VIND|CATION
OF MRS. |SEOOR

Although two years have passed,
readers OF the Examiner Will remem-
Der the death by suicide of Mr.. lsedor.
a clothing merchant of this city, and
the subsequent dcplorable scandal In
yolving the decedent's w,fe.
IL was rumorcd at the time that
Mrs. Isedor had driven her husband
from the home a short time previous
to his death. The story to the detri-
ment OF Mrs. Isedor gained consider
able circulation. but the woman made
no attempt to refute 1t. preferrinS
rather to bear the disgrace until such
time as the truth OF her innocence
would make itself known other than
from her own tongue Now she has
decided 10 tell the public her side of
the story, and she has sent a COM
munication to the Examiner, stating
that she was not the one TO blame for
the affair referred TO in the rumors.
Part of her vind.cation reads; Il
was very much wronged by the i'm
preston that I drove my husband
from our home shortly before his
death. My husband was prosecuted
by son of citizen OF whom Mir.
Isedor had borrowed money under
false pretenses. My husband would
have been prosecuted by many more
people had he not committed suicide.
When the city attorney called at our
home to serve papers on my husband
he was not at home, and the papers
were given 10 me. Late thai evening
whom | gave the papers To my hus-
band and asked him how much money
he owed, he refused 10 tell me. re-
plying that 1t was none Of my bust
ness. | entreated him to tell me ard
offered TO mortgage my home TO set
tie his debts. He told me that he
would pay off every cent that he
owed and he did so by committing
suicide For his sake bore the dis
grace which the many false rumors
caused, but at this late date | hope
this explanation viii be sufficient to
convince my friends that II was
through no fault OF ill-treatment that
Mr.. lsedor took his life"
