The maid who took care of Rydz,I.skis
apaItm ents rays tlat on the day Of the
tragedy che posted IA telegram to Nr,.
Gore, who called shortly afterward. The
maid says that az the time Eydzerski was
lying in bed.
The friend who explains the circum-
stances says surmi-e L. that the telegram
announced that Rydz ,nski was i'll and was
unable TO keep an appointment and furth her
asked Mrs. Gore TO call on him. Mrs.
Gore did not suspect anything wrong and
acceded to the request. She trusted inn
plcitly III his honesty Of purpose, especially
in view of their prev, u relations
When she arrived at his rooms. Ryjz n
ski, who evidently ignored the freedom
allowed TO American women and mis-
judged Mrs. Gore. thought the time was
opporrune to attemp, liberties with her.
Thereuron, according to her friends
theory, Mrs. Gore became terror stricken
and seized a revolver which was lying
on a table with the idea Of protecting her
self. Rydzenski realized the situation and
sought to wreSt the revolver from Mrs.
Gore and in the struggle 1t was discharged,
with the result that the woman was killed.
The friend concludes her theory 10y
saying that Mrs. Gore was the victim Of
her own imprudence, but lost her life in
defence of her virtue.

up the quarrel bur was unsuccessful
Mrs. Buttner, who was formerly an in
tiruate friend Of Nellie Gore. says she was
woman of the sweetest and brightest
disposition and was incapab BILE Of any I'M
propriety. She accounts for her preseuc,
in Rydzenski's rooms by saving it was an
exhibition of tina fearless freedom and
conscious innocence Of American women
The BuitnsrG favor the theory that Mrs
Gore met her death by accident.
