Mrs. Williams Coming Home.
II then Informed him that Mrs. Will
liams had told me to tell him that she in
tended to return Saturday and would
bring the three children with her. Yes
terday morning I again spoke to him.
1T will be the easiest thing in the world
to prove that Williams was in Baltimore
and Long Green on Wednesday and in
Long Green Thursday morning. So
that it is absolutely ridiculous that he
could have been in Atlantic City.
He knows and know the rumors and
insinuations that have crept forth about
Roberts unfortunate shooting. Mr.. Will
liams would have gone to Atlantic City
this morning save that We received word
from Mrs. Williams that she intended re-
turning to Baltimore some time today.
She may arrive about 3:3O, we are not
sure as TO the time.
Mr. Williams would also like to have
corrected the report that he stated last
night that he believed Mrs. Williams was
in Boston He was nervous, excited, and
while he may have said that. still he
knew that Mrs. Williams was in Atlantic
City and not in Boston
