KING'S STATEMENT. To thé Publicand to Whem it May Concern: 1 wish to deny the statement men- tioned in Tuesday afternoon’s paper that 1, Mary E. King, know anything concerning same, and has never had any intention of marrying Walter anford. I knew nothing of the af- fair until yesterday and was utterly surprised, and I wish to state funher! out that if anything more comes about the affair I shall have to take other steps to stop circulation of same, as I have never had any thought of marriage to Walter San- ford and did not know that he did.
