"We were both out last night and didn't get back 'till after 11 o'clock but we were here when the reporter came out to the house to see Mrs. Copelin." "Whom do you mean by 'we'?" she was asked. "Why, me'n the other maid!" Swathed in bandages, on his cot in a ward in the hospital, Quigley said he would not talk about the affair. "Of course you saw the story in the morning paper and that it. con nected the name of Mr. Copelin with the shooting?" Quigley was asked. "Yes —but that was very much ex aggerated, I will say that. Why, I wasn't near the Copelin house." "Where were you?" "Why, in Fourteenth street." "Who did shoot you, Mr. Quigley ?" "Really, I don't know. I don't know who shot me. All I know is that I was attacked—held up." Mrs. Quisle) Has Her Story Mrs. Quigley was equally reticent, although she too had her story. "Do you know where Mr. Quigley was last night?' she was asked. "Well, he left home with the inten tion of attending a meeting of some organization in connection with the railroaders, so he told me." "Did you talk to Mr. Quigley about the story of the shooting that ap peared in the morning papers in which the Copelins were connected?" "Yes, I went up to the hospital and talked to him this morning. Now, I don't want to say anything—not until I see what develops, and then maybe I'll have something to say at the proper time." "You have your suspicions as to who did shoot your husband?" "Well, 1 guess I have!" Mrs. Quigley Smiles When asked if she knew whether Mr. Copelin was in town in view of the stories to the effect that he was at Gretna, she smiled. "Of course he was in town." Mrs. Quigley paused and smiled again, "and, of course, It wasn't her." "But," Mrs. Quigley broke off, "why don't they arrest the guilty party? Dont they know who it is? Well, well, that seems very funny." VEW DESTROYER LAUNCHED By Associated Press Philadelphia. Aug. 19.—The tor pedo boat destroyer Nicholson was launched from the Cramr shipyard in thiß city to-day.
