ing my sisters letter in justice to me.
:.'very respectfully,
MRS" GLASS"

Richmond, May 13, 1897.
s'Lr. Andrews, Editor Press-Visitor:
Dear Sir:-I see false statement in
your paper of the 18th regarding the de-
parture of my sister, Ms. Glass. from
Raleigh. She has been at home with us
since Friday afternoon. She notified us
that she was coming. Geo. Glass lied
when he said it was unexpected to hlm
Mrs. Glass told him two weeks ago that
she would go home if he did not change
his way of living, as the people IN the
city were talking about his conduct with
other women and his own servants were
sneering and laughing about him. My
sister packed her trunks two weeks ago
and sent them to the depot, but decided
to plead with him to reform. He told
her that if she did not like his way of
living she could go home. and the sooner
the better, saying also they had better
live apart, as he did not care for her;
and then she could not see what he did.
I saw how he was treating her and tried
two years ago to get her to leave him,
and she had her trunks packed to leave
him, but he came to me and begged me to
intercede for him with her, promising
he would treat her right in the future,
but he has never been kind to her, as
can prove by others. He went out
every night, saying he was his own man
and would do as he pleased. Her home
was most unhappy one. Does 1t look
like kind and affectionate husband who
beats his wife with chair? which Glass
did a few years ago because she told
him she knew Of some of his conduct
with women.
As to the charges against her, they are
false from beginning to end. Several
of her friends down there knew she was
coming home and the reason therefor, and
advised her to do so.
As to Mr.. Hart, my sister has not seen
him since he left Raleigh. Moreover,
Glass was not kind to Mr.. Hart while
] was there a few weeks ago. He did
not. treat him well. My sister left on
Friday morning, as can be proven by
Mr.. Henry w. Miller. passenger agent
of the Southern Railway, to whom
she had telephoned on the evening before
leaving. asking for the schedule and rate
to Richmond, and by Baggage Agent
Green. Mr. Hart left Tuesday morning.
Would she have taken her son if she
intended wrong-doing? A child IL years
old and over would hardly have been
taken.
Now to let you know in regard to the
money which she drew, she only had
sixty-six dollars in Mr.. Iacy's bank. This
she drew out week before she left and
Glass was aware of it, Raleigh, her son,
had twenty dollars in Mr.. Pullen's bank.
which he drew out to pay his mother for
her bicycle.
There are other things which can be
proved on Glass which may be brought
against him later and which will make
him ashamed to show his face anywhere.
