'At that time we did not know what
a lovely woman Mrs. Keystone was.
and that she lived in East Orange. The
young mans mother did not tell us
anything about the marriage or the

is partly responsible for the whole
affair."

New Jersey.
Mrs. Ewing said today thata she was
certain that her daughter would come
out of the whole affair with nothing to
be ashamed of. as her bringing up was
such that she could take care of her
self.
