Says That Woman Whom She
Befriended Stirred Up
All the Trouble

Spite work on the part of a woman
befriended is the cause given by Miss
Catherine Pearce, trained nurse, for
her arrest on the charge of passing a
bad check and obtaining money for
worthless oil stock.
Handsome, self confident and appa-
rently perfectly sure of her own in
nocense is Miss Pearce. She spent
the night in the city prison, but en-
tered Judge Sullivan's court this
morning for arraignment. trim, smart,
and with no sign of depression.
She has ready and plausible ex-
plantations for all that may be said
against her. woman with whom
she has been living at 631 Cole street,
is, she declares, the one who has
stirred up suspicion against her.
Difficulties. Miss Pearce says. arose
over the settlement of bills in the
apartment to which she took the
woman when the latter was alone and
friendless.

ters into the explanation and bulks

the two women Miss Pearce having
demanded that something be paid for
the wear and tear on her furniture
due to the continual presence of a
married man who was the employer OF
her companion.

have been all right in a day or two.
WOMAN GOT NERVOUS
"As for Miss Francis. she lent me
only $3.50 and / agreed to pay her
back. or, If the oil stock turned out
any good, to divide with her. She
got nervous when it didn't pay. and
