toned to report to the club forthwith

Now, that statement is absurd on the face

Yes, 1t is true that W. F. Whitworth
OF 1913 Leavenworth street identified Mrs.
Davidson in the City Prison yesterday
morning as the woman who was arrested
in Lynn, Mass. She was then keeping
music-store He does not remember being
at her trial, but he distinctly remembers
her arrest, as Lynn is not a large place and

deny now that she was the woman"
Mrs. Gray, who conducts the house at

had rooms, advances the startling theory
that her tenant has met with foul play.
She thinks Mrs Tunnel a good Christian
woman, who could not under any circum-
stances be induced to make a false state

other features connected with the case, are
