"I corresponded with him until three weeks before I remarried my
divorced husband, last December. He wrote very nice letters, but he
certainly didn't sound rich."
"You got what you asked for, didn't you?" asked Mr. Murphy.
"Oh, yes, I guess so; I'm not complaining."
The uncomplainingness of the alleged victims is the odd feature of the

Dr. Montgomery Porter, a graduate of the University of Arkansas, came
all the way from his home in Pine Bluff, to say that he had answered
one of Mrs. Scott's advertisements but had not paid the $5 fee, "which
she charged the men members."
Porter C. Dyer, a graduate of the Ohio State University, who lives in
Austin, O., said that he paid the fee and was disappointed, "because
the names sent were not those of refinement and culture, as promised
in the circulars."
Mrs. Flora Scott, a restaurant keeper at Middleport, O., tall and not
particularly stylish, couldn't recall what any of the circulars said,
but she was quite sure she hadn't landed a rich husband yet.
