Laura Heller, Back in Cigar
Factory, Accopts $100 Balm
Verdict, However
WILL JUST PUT IT IN BANK
CJad in a blp Mack rubber apron,
linjra Ileller, of Qusscrtowr.. plaintiff
In the $10,000 brcnoh of promlor milt,
ltft her tnbl.p In fJrnulcy's cigar fnctory
today ami talked a llttlf about the ver
dict Out a little while before had (riven
her $100 and routs, nt n recompense ror
twenty Tears of devotion to Erwln
"Yrs, I received tae news." unld MlM
Heller. "One hundred dollars Isn't very
snueh, Is It?" And n pathetic smile
crossed her fnce.
"1 can't sny what I think of It, or
what I expected. I don't know any
thlnfr about law case, nnd I had never
"been In ronrt before. Some of my
friends made guesies ai to what the
amount would be, but I didn't know if It
would be more than $10,000 or less,
Sorry She, Entered Suit
"One thine is sure: Had I known the
humiliations I was to suffer and the
embarrassments It would mean. Id
never have started procecdins. My
friends are to blame for it : they urged
me to enter suit. They meant it as a
kindness, though : not to make me suf
fer more. .... ,
"No, I haven t cried, only once ; and
1 gue,is that was mure from anger than
because T was hurt. -. .
"What w'U 1 do with the $100? lut
it in bank. I guess If there is any
left after 1 pay my lawyer.
"I don't make much money, anil only
today we were told of a cut in our
wages. This will make n difference of $.1
n every thousand cigars we make.
"I rarar to work today because ray
wunsel advUed it. He thought my mind
would be less occupied with the case.
I guesa he was right."
Efforts were first made to see Miss
Heller at her home. 121G Broad street,
and there it wn learned that she had
gone back to work.
A Drab Atmosphere
The verv Ijouse bespoke the atmos
phere in -Heh this woman has led a
drab existence. , , , , ,
Willi i.n shutter tightly bowed,
and the front entrance held sacred for
Sunday uage alone, the expanse ef her
vwrld has been limited indeed.
Drudserj in these surroundings in
the. earlv morning, and then n long wall;
to the cigar factory to sit at a table
nntH dark.has been Miss Heller's day
time for twenty years.
Night alwova meant &e onu gleam of
light in her life. Night brought Krwin
Hlllegas, brought him for twenty
year, and then brought him no more.
This is the woman who was fearful
to see an intruder at the factory, be
cause "It might be Erv.'
"I didn't know why he might come
here, but I thought maybe U was Krv.
Do you think he will bring the $100?"
Miss iteller asked, "because I don t
want to sec him," she added with
fin'1''' . .. Mr I
1 .e lived here all my life, and ex
pect to stay here. I m not ashamed
of my part In this affair, but maybe Erv
will want tn move."
Several time Miss Heller insisted
that it wann't the money hhe wanted
to much as the vindication, expressed
rather crudely by, "Well I showed him
np. didn't I ,"
