Mrs. shorey to state what was on
her mind. in the presence OF wit
nesses. Grant arranged with mo TO
have her in his office on Tuesday at
10 o'clock. 1t appears that she went
there at o'clock on Monday and
told a rather irrational story to The
inspector.
Says She Imagines Things.
1.-THE imaginary troubles on the
part of Mrs. Shorey have nothing
whatever to do with the letters which
sent out to gather evidence In
support of my bill. Elizabeth Shorey
to the best of my knowledge and
belief. has been up to the time
left her house perfect young
lady. l am sorry 1 cannot say the
same for her mother. She has moth.
ing whatever to do with rumors cir
culating around that one girl tried
TO blackmail me to the extent of 800.
II rented a room April 20. 1871.
at Mrs. Shorey's house and re-
manned there until the bombing tests
on the battleship Iowa. When / was
on this trip the Shorey family moved
and when I returned the house was
vacant. although I had paid in ad.
vance for my room for some time.
Hints There's Something Wrong.
II understood that they had not
paid their rent for several months
and moved to avoid payment and
broke a two.year contract. Mrs.
Shorey was then sued for $4,000 for
breaking contract and not paying
rent. During the time i resided at
Mrs. Shoreys residence she had
h.f. If har A.
ers. One case in particular was an
affair with Mr.. McFadden.
I'm a controversy over rent she
asked me to wait in the hall when
she went to his room. Shortly after
wards met her in a hystericsl
condition and she alleged that Nc
Fadden had knocked her down. /
called an officer and wanted her 10
have the man arrested. She re-
fused on the ground that II would
be disgrace to appear in police
court. The next morning she claim
ed McFadden had stolen her purse.
containing forty dollars, a check for
a like amount and $4,000 worth of
Liberty bonds. l then called a mead
quarters detective and know moth
ing about the matter further except
that Mrs. Shorey confessed TO me
and several other men that McFadden
had not stolen the bonds and that
There was then no other trouble
until she broke her contract while /
was away nthe bombing test. Mrs.
Shorey is suffering from neurasthenic
troubles. This was the diagnosis of
the physician who was called to ex.
anime the lady after the affair with
McFadden.
THE allegations contained In a
Washington newspaper on August %
that 1 wrote ten love notes to Miss
shorey are apsoiutely untrue me
s,ran,o,,s efforts 70 in,nress mo with
the desirability of marrying her daugh-
ter.
He Payed roxy Game'
Partly to humor the old lady and
to avoid trouble until my rent should
have expired, l pretended TO condition
ally agree, but stipulated at least two
years must elapse before l would Sc
riously consider possible marriage
with her daughter, 10 which sn"
agreed. This was the status OF tho
relations with her daughter and my
self up to the time ] left.
AFTER returning IRON tho bombing
tests 1 took snort vacation In New
YORK ana oio write from new YORK

her that as l was away she could
