town was in the habit of helping Andy to dispose 
of his roots, for which service Andy curried his bene- 
factor's hwse. One morning Andy sent Goldie to this man to 
see if he would not advance him some money. He wrote two 
notes, one of them marked with a cross so that Goldie, who 
could not read, would not get them confused. She forgot 
about the mark and handed out the first note which read 
thus, ‘‘Send me a quart or a pint, I don't care which." The 
kind gentleman told her that she had evidently come to the 
wrong place whereupon she handed him the second note, which 
read as follows, “Send me a quarter or a half-dollar, I don't 
care which." 
Louis McHaley, the only living son of Goldie, is a queer 
sort of a boy. He is very bashful and when cornered acts as 
if frightened. He works regularly, sweeping out the local 
moving-picture show. 
Frank McHaley, the third child of Luke, born in 1874, is 
feeble-minded, alcoholic, and tongue-tied. He has twice been 
in the Southeastern Hospital for the Insane. He is said to be 
a homo-sexual prostitute. The psychiatrist at the hospital 
says that the examination of the patient “shows more of a 
psychopathic personality of a born criminal type and a degen- 
eracy of morals". He is reported from there as filthy, pro- 
fane, talkative, noisy, cheerful, violent at times, destructive, 
homicidal, hysterical, and of no judgment. 
Frank's first wife, Mildred Terry, was a “holy terror". 
She was insane, licentious, alcoholic, and criminal. For many 
years she was confined in the Southeastern Hospital from 
which place the psychiatrist sends the following report : “Deaf, 
cannot read, modest, is inclined to laugh and joke rather ex- 
citedly, is oriented for place, person, and probably for time, is 
religious, train of thought is spontaneous, rate is normal, no 
flight of ideas, mental grasp is difficult, poor judgment, and no 
hallucinations or delusions." Before she was known to be 
insane, she was considered to be a dangerous woman. She 
had a mania for setting fire to any building to which she 
might have access. Once when she was spending the night 
with the Amos Franklin family, Violet awoke to find her 
bending over her with an open knife. At another time when 
being arrested, she stabbed a policeman and shot at the sheriff. 
She died at the Hospital for the Insane in the spring of 1919.
