Kennedy of Hoboken doesn't profess much alarm the loms of any money in the of promige suit which has been brought against him in Jersey City by Catherine Gilhenry, or Kate Leniie, an alleged teacher of the one- step and fox trot in Manhattan, The null wow filed yesterday and the law- yers of Miss Leslie wanted the Post- muster to put up & bond of $20,000 te that he wouldn't run away from Hoboken pending the sutt ” got & emile out of the good. natured Postmaster, who haw lived in the Jersey town for more t thirty yours and has a home there and « wife and ten children, Judge Camp- Dell couldn't see the necessity of the Dik bond ond named $6,000 as the Himit Randolph Perkins, the Post- master's attorney, demanded that the worn put up a bond to cover the ex- pense of the trial t bond had not been put up this morning. “I won't say that [| don't feel this thing keenly,” said Mr. Kennody this morning 1 do, 1 have no fear of tho outcome of the suit, I know that J will win it and that I will be fully vindicated, In the position I occupy in the community I feel naturally humiliated, I do, because of the tem- porary smirch on me as Postntaster, but, above all things, because of my Tamily, Ihave lived In Hoboken near- ly all my life, and my family of ten ehildry nine girls and a boy—has grown up here WIFE AND TEN CHILDREN AR= WITH HIM. “But let me say at the start, my wife and my family are absolutely with md This suit has not shaken their faith one little bit. As for the Leslio woman, or whatever her name is, L met her once. I have never given her a cent of money, and I never will, if t were a single man I could Jaugh a! the suit, because her grounds are veally funny, More than two years ago 1 went to New York one night with “Dgo" Peters on a business en- gagement, He said, after the business was over, that he vinted to meet a ludy friend of his, Miss Leslie, or Miss Gilhenry, was ly. the She had a woman friend with her and we went to dinner to a restaurant. ‘Doc’ told me that Miss Leslie was an actress. She said that ele had a daneing school, I gathered from what she said afterward that she would like to have me back her. 1 told her that 1 would have to think about it, but I had no intentions of thinking about it. As I remember her, she was a woman of about thirty- five, rather pleasing in appearance, but 1 would not know her now if I were to run into her. Incidentally, Peters told her that | was Postmaster of Hoboken and was weil to do, He also told her that 1 was married and had ten children, “The women left the restaurant be- fore we did and that was the last 1 ever saw of Miss Leslie. [got several fetters from her, after that, asking me to call and see her, but 1 paid no at- tention to the letters nor to her either. ‘Then, about three months after I had met her, 1 got a note from her telling me to meet her in the Hotel McAlpin and bring $250 with me. I paid no attention to that note either, I couldn't see why | should give her 250 or any other sum.
