A paper come out, with a picture of the Wisner fence, showing the place
where the hole had been broke through. It was marked with a star to show
where it was at. The man that wrote the story said here was a modern
case of Pyramus and Thisbe. Who they was I don't know; but like enough
they lived on the South Side. There was pictures this time of our
William and their Emmy. I didn't read any more about the thing, for I
was sore on the whole business, and considerable worried about Old Man
Wright, what he was going to do. But at part of the piece it said
something I happened to see.
Evidently [it says] though it may be difficult for a young man to
kiss a girl through a four-foot wall, this aperture, opening or
orifice, without doubt or question originally was intended as an
avenue for Mr. Pyramus to achieve access occasionally, if not to
the lips, at least to the ears of little Miss Thisbe. Which leaves
it only a question of who was Mr. Pyramus and who Miss Thisbe. As
to this, Alderman Wright has steadily denied himself to the press,
while Mrs. Wisner, the only member of the family at home on the
north side of the wall, also refuses to talk. It is well known
that Mr. Wisner has been absent in Europe on important business
connected with the war loan--
