WOMAN GIVES HER $500

MISS Smith explained yesterday that
a woman friend. who was once patient
IN Doctor Burke's sanatorium visited
her in Berkeley and asked her to write
letter generating Doctor Burke of
responsibility both for the child and
the dynamiting. This she refused. to
do, but later she said when the same
woman handed her $500 which was to
be hers if she went to Japan. she &C
cepted the money and sailed on the
China. Before leaving this woman
came to her, she said, with some
papers to which she asked Miss Smith
to place her signature. In addition to
the $500 was the promise of more
money to be sent at regular intervals
at long as she remained out of the
United States. The papers, the woman
explained, were simply notices to the
japanese banks identifying her as the
woman to whom regular payments
We're to be made. Believing this, Miss
Smith signed the papers, she said. She
now believes that she really signed
the letters that were subsequently re-
ceived, one by Doctor Burke and one
by District Attorney Lea.
Il am sure" she said, that I was
tricked. This woman was forever try
ing to get me to write a letter ex-
onerating Doctor Burke. I steadily
refused and finally they gave up trying
to make me sign anything. After a
little while this woman. whom I
thought to be friend of mine, gave
me the $500 which she said came out
of her own pocket. 1t was then that

Miss Smith and her baby, who bears
the name of Willard as a courtesy to
