared
on the scene and remained several days

to the night before the child was born 1
never suspected OF such an occurrence.
Mrs. A. came into my room and in
formed me she was going to be ill.,
Upon questioning her I learned that she
expected to be confined. there and
then denied having any part in the pa
ternity OF the child But, for the love
Of my own child, for whom I have suf-
fered a life time, and would make any
sacrifice possible, again bore this for
her good name and welfare.
During the last four years OF DR..
Moore's connection with the hospital he
spent all bis spare hours in the society
of Mrs. A. and Mabie IN their private
rooms, to which I never expressed any
exceptions. Mrs: A. used DR.. Moore and
my daughter as instruments with which
to destroy my good name and erything
l held dear in life. These iutrigues be-
tween Mrs. A. and DR.. Moore commenced
about ono year before be was discharged
from the hospital.
DR.. Archibs'd further asserts that DR..
Moore only visited this hospital after
that,ln Archibald's absence; and surrep-
titiousIy; that Mable's attention was
called to this, and she was told to inform
DR.. Moore not to visit the institution
except on business; that she often
visited him at bis room at the Gladstone,
az did also Mrs. Archibald; that they
consulted lawyers together; that they
met at ex-Sherff McKechnie's place
where Mr.. Chamberlain, who had charge
of the asylum stock. resided, and where
Rev. Whitelaw also went to scandalize
every employee 'loyal to the institution
and it's management"
After these statements concerning the
rectltude of his wife, and the unpar-
alleled charge affecting the youngest
daughter of the family. DR.. Archibald
sewers in twain every home tie, every
claim of family pride, fatherly regard or
manly principle and without hesitancy
and with reckless abandon the off,
spring of pure seltishness, utters the
following insinuations and gives them to
the public:
In the year 1898 my daughter Mable,
was in school at Lake Forest, short
distance from Chicago, and about Christ
mas time DR.. Moore visited the city and
without my permission or consent and
against her promises that she would not
do 80, had her leave school day or two
before she should have done so IN order
for b. to come home for the holidays.
and spend time in the city with him,
Being notified that she had left school
and not knowing her whereabouts. l
$3.50 telegraphing and trying to get her
located. When did, she was quartered
at the Palmer House. This is the man
the majority Of the board is attempting
to give control Of the institution. This
is the man who had the effrontery to
demand of me the keys and vacate so
that he could take charge OF the instltu-
ton and OF my family, and l appeal to
any man who has family if have not
exercised forbearance to tho utmost
limit.
On further matters, of a more trivial
character, DR.. Archibald continues bis
remarkable contribution to the liter
ature of this public expose.
About year and half ago one, JAS
r. Winslow, also became very frequent
visitor in our household where he was
kindly entertained by Mrs. A. for over
two weeks, 90 l remember now, during
his wife's absence in Pennsylvania. Dur
ing this time Mr.. Winslow came to see
me and insinuated that something was
wrong between myself and Mrs. A. and
at various times asked impertinent ques-
tions and mentioned that Mrs. A. would
like to have things changed II possible.
He states that Mr.. j. r. Winslow at
one time afterward came at O'Clock at
night to drive Mrs. Archibald to Spirit
wood lake, where she spent three weeks
with the Wlnslow family, and that she
left her 6-year-old child at the asylum
alone in room without any one to
look after her; and to show the unbound
ed grounds of Mrs. Archibald's animos-
ity toward him, On incident Is mentioned
that occurred at an asylum picnic at the
lake, whereby young lady attendant,
at that time M,ss Harrison, was snubbed
by Miss Archibald and her friends, at
the request Of Mrs. Archibald, because
of some supposed relations between the
young lady and the doctor, and that all
doing 80 afterwards apoiogized, az they
bad no grounds whatever for such a
slight. This the doctor claims was in
stlgated by bis wife, and shows how
rumors of immortality have been brought
about.
Continuing, he says:
This talk about when it is claimed
Mrs. Archibald was struck by myself ls
entirely false and wronR, as there were
witnesses present who can testify just
exactly how it all occurred. Mrs. A. had
been in the habit for a good many
months pact of going into my bedroom
aud TAKING various little articles and de-
stroying them and on this occasion che
had just come from my room, where she
had torn mp some pictures and thrown
the debris on the floor and left my room
