her lord and master ate. could she even eat

Once the taboo was removed. the woman be

Pauline (Mrs. Showman) and wrote
her letters, also sent her postcards OF

His Story s.Fun of Holes.''
Proceeding, Marzyck gave. in detail
the places he had visited from August
2, 1911, up to April, 1912. the date Of
his arrest in Golden for obtaining
goods under false pretenses: During
the months from August to the time
of his arrest. he claims to have been
ton company the greater part of the
time From September to Septem-
Der 81, he says he worked Tor this
company at Edmington, and that he
stopped at the Stanley Roman house.
September 81 to October 20 he worked
for the same people at Headquarters
camp, No. 5, Thornton, Alberta, Cam
ada. A man by the name of Nichol-
son, he says was the foreman of the
camp. He gives names of other places
where he stopped and worked; tells
how pay checks were made out; where
and how he cashed them; date on
which he registered at certain hotels.
etc. His story contains so many names
and details that the officials will have
little trouble in finding out the truth
of them.
The story fits in well with the things
that the officials here have discovered,
but Marzyck has not told the truth
about dates. When he said that he
met a friend in Denver in June, the
friend who is a policeman in Denver
by the name of Krathy, says that he
saw Marzyck on September 16 instead
of June as MarZyck stated. Maryzck
