ing to make public letters written him
by Miss Hoffelfnger, which would
blacken the girls character. Mrs.
King said Hudson told her he had
received a letter signed Peter
shortly before Miss Hoffelfnger was
to wed Ford, demanding money for
three of Miss HOffelfnger's letters.
She said that she had no money
at the time, but that she signed many
notes to Hudson on her representa-
ton he would advance the money
and that he finally did return the
three letters to her just before the
marriage of Miss HOfelfnger to
Ford.
She testified that not long after
ward Hudson came to her again and
told her that he had discovered that
Vredenburg had made reproductions
Of the letters which would do as
much harm as the originals and got
her to sign more notes, including one
for So, 900, for a trip to Paris in order
to get the reproductions, for which
she says he finally gave her.
She says Hudson told her the trip
to Paris was necessary as there was
a woman there whom Vredenburg
had ruined and that he thought he
could get this woman to threaten to
expose VredenbUrg unless he gave up
the letters.

OF the poor of Chautauqua county, who

Locked In the house with Beardsley are
his nine children his wife and a sister

Evidently driven TO desperation by the
intense cold and hunger, Beardsley at
tempted dash for liberty early today.
AS he left a rear, door, a deputy sheriff
ordered him to stop. Beardsley opened
nre with his shotgun, but retreated
into the house.
u was because Putnam had come to
ms home to take his children to the
poorhouse that Beardsley killed the Of

1t is known there is little food and
iuel In the house. The temperature is
beiow zero. Those who witness the
killing of Putnam said Beardsley was
beside himself with grief as he saw
the children preparing to leave and
that when he took up his rifle he de-
clared he would die fighting rather
than see them taken from him.
