After the girl had been placed in the
industrial school at Ogden, Anderson
made frequent efforts 10 see her. In
speaking OF the matter this afternoon,
DR.. Z. G. Gowans, superintendent OF tne
school. says that he vas permitted 10
see her only once. and then in the pres
ence of the matron. This visit was
allowed by DIR. Gowans when Anderson
explained that he had brought suit against
Jesse Knight and as the girl was one
of the principal witnesses he desired to
interview her as attorney and witness.
DR.. Gowans says that the girl has been
given special musical instruction at the
school, which is paid for by Anderson,
Frequent attempts 10 communicate with
Anderson by letter have been made by
the girl, but the missives were always In
tercepted by the school authorities, as
we'll as those letters mailed to her by

From the statement made by the girl S

decided to have nothing more 10 do with
Anderson and will be the star witness for
the prosecution when his trial begins.
Mrs. Lamaster was emphatic In the state
ment that there would be no more music
lessons taken by her daughter at An

of any kind in any Indian contract
other than the interest I have for

No personal interest, l mean.
''The story, so far as my name is
concerned, is without any foundation
whatever. If any person has said /
have had any personal interest in this
or any other Indian contract he has
stated what was not true"
Sherman further said he met Ha-
mon once, four years ago, on a po-
litical matter, and had not seen him
since. He thought that if his name
had been mentioned in connection
with the Indian deal the manly thing
for Gore would have been to have in
formed him of the matter.
