her name is supposed to be, has at
Tended every church meeting the pres.
ident has since his arrival here in
July. She has climbed Sycamore Hill
on foot several times, only to be turn
ed away by the secret service men.
She presented helself early at the
church and took a seat behind the
pew usually occupied by the president
and his family. When requested to
relinquish this seat she declined, and
she was forcibly removed to the rear
|of the church, and Miss Esac says her
gown was torn in so doing. For this
act she later applied for warrant for
the arrest of Usher Duffy, but was re-
fused. In the rear of the church Miss
Esac refused to sit down. A secret
service agent stood beside her, and
during the service she made no less
than dozen attempts to get past him.
As the president was leaving the
church the secret service men sur
rounded Miss Esac, but she shouted,
"Mr. President, Mr.. President, Presi-
lent Roosevelt, won't you speak to me
a moment?"
The president turned his head as he
passed. but he did not pause. Miss
Esac says her watch chain was broken
in this scrimmage and her watch fell
to the floor. The president was &C.
companied by Mrs. Roosevelt and
Quentin and Representative and Mrs.
Longworth.
Miss Esac has told those acquaintan-
ces she has formed here that she was
to have been married in three weeks
after Miss Roosevelt became Mrs
Longworth; that she was to have mar
ried high government official. When
the presidents carriage had departed
Miss Esac was allowed to go. It was
then she sought warrant for Duffy.
She says she will stay in Oyster Bay
until she accomplishes her purpose.
