Tragedy From a Phone Hoax Tells of Parr Family
A Washington Pot Special from New York reports enemies of Richard Parr used a tainted telephone hoax to smear him. Mrs Parr, hearing false charges about her husband, collapsed in tears and her child was born dead while she lay between life and death. The incident ties to an inquiry into alleged smuggling and a wider West prominence unknown in truth. The mother’s delicate condition followed the ordeal and a physician treated her until crisis.
