crime for which the newspapers engaged
in the work of exploiting the Thaw case

Major Fremont denied portions of the
charges alleging misrepresentation in

give him sufficient money to cancel
his debts. He believed her when she
told him that, and he still believes
that she will do SO, he said. Major
Fremont said the San Francisco prop
