Sunday morning globe., 1901-10-27

Saturated with lust as a graveyard Is with
rottenness. the lecherous imposter's pen
dripped obsceuity. He described IN them
the orgies that he and the deludcd girl had
participated ia together, referring to all her
limbs her "lilies" and her lovely -"
Upon Lucille's return TO her home she dis
covered that her mother had taken posses
sion Of the incriminatng letters and de-
manded them Of her On the demand be-
ing refused she at once attacked her
mother striking her several violent blows
on the head and face, and would have
seriously injured her IL several ladies in
the house had not heard the mothers
screams and rushed to rescue her from the
hands of her unnatural child. Lucille then
packed up several of her winter dresses in
a large pasteboard box, and taking II with
her, at once joined her divine paramour at
his clearinghouse, No. 1882 I2th street
n. W., kept by Mrs. N Uuermehle mem
Der Of the White Rose cult. who seemed TO
have no objection TO his feeding on Iillies"
in her house, provided that they cost her
nothing Her arrival there was soon fol-
lowed by a letter from Grumbine to Mrs.
Hunt, in which he demanded the Instant
return Of the letters to her daughter say.
in tweuty-four hours, you will be taken in
charge by an officer Of the law, " for know
your crimes and can place you in the peni-
tenuafy."
Mrs. Hunt called upou Judge r. J. Mackey
for legal advice in the matter, and laid be-
fore him Grumbines letter. That gentle
man advised her that she should either re-
turn the letters, as demanded by Grumbine.

with her minor daughter. or she should
have him arrested at once for criminal libel.
He warned her, however, that if /she had
ever been guilty Of any act or had ever been
accused of any act that could furnish a
ground or pretext for a criminal charge
against her her daughter would certainly
make that charge to save her lover, as
Grumbine would be convicted and sent to
prison, unless he could prove her guilty Of
a crime and thus justify his charge
Mrs. Hunt assured her counsel that her
whole life had been unspoted from the
world; that she had never committed an
olfeuse against the law. and ON that
assurance Grumbine was arrested and held
in one thousaud-dollar bail to answer am in
dictment for libel.
Touching the charge for which Mrs Hunt
has been arrested and held to the grand
jury but an eX-parte examination has taken
place before Judge Scott The defendant
had ten witnesses present, but the justice
would not permit them to testify The tes-
timouy ELECTED by the State became so weak
and aimsy under the masterful cross eN-
animation of Judge Mackey that Justice
Scott in binding over Mrs. Hunt in
timated that he thought the grand
jury would ignore the case The
nature of the testimony may be Inferred
when il is stated that Mrs. Fox identified
some sheets las hers by the hcmming As
this stitching or hemmiug was done by
machine and as there are hundreds of other
sheets similarly hemmgd the identification
becomes farcical and utterly worthless In
similar manner she identified some
glassware which she could not describe
without seeing the articles of course Mrs.
Fox lost her goods, at least the GLOBE be-
licvcs the lady's statement to that effect
but her identification of the articles be-
longing to Mrs Hunt is, 10 say the least
vague, indefinite and entirely worthless as
testimony In q court of justice.
Judge Mackeys brilliant cross. .eNamiua-
ton and his masterful presentation of Mrs.
Hunts case were thorough and unauswer-
able, and in properly constituted court of
justice will aCquit his client If the issues are
ever brought up, which, it is safe TO state,
will not occur, the Grumbinites' persecution
TO the contrary and notwithstanding
