ing belief that Miss keeney knew Of
t. ar existence. She said she had beer
in almost constant communication
with her husband. not only while ha
vas pract;cing in Brooklyn but while
lie was acting as surgeon on United

Mrs. Vcrmilye said that she had
written daily letters to her husband
and had always affixed the words:
"Return to Mrs. w. G. Vermilye" o.
ne envelopes She added:
There is absolutely no reason why
! should become involved in this
wrctched affair. I am the innocent
victim, but shall stay in Harris
burg unit! the matter is settled BE-
tween the doctor and Miss Keeney.
DR.. Vernilye. who Is a FORMER
Brooklyn physician, is confined TO the
