Francis Baldwin Anderson on May 81
and left him one week later.
Wouldn't Mr.. Andersons family re-
ceive your" asked plain-spoken
friend
Il was only there a week." was the
enigmatic reply.
First families, whether of New York
or Kentucky, could not and would not
welcome a daughter of Al Adams. For
Al Adams daughters marriage meant
not social gain, but financial loss.
Mrs. Adams, in her mansion, was
growing FESTIVE under the demands
upon her. A psychic" sued for five
per cent. Of all moneys from her hus-
bands estate, on the ground that she
had promised him that in case he
brought about a reconciliation He
claimed he had effected the reconcilia-
ton. She said the king" had died

me up and tell me the children were

asked Mrs Gilbert

this family detective.
Now Walter Adams complains that
he is bankrupt. His money has gone

poor from whom 1t was first filched.
Upon the heels of this news comes
the other. that Richard Garfield Is
