she left her boarding place kept by Ms.
Ellen Williams at 242 West Thirty fourth
street. she wrote the following upon a
magazine cover, so that Mrs. Williams
could forward letters to her:
Charlotte Mcdonald, G. D., Boston,
Mass"
Comparing this writing with that in the
Dear Bessie and other letters received
by Mrs. Whitruore's relatives while ner
body lay in the Harrison Morgue 1t is said
that they are very much alike This leads
to the belief that possibly she wrote the
letters for Whitmorc.
Mrs. Williams says that the Dickinson
woman could nave had no active part in
the murder of Mrs. Whitmore for the rea-
son that she was in Mrs. Williams's house
all of Christmas night. But Mrs. Williams
has apparently mad conflicting state
ments. She is now quoted as saying that
Georgia did not receive the much-discussed
bracelet from Whitmore the morning after
Christmas, but had 1t five days before
Christmas. It was apparently new. Mrs.
Williams said, and she declared that
Georgia did not say anything about it ever
having belonged to Mrs. Whitmore, al
though she admitted having received it
from Whitmore.
Mrs. Williams said the letter describing
a bracelet, supposed to be the one given
to George by Whitmore, was written last
July to Dickinson by a girl named Della
from Albany. While Della was living with
Mrs. Sage, with whom formerly the Dick
ensons lived, she was robbed of a bracelet
and $50, and a fortune teller told her that
1t was stolen by one of the other boarders.
She wrote this to Dickinson in the belief,
apparently, that he could use it to get her
jewelry and money back.
Another thing which has been printed
and is not true said Mrs. Williams, lis
that George was waiting for some message
all OF Christmas night and received one in
the shape of a package early the next
morning. At any rate, she did not say
anything to me about expecting any mes
sage. The bracelet she had | tried on that
Christmas night. 1t was plain Roman
gold. square on top and had four stones
in il. She told me she never was in the
HaymarSet but once"
The one touch of romano disclosed in
the mass of s%ordidness in the case is that
the friendship of Dickinson and George
grew out of the fact that when Dickinson
once was dangerously i'll George saved
his life by devoted and capable nursing.
Ever since Dickinson has been devoted to
Georgia, in spite of her w-dywardness. lie
had money, and both Mrs. Williams and
Mrs. Sage warned her that he was s''too
good a man to lose" by her infatlAtion
Tor Wh1tmore. When she fed on Monday
Dickinson took George 10 the Fall Rivei
boat. Until George met Whitmore lasi
summer she and Dickinson got along wei
together, The girl named Della introduced
Whitmorc to George.
Mrs; Williams said that George seemeC
terribly frightened when she read of Mrs
Whitmore's murder. {
