tice Weeks that his wife had received
three legacies Of at least $4,000 each
and that she was not dependent on his
alimony for support. Mrs. Douglas re-
piled to this that her husband squan-
dered a legacy she got from Booth.

Mrs. Douglass reply. was; Edwin

squandered by the defendant, and the
deponent has no property of any sort
Justice Weeks refused to vacate the
order Of arrest. Douglas will have to
serve six months.

Mccarthy. an old friend. so she gave
him a dance. IL was thing any girl
might have done. bu. because IL was
poor BESSIE there had 20 be sharp
words over it. Well John Donahue is
dead now as a result and Mccarthy
is up the river doing his fifteen years
for having killed him.
Il don't know why, but everybody
she ever met liked her and they made
much of her, for she seemed the life
Of the crowd, she was so III of fun.
And now comes this Sullivan,
never knew that was his name until
yesterday. | know that Bessie met
him a. a party New Years Eve, and
he was introduced 20 her as Walter
More. He took good care that we never
heard anything about MS wife and
child, After he met her he was always
sending Ter presents just ike the other
men she met.
