Statement BY Dr.. Lawrence.

Russell, Ia, Nov. IA, 1908.
Editor Courier:
In your issue of November Z, under
the sensational heading Truly Love
is Blind" You do me great injustice.
The paragraph relating to Miss Dix
on as a lovable quiet and attentive
mother to her little brothers is very
true, and that is the only truthful
statement in it. | never was in Dix
ons house, l never made love to the
girl nor in any way associated with
her | never correspondent with her.
I am not so nor 81 but H.
never told any one that Joe Dixon
sent me for the girl did not come
here from Kansas but from Cedar
Rapids. have not been threatened
with prosecution for abduction, Meth
er did the girl enter protest against
it. The facts are that l have done
much, very much for Dixon's half
starved and worse clad little children
and went for Miss Dixon at her earn
est request 1t was simply an act of
charity and mercy, that is all.
Respectfully,
G.. T.. Lawrence.
