MRS. PARKISON RETURNS; HAS NOTHING TO SAY.

Woman Who Claims to Have Been Victimised by Land Agent Refuses to Talk to Reporter. Mira. Alda Parkison returned on the 11:05 train from Chicago Wednesday night -" v \ At noon today the writer called Mrs. Parkison by telephone and asked her if she bad any statement to make for publication. She replied, “No, thank you.*’ The reporter told her that her friends here were anxious to have her side of the story directly from her and. that The Republican wished to give them the news. She replied that enough had already been said. While the writer was talking in an effort to get her to change her mind, she bung up the receiver and the interview came to an abrupt end. The reporter later called again. Mrs. Parkison was asked if she recovered her notes. She replied, “Oh, now, please don’t ask any questions.” But we tried to ask a few anyway, but there was a little click and the receiver at the other end of the line was hung, up and the reporter is unable to enlighten its readers at all. Chicago papers give no later details of the affair.
