Besides
,
because
of
what
the
newspapers
had
said
of
her
coming
east
to
aid
her
son
and
the
picture
that
she
herself
presented
in
her
homely
garb
,
it
was
assumed
by
most
ministers
that
she
was
one
of
those
erratic
persons
,
not
a
constituent
of
any
definite
sect
,
or
schooled
theology
,
who
tended
by
her
very
appearance
to
cast
contempt
on
true
and
pure
religion
.
And
in
consequence
,
each
in
turn
--
not
hardening
his
heart
exactly
--
but
thinking
twice
--
and
deciding
no
--
there
must
be
some
better
way
--
less
troublesome
to
Christians
--
a
public
hall
,
perhaps
,
to
which
Christians
,
if
properly
appealed
to
through
the
press
,
might
well
repair
.
And
so
Mrs.
Griffiths
,
in
all
but
one
instance
,
rejected
in
that
fashion
and
told
to
go
elsewhere
--
while
in
regard
to
the
Catholics
--
instinctively
--
because
of
prejudice
--
as
well
as
a
certain
dull
wisdom
not
inconsistent
with
the
facts
--
she
failed
even
to
so
much
as
think
of
them
.
The
mercies
of
Christ
as
interpreted
by
the
holder
of
the
sacred
keys
of
St.
Peter
,
as
she
knew
,
were
not
for
those
who
failed
to
acknowledge
the
authority
of
the
Vicar
of
Christ
.
And
therefore
after
many
days
spent
in
futile
knockings
here
and
there
she
was
at
last
compelled
--
and
in
no
little
depression
,
to
appeal
to
a
Jew
who
controlled
the
principal
moving
picture
theater
of
Utica
--
a
sinful
theater
.
And
from
him
,
this
she
secured
free
for
a
morning
address
on
the
merits
of
her
son
's
case
--
"
A
mother
's
appeal
for
her
son
,
"
it
was
entitled
--
which
netted
her
,
at
twenty
-
five
cents
per
person
--
the
amazing
sum
of
two
hundred
dollars
.
At
first
this
sum
,
small
as
it
was
,
so
heartened
her
that
she
was
now
convinced
that
soon
--
whatever
the
attitude
of
the
orthodox
Christians
--
she
would
earn
enough
for
Clyde
's
appeal
.
It
might
take
time
--
but
she
would
.
Nevertheless
,
as
she
soon
discovered
,
there
were
other
factors
to
be
considered
--
carfare
,
her
own
personal
expenses
in
Utica
and
elsewhere
,
to
say
nothing
of
certain
very
necessary
sums
to
be
sent
to
Denver
to
her
husband
,
who
had
little
or
nothing
to
go
on
at
present
,
and
who
,
because
of
this
very
great
tragedy
in
the
family
,
had
been
made
ill
--
so
ill
indeed
that
the
letters
from
Frank
and
Julia
were
becoming
very
disturbing
.
It
was
possible
that
he
might
not
get
well
at
all
.
Some
help
was
necessary
there
.
And
in
consequence
,
in
addition
to
paying
her
own
expenses
here
,
Mrs.
Griffiths
was
literally
compelled
to
deduct
other
reducing
sums
from
this
,
her
present
and
only
source
of
income
.
It
was
terrible
--
considering
Clyde
's
predicament
--
but
nevertheless
must
she
not
sustain
herself
in
every
way
in
order
to
win
to
victory
?
She
could
not
reasonably
abandon
her
husband
in
order
to
aid
Clyde
alone
.
Yet
in
the
face
of
this
--
as
time
went
on
,
the
audiences
growing
smaller
and
smaller
until
at
last
they
constituted
little
more
than
a
handful
--
and
barely
paying
her
expenses
--
although
through
this
process
none-the-less
she
finally
managed
to
put
aside
--
over
and
above
all
her
expenses
--
eleven
hundred
dollars
.
Yet
,
also
,
just
at
this
time
,
and
in
a
moment
of
extreme
anxiety
,
Frank
and
Julia
wiring
her
that
if
she
desired
to
see
Asa
again
she
had
better
come
home
at
once
.
He
was
exceedingly
low
and
not
expected
to
live
.
Whereupon
,
played
upon
by
these
several
difficulties
and
there
being
no
single
thing
other
than
to
visit
him
once
or
twice
a
week
--
as
her
engagements
permitted
--
which
she
could
do
for
Clyde
,
she
now
hastily
conferred
with
Belknap
and
Jephson
,
setting
forth
her
extreme
difficulties
.
And
these
,
seeing
that
eleven
hundred
dollars
of
all
she
had
thus
far
collected
was
to
be
turned
over
to
them
,
now
,
in
a
burst
of
humanity
,
advised
her
to
return
to
her
husband
.
Decidedly
Clyde
would
do
well
enough
for
the
present
seeing
that
there
was
an
entire
year
--
or
at
least
ten
months
before
it
was
necessary
to
file
the
record
and
the
briefs
in
the
case
.
In
addition
another
year
assuredly
must
elapse
before
a
decision
could
be
reached
.
And
no
doubt
before
that
time
the
additional
part
of
the
appeal
fee
could
be
raised
.
Or
,
if
not
--
well
,
then
--
anyhow
(
seeing
how
worn
and
distrait
she
was
at
this
time
)
she
need
not
worry
.
Messrs.
Belknap
and
Jephson
would
see
to
it
that
her
son
's
interests
were
properly
protected
.
They
would
file
an
appeal
and
make
an
argument
--
and
do
whatever
else
was
necessary
to
insure
her
son
a
fair
hearing
at
the
proper
time
.
And
with
that
great
burden
off
her
mind
--
and
two
last
visits
to
Clyde
in
which
she
assured
him
of
her
determination
to
return
as
speedily
as
possible
--
once
Asa
was
restored
to
strength
again
and
she
could
see
her
way
to
financing
such
a
return
--
she
now
departed
only
to
find
that
,
once
she
was
in
Denver
once
more
,
it
was
not
so
easy
to
restore
him
by
any
means
.
