PRE VIS VOL. XXXVII. NO. 173. RALEIGH, N. C, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 14. 1897. $4.00 PER YEAR. THE Her Sister, Mrs. Bedilicgfield, States Her Case. COUNTER CHARGES Mrs. Glass is in Kichraond and Her Sister Writes a Letter to the Press-Visitor Mr. Hurt Also Makes a Statement. In this morning's mail the follow ing letters were received 'by the editor of the Frksb-Visitor : Mr. Anhrf.ws Will you please contradict an infamous slander by Diiblishinir uiv sister's letter in justice tome. Very respectfully, Mrs. Glass. 711 Fast Leigh street, Richmond, Va. Richmond, May Rllh, 1S!7. Mr Andrews, Editor Press-Visitor Pkar Sir I see a false statement in your paper of the 11th regarding the departure of my sister, Mrs. Class, from Raleigh. She has been at home with us since Friday after noon. She notified us that she was cominff. Geo. Glass lied when he said it was unexpected to him. Mrs. Glass told him two weeks ago that she would go home if he did not change his way of living, as the people in the city woretalkiugabout his conduct with other women and his own servants were sneering and laughing about him. My sister packed her trunks two weeks ago aud sent them to the de pot, but decided to plead with him to reform. He told her that if she did not like his way of living she could go home, and the sooner the better, saying also they bad better live apart, as he did not care for her; and then she could not see what he did. I saw how he was treating her and tried two years ago to get her to leave him, and she had her trunks packed to leave him, but he came to me and begged me to inter ceed for him with her, promising he would treat her right in the future, but he has never been kind to her, as I can prove by others. He went out every night, saying he was his own man and would doas he pleased. Her home was a most unhappy one. Does it look like a kind and affec tionate husband who beats his wife with a chair '! which Glass did a few years ago because she told him she knew of some of his conduct with women. As to the charges against her, they are false from beginning to nd. Several of her friends dowji there knew she wis coining home and the reason therefor, and advised her to do so'. As to Mr. Hart, my sister has not seen him since he left Raleigh. More over, Glass was not kind to Mr. Hart while I was there a few weeks ago. He did not treat him well. Mv sister left on Friday morning, as can be proven by Mr. Henry W. Miller, Passenger Agent of the Southern -railway, to whom she had telephoned on the evening be fore leaving, asking for the schedule and rate to Richmond, and by Bag gage Agent Green. Mr. Hart left Tuesday morning. Would she have taken her son if she intended wrong-doing? A child 11 years old and over would hardly have been taken. Now to let you know iu regard to the money which she drew, she only bad sixty-six dollars in Mr. Lacy's bank. This she drew out a week be fore she left, and Glass was aware of it. Raleigh, her son, had twenty dollars in Mr. Pullen's bank which he drew out to pay his mother for her bicycle. There are other things which can be proved on Glass which may be brought against him' later and which will make him ashamed to show his face anywhere. Mrs. J. B. BEDniNoriEi.D, 711 E. Leigh street, Richmond, Va. The Press-Visitor also received the following communication this morning: Richmond, Va., May 13. To the Editor Press-Visitor: I want you to contradict the state ment against me in your , paper. I left Raleigh Tuesday morning at 11:43 and not Thursday, as stated 1 by Mr. Glass, and I was not ordered away. I bid all my friends good bye the morning that I left, and had no cross words with anybody. I have not seen Mrs. Glass since I left Raleigh. If she left her husband it was not n my account, but on the account of his misconduct. I knew Mrs. Glass as a lady, and I always respected her as a lady. I cau prove all that I have said. Henry Hart. The Press-Visitor publishes the above communications in justice to the parties concerned, who were re ferred to in our previous publication on this subject, based upon informa tion given bv a friend of Mr. (J lass and which publication wassubmtitod to Mr. Glass' attorney before publi cation. We give space to the above statements in order to be fair to all parties involved. BROTHERHOOD MKKTING Delegates Arriving (iencra I Wood Here.
