Mrs Christine Perry, now resident oi
liaitlcbofo, irom room IA Mn. Car
ruthcrs's house IN which the girl wa,
briug detained. Much oi the testimony
hinged on letter which was thrown
from window in Mn. Carruthcn'
house by Miss Perry and picked up by
a young son Of \. l.. Field. The letter
! follows:
Dear Mrs. Field or Cady:
| am in dreadful trouble here. DO you
think you could get ilrs. Cady and some
Of the Baptist church people 10 help me!
| Mr.. Wheeler and Mr.. Spring aud 9th
cts would ! am sure. They would have

her and she sent Thompson 10 say that
there was a wedding at her house last
night and ! must stay in the house for
two days, 50 n not 20 come up there
again and annoy them while the wedding
was going ON or ever again. And then
after two days ! must pack up my things
and go away. and ii didn't they would
have me taken 10 Brattleboro. You.
Mrs. Cady, know the whole trouble aud
just what an annoyance Mn. Burnside
was to me. last year and has been ever
since, because of the terrible. perfectly
unwarranted and provoked, things she
did, and also that Mrs. Burnside wrote
to my sister after she done >those terrible
things and tried to make out she had
not done anything but some people here
were too smart for her, and wrote my
sister | was simply i'll. 80 my sister did |
not come. Now Mrs. Burnside is doing |
the same thing again, only she has gone /
to Policeman Thompson and DIR. Allbee |
and made complaint, just because |
called at her door.
Very hastily,
Christine Perry. |
p. s.. Neither Thompson or DIR. Allbee
saw me, TO examine me to see II | an
swered to Mrs. Burnside's description of
me. But she told them | annoyed her
Gust told them 80 to be mean. and take
her revenge and to shift the blame onto
mel and that / ought to 90 to Brattle
boro so she wouldn't be annoyed. And
hey took the words OF my acknowledged
enemy mot an impartial judge and SIM
ply left word that | must stay in the
house for two days, and then pack up
NY things and 90. or they w'd take me
% Brattleboro. And when they gave me
he liberty to go alone, they declared me
o be just the opposite TO what they
we're Just representing me to be. They
declared ! could go out and not run up
o Mrs. B's and not annoy her. And
Why should ! then be shut in mere or
lave to go to b.? My sisters address is
'aXton Hospital, Utica, \. Y.
