Mahoncy had nothing but a prison

Shc was wise In the ways OF the
world and must have known that.
A theory was advanced shortly
after Mahoney was arrested for her
murder. that she had taken him as
a protector because she feared ven.
geance from certain people In the
East where she intended visiting.
This theory is scoffed at by Mrs.
Mahoney's friends and relatives. who
say II was the fabrication OF the ac-
cused man or someone interested in
his defense with the idea, perhaps. OF
casting suspicion upon someone. else.
An entirely different theory In that

explanation OF the marriage is mere.

why she married him. What changed
