GOSSIPS TOLD UNTRUTHS
ABOUT MRS. HEAlEY.
Story Printed in The Evening World
Did Bronx Matron an
Injustice.

''JeShNs
In a report OF a proceeding in Harlem
Police Court on Thursday, The Even
ing World was made to say. quoting a
woman VINO had been brought to court
In answer to a summons. that the nus
band Of Mrs. May Healey had left her
thirty-four times" Other statements
were attributed to the defendant in the
case, relating to Mrs. Healey, all of
which have been found. upon investi-
cation, to have no foundation.
Mrs. Healey was May O'Bren before
she was married two years ago, She
In the daughter of Daniel O'Brten of
No. 2093 Lexington avenue. was born In
Harlem. and has hundreds OF friends.
With her husband and her little baby
she lives in a cozy home In the Bronx.
On account of illness Mrs. Healey went
70 her mothers home with her husband
and little one three weeks ago. Reports
reached her OF gossip ~retailed by a wom-
an living IN the same house and, acting
upon the advice of Jacob Bachra oh,
counsellor at law. OF No. 1857 East One
Hundred and Twenty-first street, she
went 10 Harlem Police Court and got a
for Mrs, Elizabeth Miller,
II was reported, in connection with the
court proce edings. that Mr.. Miller had
emptied a pail Of garbage owe the head
OF Mrs. Healey. There was no such an
occurrence. irresponsible gossip exagger-
ated the happening beyond the boun-
DIARIES OF truth.
There is no happier young couple in
the Bronx than Mrs. May Healey and
her husband, The Evening World trusts
that all their friends will appreciate
that Mrs. Healey was unwittingly made
the victim OF an injustice and tha this
statement Is made for the purpose of
setting her and her husband right before
the public.
