THREATENS HER TRADUcERs
SAYS SHE IS A TARGET FOR HIS ENEMIES.
Will Take the Matter Into Court
 ... to Vindicate the Good Name .-... +-. of His Sister-in- ~ .:: Law.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WATSONVILLE, Aug. 2.-The artlcle In Mondays Call which connected MISS Ella Royse, late matron of the Agnews Insane Asylum. with the Inguglia dl- vorce case, has attracted great interest in this city, where Miss Royse was born and has spent most of her life. The people of this city and valley do not believe the statements set forth by Mrs. Inguglia, and believe they have been inspired by the opponents of Man ager White of Agnews Asylum, who also resides here, and Is q brother-in- law of Miss Royse. The people of this valley believe that the unprincipled and disreputable opponents of MT. White on the Agnews Board of Managers are cowardly striking at him through the fair name of his sisterin-law. Miss R0yse and Edward White are most highly respected in this section. of Cali fornja, and nothing their enemies can do will lower them in the esteem or their friends.
 In an interview to-day Mir. White had the following to say in connection with the matter:
 = Tn. behalf of my sister-in-law, Miss Royse, l desire to say that she is in no napner connected with Inguglia or his alleged scandalous conduct, and the allegation made by Mrs. Inguglia is a are+faced islander, originating, no .d1uht,. with certain people whose ill w8i, Miss .Royse has incurred in con neetion with the late investigation at .Agnews. These matters will, however, be fully. investigated in court, and those who are now attempting to blacken the .repn5 atioh of a respectable young lady will be punished as they deserve. ~ Miss ROyse was not discharged as 'nafroig. from Agnews for improper con- duct as the. article states, but resigned her position last May of her own ac- cord. These facts just stated in con hectfon with Miss Royse I am prepared to and wifi substantiate"
