SANTA ANA, Nov. A.-Mrs. Herbert
Carter, formerly wife of one of the mem
bers of the Hancock gang of burglars,
thinks that she is a much-abused person
by the reports published concerning her,
connecting her with the gang, and states
that she is entirely innocent of any wrong
doing herself and was not an accomplice
of the others guilt. She is now living apart
from her husband, having left him as soon
as she learned of his character and mean
ness, and is now supporting herself by keep
ing house for family near Garden Grove
She is not bad looking woman and seems
to feel keenly the disgrace cast upon her by
the published reports of her husbands mis-
doings. She states that she does not know
of Carter's whereabouts and has not heard
from him for some time. OF her acquain-
tance and friendship with Mrs. Gross and
Hancock she does not care to say much,
but admits knowing them on account OF
having for some time been their neighbor
in III Modena and later keeping them as
dodgers in the house in Riverside. There
was, however, never any friendship be-
tween herself and Mrs. Gross, she says.
Notwithstanding Mrs. Gross assertion to
the contrary
