Charles Bennington Says That He Had
No Affinity.

Charles Bevington. who has been
accused of deserving his wife Mrs.
Eliza D. Bevington, 1107 Western ave
nue., for an affinity, a German girl
named Mary Novelties. made the fol-
lowing statement to State Journal
reporter this afternoon:
1.-The story about me is false in
many respects In the first place I
am only so years old-the newspaper
accuse me of being 70. In the second
place have had no undue familiarity
with the girl whom we have had in our
household ever since we lived In Can
ada four years ago. I took her as an
orphan girl at that time and have
treated her with respect and that is
all ever since. l have given no more
attention to her than I would give to
any other hired girl under the circum-
stances. The restraining order issued
by the court was modified and the
girl and myself were allowed to re-
main at home. There were no spec
ific facts in the petition alleging that
had improper doings with the girl.
My wife was suspicious and she took
this course of investigation"

missed him hitherto. and feared some
mischance had befallen. To my de-

from the top: and as we began to
sing down he darted to the floor in
