this city, and William Dauer, a mills

Several days ago when MIR. Dauer
| first arrived in Mankato the inform
alton with his version OF facts was
given in the Free Press. In response
to that published statement Maxine
has made reply which Is self-ex-
planatory.
What Tho Lady HaS To Say
The Free Press: In reply to Mr..
Dauer,s little "ad" in The Free Press
l wish to state that he is an awful
liar. Mr.. Dauer lays great stress on
the fact that he is an eX service
man. He forgot to mention, however,
that he got married to keep from be-
ing drafted, as at that time the gov
ernment was taking no married men.
1t Is true l drew an allotment but
he couldn't help himself. My home
was never in Hillsboro, Wis. was
merely visiting there. 1t is true 1
was arrested in Hobart, Oklanoma,
DuS 1 W dS I0lOdSCu UiAuISS,
as had nothing to do with the case.
Sheriff Lee OF that town will verify
what l say. was arrested in Bemid
j for vagrancy. In Gary, indiana, 1
was arrested for crawling through
the window of my niece's house 10
get some dry shoes, but the judge
said he couldn't hold me as | aunt
break any locks. Up to this time my
Jail career has been due to a misun
derstanding. | never was in Sioux
City in my life and have no relatives
there. The reason Mr.. Dauer was not
allowed to hold private converse
ton with me was because 1 did not
wish it. So there are no retihectioij
to be cast on Sheriff Osten, as l
asked him to stay near while W.
| were talking. Mr.. Dauer has never
furnished home for me in the four
years we have been married, and in
that time has given me $40, wliGtl
was mine anyway. VIII start suiI &
Mr.. Dauer for divorce on charg~5
of non support as soon as l get out
of Jail: AS to the adultery charge, up
until tie tf1ae Mr.. Dauer appeared
! on the scene, / thought he had oD-
| tanned divorce. He is basing most
| Of his charges in this line on '1I-S
| fact that l received letter from one
Budd mason, who happens to be
girl, and If he had an ounce OF brains
he could tell it was a woman's hand
| writing
Signed, Maxine Williams, Mv name
is not Zina, but it is Mcdonald. VII
liams is my stepfalnsr's name, -
DauerT Unburdened Himself
After a careful persual OF the fore
going letter, Dauar unburdened him
self OF a few ideas and burning
statements. In answer to several L.
legations made in the letter, Dauer
said, Il certainly did give her monur
and | have the receipts at the hotel
which will show that she got pIy
allotment Another think I know
Is that she never composed that Iet
er herself as she is not educated
well enough to write such a ler.e;"
"The party's name is not Zina, as
she says, but it is Zana." ..She is
wrong again about her HilIsboro
statement because there is where we
were married" II didn't get married
to heep out of the army because my
QUESTIONABLE was sent in before 1
was married and l Glazed no eX
emption." ''She has no relatives IL
Sioux City but she has some in Sioux
Falls.
Will Appear Before Jury
Dauer stated that he went to the
county Jail to see the Williams wo-
man and that the sheriff said to
him. "You are not her husband ana
take her word for it before / TIA /,
yours. Get out of here and stay out.
Dauer stated that there seems to be
no possibility of his getting ware
ant for the woman here charging
her with adultery and since that is
the case he is leaving for Chicago
and will return here in June to ap-
pear as a witness against her oe-
fore the grand jury.
