While living here the parents
OF Georges lateiy-self-confessed
concubine, Mr.. and Mrs. Bar
tholomew, Of West Virginia, vis-
tied them and were introduced
by him (George) as his father n.
law and mother-in.law. Hence,
it will be seen, that if the writer
from West Liberty stated in his
letter that George Taulbee had a
wife and children here he had
splendid reasons for so believing.
But my dear sir, leaving the
question of bigamy, white-slav-

suspecting his crookedness, re-

Mr.. Mathis does not like to talk
about the matter, but he will tell
you if you insist:
If you want the truth concern
ing Taulbee's record ask any
man in West Liberty of whom he
could borrow money or procure
credit. Or ask those who signed
a note to make good his cold
check. You will have no trouble
getting the FACTS concerning
Taulbee if you will ask those who
know him best. The fine clothes
he wore, the pompous style he
affected and the expensive jam
