Gems for Girl From Junk Box He Says
Boston attorney Frank A. Appleton, sued for 20000 by former stenographer Sadie Waters, underwent examination by attorney W M Weeks. Appleton denied all allegations, claimed jewelry gifts came from a junk box, and said he never promised to marry. He admitted no contact with Waters for about 18 months before April 1909 and acknowledged a letter implying he would delay the affair if decently settled, a letter he said he wrote after Waters sent a pitiable note. The letter is reportedly destroyed.
