From what I have heard this woman is the ‘other woman’ in the Tompkins case.” Girl Pleads Innocence. The attorney argued that the young woman was an innocent vie- tim of the man's intrigue and the blame should not be placed on her, but Judge Page refused to reduce the Lond, Miss Witmeyer said she should not| he arrested forced her to do threatening to kill himse I repulsed him to the tent of my ability,” she asse just a victim of ecircumstances. didn’t break up his home, I knew there was unhappiness there.
