He Seeks Revenge.

Dallas, Tex, Nov. 5.-Mrs. Ellie M.
Lake, held as an accessory to the
murder of Miss Florence Brown on
the strength of assertions made by
Meade Barr, who has confessed to
the killing, in statement denied that
she had any part in or knowledge Of
the killing of the young woman, and
attributed Bars attempt to impli-
cate her as an endeavor to be re-
venged for her refusal to accept his
advances.
These were made, she declared, be-
fore the death a month ago OF her
husband. At the time Lake and his
wife and Barr and his sister had
apartments in the same house.

five months ago." Mrs. Lake said.
"Afterward Barr claimed he loved me.
/ resented his professions and warn
ed him not to enter my apartments
unless my husband was there. He said
then he would get even with me some
ady. That is the only reason I can
give for his attempt to connect me
with the killing of Miss Brown"
