demanded $1,000 from F. A. Leonard, a
wealthy retired merchant and land
owner of Collins. while several Wit
nesses had listened to their threats
through the transom.
The trap was sprung, MIR. Leonard
claims only after the pair had sue
ceeded in bleeding him for $l,500. and
though some OF the shrewdest methods
were employed to capture Mir. and Mrs
Oldham 1t developed in the climax of
the romantic affair that the two people
vances.
In the school days OF Lencard he
knew a. charming girl by the name
of Bessie Stevens. In fact they might
have been termed sweethearts OF child
hood days. Though many years have
passed the woman yet retains her nat
ural grace. beauty of form and en-
quisite face But as time went by they
drifted apart and Leonard was married
The young woman came to Dies Moines

him that he would hold the note only
as security until he could go to the
