IN whose head William Chisholm g
blood properly rests, now appears to
have left a record for low moral en-
1eavor back in Bay City, Mich, before
Superior, the Mesaba range and Duluth
ever saw her pulchritudinous person. -
The previous issue of the Rip-saw
told how William Chisholm became in
eatuated with Madam LeMay and Law
ished time, money and fine raiment on
her. It further was told how he was
suspected of having robbed the Amer
lean Express company to secure: furs
and silks to cover the siren g fair but
fral form and how, when the officers
of the law and express company asked
an interview with the D, M. & N. train
conductor, he excused himself for q
few moments and then blew out his
brains with his pistol. - a.~.s -
The Rip-saw stated that Madam Le-
May came from Saginaw, Mich. The
fact is that she! came. from Bay City,
being one Of five children, four girls
and one boy, in much respected
French family. Out of the entire mum.
Der, Edith, or Eva, as one person de.
rlares her baptismal name really to be,
was very frisky and a very black
eve lamb.
fofmsf resident Of Bay CITY IN:
forms the Rip-saw that Edith, or Eva,
LeMay was married in Bay City to one
Porter, an express driver, decent
hap, who was forced to divorce the
woman about IL years ago because of
her wicked way of living. She is sup
posed to be about 80 years old at the
present time. =
Coming to the head of the lakes,
other information has it that the frisky
French file married G. N. r. con-
iuctor named Dan. Bartolli That hus-
band gave the woman cause to divorce
him, which she did eight or more years
ago, after which $ she duly annexed
George Donahue as a husband. The
temptations Of the big Mesaba range
proved too strong for the siren; there
fore Donahue separated from her. She
then came to Duluth.
When living with Donahue, Madam
Edith carnally entertained soldier in
the Donahue bed:chamber and, when
she came to Duluth, down and out, she
was forced to employ the arts and
practices. of woman Of the town to
keep her beautiful body and hideous
soul together. = - e. - '''''
A year ago last summer, Madam
Edith enmeshed William Chisholm, the
two becoming acquainted as result
of her trips up and down. the D, NJ. &
N, He loaned or gave her $500 to buy
the Central hotel lease and, from that
time on, the notorious "gold- d-digger"
annexed much coin and fine raiment.
When Chisholm was putting up mon
ey to the woman, she was keeping 9th
er men on the string and pulling their
pocket-book legs vigorously and sue
cessfully. A Duluthian interested In
the taxicab business was wheedled out
of three Liberty bonds and good
many dollars. Among other things, he
bought her $50 wrap.
While playing Chisholm and the tax
icab man for suckers, Madam Edith g
pet paramour was a husky hero in uni
form, some army sergeant. She got
what coin she could ont Of the soldier
boy and he took her on trip with him
to Faribault at one time. He finally
got orders to march and that took him
out OF her clutches.
A former roomer in the Central hotel
recently informed the Rip-saw that,
last summer, Madam LeMay had in the
bank at least 81, 900 belonging to CHS.
holm and entrusted to her care. This
informant expressed q firm opinion
that she still had about 81, 600 OF tie
sum when Chisholm took the suieide
route out Of tho world. ~; :v>..
One Of the widest, oldest and most
amusing times ever seen in Duluth was
witnessed BY q Central hotel roomer
when George Donahue tanked up In
Oliver and then ran annex. in his
wife's maison dc jois. BE chided her
and chased her around and then he
abused her guests After that, the
drunken idea struck him that he should
divide up the furniture and furnishings
in the Central hotel. he. wonld shove
one piece Of furniture to one side Of
the room and tell his wife that ske
could have It. Showing another to the
other side, he informed hsr that he
would keep. that. ..,~-- -. -,
