| IT was worded in a manner that did not
| suit him, and he said it was contempt
| ible
He said he was willing to give an
! ordinary receipt, but l told him l must
return the ring TO Mrs. Starring or this
signed receipt. Mrs. Starring told me
| he was a regular daredevil, and ad-
vised me to take a revolver with me, as
| he might threaten 10 shoot me. / will
admit it was a dirty job for me to COM
| pei this young man TO sign that kind Of
a receipt, as he claimed he only loaned
her the ring, when she told me he gave
| it to her as an engagement ring. l
! delivered the ring, however, and did
not lose my life, and did not find the
young man bad, as she stated.
I did not know much about Mrs.
| Starring and believed those two mat
| ters. as above stated; also twenty other
similar affairs. But after I read the
! Mirror Of May IS I got my eyes opened
This woman is always getting some
one into trouble. She has had a great
many servants since 1 became ac-
| quainted with her, in the last seven
! months, and all were discharged for
! some reason or other.
Il really don't think Mrs. Starring, IN
/ the first place, intended TO get me into
| any trouble over the little excitement
and notoriety she wished to obtain. A
| few articles in the newspapers 10 the
! effect that she had lost $4,000 worth
/ of diamonds, or had that amount, were
| about all she desired. AS the article
! in the society paper states, she loves
notCriety-of course of a mild nature
People who are on the outside tell
me that she is getting really more no
toriety than she expected. She stated
to the friend of mine who had a talk
with her that she would never be able
to live down this disgrace.
Here is one case, and all can judge
! for themselves who read if it was
| anything more than newspaper no
toriety that she wanted. The fact of
her furnishing the article to the New
York Journal which had a full front
sheet on the matter also furnished two
pictures of the interior of her house,
and to complete the outfit, also fur
nished her own picture, all of which
was put in the Journal Of May IA,
she also paid something like 800
two or three months ago to have pic
lures and an article put in a society
paper here in Washington.
she also states she intends to put
this whole affair into printed book
form That il will be interesting. I
think if | have a column in some news
paper at my disposal / can give her for
her book a great many chapters she
is apt to overlook, and she would not
want it in printed form unless it was
full and complete, l am quite sure.
! a police official said: Oh, this man
! did it, Cmeaning l took the jewels).
| He even proposed TO this woman.
don't deny | proposed, and even was
| big fool enough TO proceed to get a
divorce. But | was not foolish enough
/ to go South with her for the winter, or
| to take a room in her house which she
! invites me 70 do in her letters. She
/ states now to people on the outside she
never intended To marry. She v i'll note
| by this article that l have also changed
my mind, in a very radical manner
about some things.
Il do not want TO be too hard on
/ Mrs Starring at this writing, and give
/ too many items of her doings, as people
who do not understand the case may
/ say, Why does he act unGentlemanly
