The girl, Miss Dorothy Maude Boud, a secretary, of Cambridge Street, Victoria, said she met Teasdale at the beginning of this year and knew him as a single man. She had met him on numerous occasions since the in- troduction.

On March 3 she and Teasdale went to the Victoria Palace. When they got to the lobby of the theatre a woman spoke to her. She did not know the woman at that time, but now knew. her to be Mrs. Tensdale.
Mr. Vincent Evans (prosecut- ing): What did she say to you? She touched me on the arm and said: "Are you with him?" I replied, "Yes." She said, "Do you know he is a married man and I am his wife, and he has n baby?"

STANLEY
Photographs And Letters To Back His Claim
A 71-year-old London housekeeper-William Hoffmann---| has written a remarkable account of his adventures with H. M. Stanley on the famous expedition across Africa for the relief and rescue of Emin Pasha in 1887-1889.
Mr. Hoffmann believes he is the sole survivor of that heroic enterprise to save the last representative of Egyptian rule to hold out against the Mahdist forces.
