here. Mr.. Schiff haven't said word
to YOU about money This woman
doesn't want money. She has had
wrong done her and she wants Justice "
Mr., schiff's Letter Aroused Her.
The letter Of Mr. Schiff to which Miss
VoIinsky particularly objects was writ
ten on November %. 1909, after the in
vestigation by the committee composed
Of Leopold Stern, Samuel Sachs and
Simon Fried It was written on the
paper of the Montef1ore Home, and
signed by Mr.. Schiff as president. The
letter refused TO entertain her charges.
on MAY Is another letter was sent to
Miss volinsky by Mr.. Schiff- This one
was from the offices of Kuhn, Loeb Il
Co. and was signed "A. Newbury, Pri-
vate Secretary" II said:
"Mr. Schiff wishes me to say to you in
reply to your letter to him Of the 18th
inst. that he thinks you are your worst
enemy yourself. What you imagine to
be a plot against you is simply imagina-
ton on your part. The world is too
busy to persecute you, as you imagine,
and if you will only go about and try to
occupy your mind by supporting your
self in a proper way you will soon forget
YOUR troubles. which are Of your own
making"
Under date Of February -, 1910, Miss
Volinsky wrote Mr.. Schiff a letter, In
which she said:
Gould any one believe that men OF
wealth, men Of position, men who rep
resent the best people in the city could
stoop so low as to conspire TO defraud
woman of her hard earned money! !
They are trying to clear themselves in
YOUR eyes. but that does not alter the
fact that they are dishonest and dis
honorable. Have they no respect for
themselves? What are men who are
supposed TO interest themselves in char
liable work. but who assemble TO give to
the poor with one hand and at the same
time rob them wifi the other? Mere
hypocrites is speaking charitably Of
them in my estimation"
DR.. Alexander Strong. of No. 261 West
sd street, said last night that he had
been Miss Volinsky's physician for the
last five or six years. and in that time
he had never seen anything about her
that indicated any mental alteration
Il first began TO treat her five or six
years ago." he said. but for the last
two years she has not been in need of
treatment Of any kind I treated her
for a nervous difficulty. From the his
tory she gave me ! thought she might
have epilepsy. but from my experience
with her ] think her trouble was more
akin to hysteria.
L have never seen her in any fit or
convuIsion. About two years ago saw
her a few days after she had had a So
called attack Of epilepsy. She had evil

vulsion that might be called epileptOtd
