IT left Hope, where 1 hive, early last
honda morning. I went to Blairs-
town and there met Miss Vliet. We
told her parents that we were going to
Newark to do some shopping.
'NNe took a rain leaving there at 10
o'clock. When we got in the train Miss
Vliet complained of feeling badly. l
therefore bought two parlor car seats.
We had Intended meeting my friends.
Daniel Dodge and his wife. Mr.. Dodge
knew my fiancee, bud. his wife did not.
Girl Complained Continually.
Mamie. complained continually on
the way to Newark that she was feel
ing badly. l never dreamed at the time
what was the matter.
when we caches Newar we were
met by Mrs. Dodge. Her husband had
been unable to leave New Brunswick
because of a business engagement.
Mrs. Dodge asked what was the
matter, and Mamie said that she was
feeling badly and wanted to go to some
quiet house. She said she did not want
to go to my sisters home at 40 WASH
ington avenue.
No, / don't want to go there,
Mamie said to me. Please take me to
some house, where ] can stay, I feel
that ! am going to be very ILL.,
Mrs. Dodge then told me that she
knew DIR. Glatzmayer and that she
would take Mamie to his office. They
left me at the corner of Market and
Broad streets. l waited there In a drug
store for over one hour. Then Mrs.

Mamie was at DIR. ~GlatZmayer's office,
at 104 Thirteenth avenue
II asked Mrs. Dodge if Mamie was
very Ill and she told me that the doc
tor thought she ought to be taken to a
hospital Immediately. We went to his
office and found Jamie there, very palC
and crying.
when I told her that she must go
to a hospital she burst into tears and
said that she would not. She said that
she must be cared for
"She begged so hard that DIR. Glatz-
mayer finally told us hat he knew of a
Mrs. Cornella zahn. living at Al Chad
wick avenue. where we could take the
girl. He said that she was a very re-
spectacle woman, and hat Mamie
would be well taken care of. Mrs.
Dodge then remembered hat she knew
Mrs. Zahn and that she a been at
her home before.
Dying Girl Walked Part Way.
1--WE then tool Mamie out. 1t is not
true that we had a carriage. We rode
part of the way in a trolley a and
walked the rest. When we arrived at
Mrs. Zahn's home Mamie was worse,
and asked to be put to bed at once.
THAT night DR.. G~latzmayer came to
the house, saw Miss Vliet and neither
