who were after her for Information about Mrs.
Rae. at that time her employer. The case is
on before Civil Justice Martin In the Munich
pal Court on First street. and some
curious testimony has been given by
the witnesses examined. Prom the evil
dence so far II appears that Miss Head
was at one time connected with a concern
known rs the Fairfield Flower Company. which
had offices In Philadelphia. The officers Of
this concern were all indicted In Portland. Me-.
for using tho mails for fraudulent purposes.
IL IL alleged that work at home 10 making
artificial flowers was promised to women who
would forward 50 to the company. Once the
company got the deposit they ignored the ap-
plicant for work who had sent IT, Miss Head
was indicted according to testimony given In
the present action by Post ONCE Inspector
King OF Portland. but escaped prosecution by
turning states evidence.
Post ONCE authorities were after the Helen
Mako Company. because they had informa-
tion that certain former officers OF the Fairfield
Flower Company were connected with the con-
corn. Up to the present time no evidence to
show that the Helen Mako Company has con-
Quoted anything but a 10 gitimate business has
been adduced. and II has not been shown that
any member OF the concern was ever connected
with the Flower Com pany.
