Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1898-07-13

morning the three together made fifteen
pies in half an hour, and had them all in
the oven before breakfast and all the
bread in the pans too and didn't get up
until 5 O'Clock. They have scrubbed
paint and floors and are nearly through
their Saturdays work and it is not yet
ten o'clock.
They get on so well that the idea has Oc-
CURED to me that an assistant cook here
is not really necessary.
You know Ruth, that you have not al
way done YOU best here. You know
that you have had many warnings from
us and even from Mr.. Westeriield, and
since you went away L have ascertained
that you have neglected your duty in
spite of a very recent warning. A num-
Der of things have come to my know
ledge of which l was ignorant before, all
of which together have brought me to the
conclusion that a reduction in your sal
AIRY ought to be made. Therefore, We are
advised by the Board to reduce it 10 ten
dollars and | write to let you know of it,
because if you can obtain employment
at a bCtbcI SdidiS Sou ~ bdU
wish to do so. Perhaps Mrs. Jones will
employ you, as ] suppose she keeps a
boarding and lodging house. If you do
obtain a position there, we will pack
everything for you and send things pre-
paid. We will also see that Amy has
everything necessary to enable her to
finish school. Henry will no doubt get
work somewhere down there and it
would be pleasant for you to be near
him.
/ will enclose a recommendation which
may help you to obtain a situation Their
if you wish to try for one. We shall say
nothing about this matter to any one anG
whether you do remain there or come
back it will continue to be a secret I'M.
less you hOOse to make it known your
self. | hope to hear from you soon il
regard to our future plans. OF course i
o decide to come back after You visi
is over, you will receive your salary fol
the time you are not here just the same
that is ten dollars a month.
With best wishes, Mrs. A. NJ. Beebe.
MIR. WeStertield stated that he though
he was not consulted about writing thi
letter. He remembered talking to MI
Cutting about reducing her salary, hu
said that he did not give his consent.
1 was not consulted and hence inte
that Mr.. Cutting must nave been tn,
Board that advised the reduction to ST.
per mont h.
Mrs. Beebe testified that she did no
know whether Mr.. Westerfield agreed t,
the reduction of a or not.
In this connection | should explain
that the father of Miss Heritage wa,
killed in a railroad accident in Califor
MIA. The remains were brought to Car
SOB for burial and Miss Heritage starte,
for California the evening after the fun
eral; January 81, 1898.
1t appears in the testimony that Mis-
Hannah Thomas, some time previous t
the investigation, prepared a write
statement concerning matters compliance
of in Days charges and that this state
ment was produced at the investigation
also that questions to be asKed by Nh
Beebe (or his attorney at the investiga
ton, together with to the sam,
had been prepared at the Home.
Mr.. McGOwan asked to have thes
written questions and togethe
with Miss Thomas statement introduce
as evidence. but they were rejected b
Chairman Westerfield and their cor
tents is therefore unknown to me. ! sus
pect, however, that the month that inter
vened between Days and Miss Smith
departure from the Home and the hold
ing of the investigation, was devote
chiefly to preparing and rehearsing thes
questions and answers. The fact thu
three of their witnesses have since m I'd
affidavits to the effect that some of tn
testimony given by them at the invest.
CATION was false, confirms this ~suspicio
and reflects very unfavorably on NJ
Beebe.
Mr.. Beebe's testimony to the effect thu
Stanton was the only boy in the Hon
that he could trust is also a sad con
mentary on his management of that il
stitution.
One of these witnesses Miss Thoma!
states, in her affidavit, that she gave sue
false testimony "at the request of Mr.
Beebe and Miss Stock" She says:
was reluctant to SO testify, but Mr.
Beebe i~mportuned me for more thar OF
day and on several occasions each Ia
until she Overcame my scrurlcS ana
finally testified as she desired,' etc.
