of Mrs Pulitzer in New York a
couple Of years ago.
when we were living in Butte,
Montana, just a short time after we
were married, a woman came between
u.s." Mrs Young continued. MY hus-
band fell in love with her. I got him
to come to New York, feeling sure
that he would succeed here, and then
after we got here ii was Mrs. Nor
gan. He is bright man and | felt
sure that he would be at the top in
New York and for this end l have
struggled and worked ever since
married him.
II used to be his stenographer in
Butte. That was four years ago. At
that time he married me and he can
never say that l have been anything
but good true wife to him.
II am not an insane woman, but 1t
has only been my will power that
has kept me from losing my mind.
There is no mental suffering on earth
compared to the suspense and uncer-
tainty of Il wife who fears that the
through all his struggles is unfaithful
to her. O
Il am not afraid of any trial that
| may have to go through. l am the
injured one. The strange thing about
1t all is that how any man, much less
my husband, would be attracted to
Mrs. Morgan. She is not pretty and
she looks sickly
Il introduced Mrs. Morgan to my
husband. My action was not that of
an insanely jealous woman who shot
without cause.
II met Mrs. Morgan last winter
after had left my husband. At that
time we had trouble about the Butte
woman, ana | left him ana went to
the Martha Washington to board. The
telephone girl there introduced me to
Mrs Morgan. My heart went out to
her on account of her marital trou-
BILE. My husband had not been any
too kind to me in the past, and |
could sympathiZe with her. So when
Mr.. Young ana | made up little later
| introduced her to him and begged
him to give her work, and she repaid
me by making n breach that can never
be hrideed.
II am sorry shot her, but no one
knows the agony have suffered for
the past IS months
