month he had provided for support
of my baby since it was born" she
explained, in an exclusive interview.
Mrs. Leeds decision to break her
two years silence follows publica-

man now is interested in New

Leeds, who shielded the banker for

Of bearing the brunt of what had
been for her a tragedy"
Now she tells in her own words
for the first time that:

ment TO a suit for injunction filed by
William H. Oakes and Alice Oakes in
Superior Court. Damages of $50, 600
and permanent injunction are asked.
Cline denied any irregularity.
The Standard paid S27 500 for two
lots. which are in q residence district
on city plan maps, getting q deed Dec.
20, 1922. although the lots were on
the market az s12, 900 for some time,

"The Standard OIL Company knew
from the fact that II was paving
s27.500 for property worth S12 900 that
8 permit to locate a filing station at
a junction Of the two most beauti-
ful boulevards in the city was being
obtained for it, and said permit was
worth to the Standard Oil Company
$751; 900 more than the actual value Of
the land. and plaintiffs aver that the
