Audibert was then a graduate nurse,
having just received her diploma. She
attended to McTurk, and when he got
better, he displayed his affection for
her by calling at her house and taking
her to the theater.
Some time later he Informed his par
ents of his intention to wed the nurse,
to which they, it is said, offered siren

But the young man would agree to
neither plan. His auto rolled up to Miss
