urged that ] go to her room. A little
later, Gordon came in.
/ had been to the races on Thanks
giving. I went there on several oc-
! casions. While at the acetrack 1 met
! young man, a fine fellow, who lives
with a physician on North Capitol
street, and he told me that he would
give me some good tips on the races
II called him on the telephone. He
gave me his card and told me not to
1a1i to call him up. / put the card
! In my pocketbook and it was there
when Gordon came into the house Fri
| day to see me.
Demands That She.
Give Him Money.
| Il want some money Gordon de-
manded. II lost all my money at the
race track and j want some of your
money. | asked him what he wanted
with IL. and he declared to buy a pint
of whiskey, saying he was going to
get drunk. He reached over and
picked up the pocketbook and saw the
mans card.
without word, he threw aside my
baby and pulled pistol from his
+; pocket. He seized me by the hair,
pulled me from the chair in which /
had been sitting, and a moment later
/ realized l had been shot. / fell un-
conscious.
Why did that man try to kill me
Just because he was jealous of an
ether man! Isl, woman to be tied
Gown to a jealous lover-a man she
detests, with her life constantly In
danger?
l lost all feeling and respect for him
the day he struck me and dislocated
my two fingers.
! His brother came to the hospital TO
see me last Sunday. He brought me
quest of Gordon. / told him I didn't
/ con had given pint of his blood to
| save my life.
/ would rather have died than to
| have received his blood. But l didn't
know they were giving me his blood.
Had / known so. I would have refused
! to accept it.
| God knows I would ! expect to re-
| cover from this, and ] am going to
! see that Gordon does not escape prose
! cution. He is the sort of brute that
! women should not have to contend
with. !, for one, felt him friend at
! first. but later discovered he was a
wolf in lambs clothing.
Doesn't believe
He wouis sacriace.
! But / know that Gordon tried TO
! kill me. He had told me he would
/ kill me IL / ran around with the
| printer. He loves me, he says.
He would give every drop of blood
IL his body to save my life: He
would sacrifice his life, he says, for
! me. ! don't believe a word of it.
The truth of the matter is, that
after he realized the enormity of his
, T, crime. when he realized that he faced
the gallows he wanted to affect being
gave his blood is because he wanted
| me to live to prevent his death,
probably on the gallows.
II am through with him forever. I
am going to live, but again l wish
I to say that should 1t become necessary
for me to have more blood l will
rather die than accept any from Cor
don.
! am only one probably OF many
women who have suffered, but 1 am
praying to God that my child will
never hear of the awful attack made
on me.
1 will live for my child and pray
she never will have to undergo the
struggle and hardships that 1 have
! undergone.
I never promised to marry him.
His attack on me was deliberate.
In accepting favors from him, I
felt courtesy was due him. But 1
have lost all respect / ever had for
him. The law will take it's course,
and I shall help the law"
