Don't you think ii is enough to send
any woman out of her head to see her
husband absolutely lavshing money IN

child were in actual want?
Il am not insane. l may have been IRA

suit of my sufferings and bad treatment at
the hands of my husband, and not the
symptoms of any settled mental disease"

life. The money she obtained from my
husband she has not spent on herself 1t
has been her pose to dress and live plainly
She gave the money to that man Duy, vii

She came up to me one day when l was
reading my prayer book and told me she

taught a Sunday school class-and that she
was going to be a good girl again. She
told me her life story, and although she
left out names. 1t tallies exactly with the
history of Isabel Morgan Perkins.
She said she was going to Washington
ana embrace the Roman Catholic faith, and
l understood she did so, but as I did not
see her afterward I cannot be certain. She
seemed to me sincerely repentant and /
prayed earnestly that she might see the
light and follow it."
