tudany to-day
MY relations With M. liIlis have been
such that nobndy but Que insane could
have found fault with them
II u untrue that I met Mr. Lillis ire
1urrtly at the Hotel Baltimore. I dineoi
with him frequently At my home and at
the country club. hut nowhere else. A.
To meeting him az "a road house or being
at on" with him. that ~ absolutely false.
know 81 no such places never heard
ot such place or places until I read what !
w..s sid about me in the newspapers.
I think my husha nd's attack upon Mr. 1
I.illiS WIS cowardiy. Surely 10 there was |
Justification for an attack at all. 10 would /
have been decent for hun to settle the \
the tier with Mr. Lillis as man to msn and \
not to call in his servants 10 assist him.
Rut say there was nothing in my rels tions /
with Mr.. I.llis 20 justify in the slightest |
his attack
The most cowardIy ana infamous
thing % all was when the officer found
him. To save himself he sacrificed his /
wife and children by the infamous and /
falls" charge He has ruined my family.
am thankful that have many friends
here who are confident that the hase
'ns'nua TORS made against me are I'M
true r~k merely 10 be let alone With
INV sorrows

mcral man and every one always speaks
Mrs Cudahy still bore the mark 81
the assault her husband made upon her
after the fight With Liliis was over.
You asked Mr.. Lillis IN after the ride
saturday, didn't you. Mrs. Cudahy1 a
visitor asked her
Yes. He did not want to come IN
hut I insisted that he come in for a few
moments and ne finally conssnted.-
Were YOU having tea. or just what
wore you doing when Mr.. Cudahy camey-
was the next question
NO. we were not having tea: just
sitting On the divan talking with the
lights burning and the house all lighted
up The chauffeur came in with Mr..
fe-t and neither Mr.. LiliS nor heard
them come IN
And that chauffeur the coward. the
hSnd, on he was horrible. I guess Mr.
Tillis alone He knew Mr. Lillis was too
strong for him.
TO think that a man % Mr. CISciahy q
StsndinE should take into his confidence
and make a boon companion ~ q chauf-
fe'Ir. and such chauffeur he 10. ! never
thought IL po~sible for a human being
to act the iiend inCaTnate in real life as !
did that man. He took especial delight ,
Ia Jerking the -tranglink cord around
Mr.. I.illia neck and actually dragged !
were never severed until Dr. Ayres came.
