Abstract

"...You know she is a prostitute and only lived with Old Waltose that she might kill him and get his property and I think the Property should be taken from her and given to Waltose relations. If she had been a good woman, if she had been married to Waltose or had lived with him long or borne him children I would not say this but as it is we feel very bad about it and also do not want to see her have all that property."
