battles of life alone and that she was
hearted father. Her father she declar-
ed. lives at 712 Waco avenue in this
city. The residence of her parents,
who are both living. is at 1712 North
W AGO avenue. They are not million
aires but they are said to have been
very kind to Eula when she was at
home.
Planned to Take Action.
Topeka authorities who are giving
the Wilson girl the best of care, were
preparing to place her in a private
ramlly and We're planning to take some
actlon against her supposedly hard
hearted father. The authorities wrote
TO the Sedgwick Home in Wichita for
information concerning the girls faith
er. The letter described the girls con-
d1tion and told how she pleaded for
protection. The Sedgwick Home auth

on discovering that no Anderson lived
on North Waco avenue and that no
Anderson with the initials wv e.
lives in Wichita. They notified the
Topeka authorities and M. w. Woods
went to Topeka to call on the girl and
if possible identify her.
The girls baggage was examined.
Her trunk contained, among other
things, love letters from two Wichita
married men and a Fort Scott man.
The names are withheld. A Bible was
found bearing on the fly-leaf the name
Eula Wilson.
First Denied Acquaintance.
Mr.. Woods went to see the girl at the
hospital Eula when a child was in
Mr.. Woods Sunday school class He
called her by name as he entered the
room where she lay i'll. She looked up
with an innocent expression and calm
ly informed him that she knew him

knowledge of him, each time with no
flush or change of expression. Not un-
til after a cross-examination did she
confess her identity. Mr.. Wood says
the girl is exceedingly clever at de-
ceiving. Her efforts at hysteria were
perfect and deceived all but a few of
the nurses.
One of the nurses told Mr. Woods of
a plan they used to prove Eula's de-
ception. When the girl was in one of
her worst spells of imitation hysteria
a number of the nurses gathered
around the bed and one of them
stropped a razor as she whispered tu
| the others:
II fear she is going to die. The only
thing that will save her is to shave her
head
The nurse told Mr. Woods that the
girl instantly got over her fit of hys-
| terra.
The future of the Wilson girl has not
been determined.
