Case Stirs Hartford.

Case Stirs Hartford.
Prudy Ford, who drowned herself
at Hartford, KY, because of a charge
made against her that she had stolen
property and money from her room
mate. was unjustly accused. The
watch and clothing she was supposed
to have taken were found later, as
well as $40 that was missing with
them. They were recovered by the
woman with whom she boarded and
who, 1t now also appears, was really
responsible for the indignity heaped
upon the young schoolgirl.
A letter of Miss Ford to her sweet
heart told the mental anguish of
which she was the victim. 1t said in
part: Il will end my life rather than
have false charge brought against
me. | am innocent, as God is my
Judge. l have been loyal girl since
entered school and have been true
to my maker and to myself. die with
this sentiment ringing in my ears.
God is merciful and just. Death is
sweet at this hour and ON such occa-
sions. PRUD."
