Cudahy," Declares Gen. COTin'
"Because He was Net Man, and
She Was soon DIsiIIusiOned-She
VIII Not Go Into Courts.

Kansas city. March ST am heart
broken more for what has been said about
this thing than for anything that has hap
pened." said Mrs Jack Cudahy to-day.
..Nv relations with Mr.. I.illis have been
such that nobody but one insane could
have found fault with them.
1T is untrue that l met Mr.. Idllis fire.
ouently at the Hotel Baltimore. I dined
with him frequently at my home and at
the Country Club. but nowhere else. AS
10 meeting him at a roadhouse or being
at one with him. that is absolutely false
] know of no such plaees-neyer heard OF
no such places-never heard OF such a
place or places until I read what was
said about me in the newspapers.
II think my husbands attack upon Mr.
Lillis cOWardly. Surely if there was justi-
flcation for an attack at all it would have
been decent for him to settle the mat
ter with Mr.. Lillis as man 10 man and
not TO call in his servant to assist him.
But I say there was nothing in my re-
lations with Mr.. Lills to justify in the
slightest his attack.
Gives Vent to Wrath.
The most cowardly and Infamous thing
OF all was when the officer found him.
To save himself he sacrificed his wife
and children by the infamous and false
charge. He has ruined my family
Il am thankful that 1 have many
friends here who are confident that the
base insinuations made against me are
untrue. ask merely TO be let alone with
my sorrows.
7 consider il an honor to be admired
so sincerely in every way by a man like
Mr. Liilis. He is not a drunkard. nor a
gambler, and is a member of one Of the
best families in the country. He is
clean. upright. moral man. and every one
always speaks highly of him"
You asked Mr. Lillis in after the ride
Saturday. didn't you?" was asked.
Yes. He did not want 10 come in but
I insisted that he come in for few mo-
ments. and he finally consented
Were you having tea or just what
were you doing when Mr.. Cudahy Gamer"
Sitting Together ON Divan.
no. we were not having tea. Just
sitting on divan talking with the lights
burning, and the house all lighted up.
The chauffeur came IN with Mr.. Cudahy.
They were in their stocking feet. and
neither Mr.. Lillis nor l heard them come
in. And that chauffeur, the coward. the
fend. he was horrible. guess Mr.. Cudahy
was afraid 10 try 10 handle Mr.. Lillis
alone. He knew Air. Lillis was too strong
for him. To think that man Of Mr.
Cudahy's standing should take into his
confidence and make a boon companion
fs1ff If oFafTfFassr satoh O. al,o
he is. I never thought it possible for
human being TO act the fend in real life
as did that man. He took especial dek
light in Jerking the strangling cord around
Mr.. Lillls' neck, and actually dragged the
man about the room. The cords were
never severed until DR. Ayres came"
According to a statement made by Gen.
Gown, Mrs. Cudahy's father, this even
ing. Mrs. Cudahy will remain in Kansas
City and devote her life TO the rearing
and education OF her children She will
never see Mr.. Cudahy again, although
she viii not enter the courts TO secure
a legal separation.
That she will 60 on the stage is a
rumor without foundation" Gen. Gown
said. Il know, as do all her friends.
that she is greatly talented along that
line but she will devote her life TO the
little ones.
POurs Hatred Upon Cudahy.
II never liked Jack Cudahy, and I did
all in my power to prevent her mar
rage, but it was useless. She had not
been married forty-eight hours before
she began to be disillusioned. I despise
the man who called her wife, and the
remark ne made on that terrible night
