 Actions of Mary Holden

ALAMEDA, Dec. 3O.-Mrs. A. B. An drews, who was reported in this morn ing's Call as having received a letter re- vealing the whereabouts of her sister, Mrs. Mary Holden, who disappeared from here last August, consented to-day to make a statement for publication. Mrs. Andrews said:
 My sister left California immediately after she disappeared from Alameda and she has been outside of the State ever since. I am not at liberty to say where she is at present. We have heard from her through friends, who are looking out for her welfare. The. poor woman, dis tempt to take her life, as she said she would in the note she left, but fortu- nately she was prevented from carrying out her intention by friends who diScov- cred her purpose, and they have been car ing for her ever since.
 "There have been all kinds of rumors af1oat about the tangle in which she left Thomas Smiths affairs. This has been greatly overrated. She had been led to make ventures in the stock market and lost her money. She borrowed more, and
 MT Smith indorsed some of her notes. Besides the holders of the notes other creditors of my sister have asked MT. Smith to pay their claims on the ground | that they trusted her because she was his bookkeeper."
 These other creditors made efforts to- | day to learn the present address of Mrs. 1 Holden for the purpose of resorting to
 the law to have her brought back to Ala | meda.
 | While Mrs. Andrews, her sister, states | she is not in the State and that no direct ] communication has been had with her | other members of the family tell an en- l tirely different story to the effect that the 1 return to Alameda if she were not afraid
 of the action her creditors might take.
