"I ask them what they want to see her for and they say they are friends of hers and they rtould like to have a talk with her. Some of them claim to have business with her. but they will not say what Is the nature of their business. I know that one or two of them are people who desire to serve notice of suits for debt upon her, but they will be obliged to, wait for a time at least. I guess lots of people think that we keep a circus down here, and that anybody can get in. I will not have the woman disturbed In such a manner w hile I have charge of her." May Give Testimony.
