came to my Office in answer to al
adj for girl for Office work thre,
years ago. She proved to be tn,
type of girl ! wanted. so l engaged
her. The first time she came to tn.
Office she was accompanied by hel
mother, Mrs Fife P. Hewins, who
became quite friendly, and insisted
that | 60 to their home in East Ded
ham to live.
THE girls mother said on their
first visit to my office that I should
make an ideal husband for her
daughter and son-in-1aw to her.
81 did not like the coat that Hazel
wore and gave her $35 to buy an
other, which she did. When she
came back she showed ME some
calling cards that she had printed as
Mrs. Rodriguez | said nothing to
her for doing it.
"After repeated invitations on the
part of Mrs. Hewins, | moved my
furniture to East Dedham and lived
there for three years. | became in
satuated with Hazel, who was the
wife of Henry A. kussmaul, not then
living with his wife. Hazel kept
telling me that just as soon as she
obtained a divorce from her hus-
band she would marry me.
II spent large sums Of money on
Hazel because | loved her, and |
made her mother presents of clothes
and also things for her father. |
supplied Hazel with all of her
clothes. purchased furs, silk stock
ings, gloves--in fact, whenever she
wanted anything to wear, I either
bought it myself or gave her the
money to do so.
Liquor and Lawn Mower.
II kept her father supplied with
liquor and tobacco and I even
bought his clothes. I supplied them
with lawn mower and other garden
implements and garden seeds.
II was called to New York on
business, where I remained for sew
eral weeks, and l kept buying nice
things that l saw and expressed
them to Hazel. paid $40 for a box
of candy one time. Whenever Hazel
wanted any money she would write
me and | would send any amount
she wanted.
"My suspicion was aroused when
Francisco Ballestros, the Mexican
consul in Boston, came to me one
day and showed me letter he had
received from Hazel. called her
attention to what / had learned and
she seemed to be very much sur
prised. She pleaded with me to for
give her, saying that she did that to
see if I was jealous.
"Sweet on Mexican Boy"
zone day saw her and the Mex
lean consul talking on the street in
Boston and | passed them by. l
was very mad. The Mexican con-
sui treats me very cool since then.
She was also very sweet on young
Mexican boy, Robert De La Freute,
who is secretary in the Mexican
consular office in Boston. Young De
La Freute, who is good-looking
chap with blond hair, is a protege
IL President Carranza of Mexico.
His father is General De La Freute,
/ general in Carranza's army.
II feel very bitter toward Hazels
.ather and mother, because they are
for her going away and
saving me. They treated me fine
while | was living at their home and
IS long as I kept buying them pres
snts and helping to run the house.
"Hazel, l have learned, has since
been divorced by Kussmaul and
married. a man named Vincent b.
Beckett, on June %, 1919, in Chica-
70. The ceremony was performed
~ Judge H. Sterling Pomeroy. This
s true, for | have certified copy
81 the marriage from the authori-
lies in Chicago. | have also in my
possession a certified copy showing
hat Henry Abel Kussmaul. Hazeis
husband, had secured a divorce in
Kings county, Washington, October
). 1918.
Lets Her Handle Money.
$50 certain did l feel that Hazel
8 ould be some day my wife, gave
Ter keys to my office and let her
attend to all my business, even to
handling the money. She and her
mother would visit my office when
mos ,w.v OF course. | did not |
,biect to that. Mrs. Hewins had
key to the Office, also.
"Mrs. Hewins would write me
owe letters and send me verses writ
en- about love and would telephone
ne. She frequented my Office at all
tours and would stay with me quiet
while, and then when she went
rome she would tell Hazel and her
ather that she had been to show.
The mother bothered me so by tele-
,honing at the Office and calling
herself that she interfered with my
BUSINESS and had to order her
lway.

o me by Hazel and her mother
n which they expressed their love
or me. and I have verse after verse

ident that Hazel would become my
wife that | made myself poor by
irving them what they wanted. with
