Sho wild: "It Is my duty to clear Cloinlnson. I feel that I urn doliiK right, though the world niuy condemn me. A man 'ho will stand In thu shadow of tho Bullous knowing his Innocence, and will defend u woman's name, at thu risk of Ills own life cannot ho bad. "I was married In St. Louis when 1 was 1C. Two years ago I quarreled with my husband, came to Chicago and stayed with my aunt, .Mrs. Caroline Speck. Home ttmo later called In Or. Cloinlnson pro fessionally. From that tlmo our acquaintance- gradually ripened. On tho night that Dr. dleniinson's wlfo killed herself, 1 went to his offlco at his re quest. Wo wcio there from 8 o'clock until 3 the folowing morning. Dr. Iter vey saw us. Dr. Clemlnson was Intoxi cated. He did not reach his homo In Itogers park until 5 In the morning, so It was lmposlblu that ho could huvu killed his wife. "I do not love Dr. Clemlnson. I never loved him. I went with him bocauso I was angry with my husband. I did not lovo my husband then. I love him now. "After tho episode with Dr. Clemlnson, I repeatedly offered to confess my wrongdoing when he was In danger, liven when things looked blackest for him, Dr. Clemlnson would not permit me to tell of our night together. When he was convicted I told my aunt, my mother and my husband. It was awful telling my husband, but It Is glorious the way ho forgave and furnished money for me to come to Chicago." If the supremo, court refuses to Inter fere and grant Cloinlnson a new trial through the discovery of Mrs. Schmidt's testimony, Clemlnson's attorneys intend to bring her story to tho nollco of tho pardon hoard. 1 M2NS PIERRE PfclER. -A V MU1.
