Tl0NAl STORY CONCERNING
WAHPETQN WOMAN
Continued from Page L

The above item from the Cour-
Ter News would impress on the
public that Wahpeton and its
doctors and hospital are very un-
charitable and unhumane, were
not the facts Of the case set forth
as they should be. The Times
made very careful investigation
among the men concerned and in
interviewing Doctor Devine, he
says: II have handled no such
case, and l investigated it at the
hospital after Mr.. Hall of Fargo
called me up over the telephone
ana find that there was no sucl,
case handled there by any doc
tor, according to the name given
me-. and we find it the ssme at
the Wahpeton hospital.
In interviewing Chief of Police
Powrle he says: Il received a
telephone message from the Fargo
police to watch the couple and
they gave me her description. and

couldn't tell that was an officer

and the couple registered as Mr.,
and Mrs. Sinclair" Upon our in
vestisation at the hotel we find
that the above named coup]c
were assigned to room number
two.
Chief Powrie than called up the
Fargo Police Headquarters and
his description Tailed, with the
description of this woman's de-
scription there. This coupl.
stayed at the Merchants until
Monday evening when they board
eel the N. p. west for Stirum.
Yesterday morning we got a
telephone message from our re-
preventative near Stirum that no
had got in direct communication
with the young man, and upon
putting the question where Won
in Wahpeton Monday he said en-
phatically. no sir, l wasn't" But
our representative was not to be
bluffed so easily and after telling
him he saw his name registered al
Wahpeton, than he admitted he
was in this city Monday. And af-
ter some questioning admitted
that he was in Fargo on Saturday,

Upon questioning our representa-
tive ne said that this young man
was not married. The young wo-
man or widow as she styles her
self is not married as far as he
can find out. Upon questioning
him about a certain person. he
SAID that she wasn't in town. But
again our representative used his
better j Judgment and called upon
a prominent man of Stirum who
said that he saw her a few min

who registered at the Merchants

people as the descriptions tally
