                   GIRL WHO DIED FOR HER HONOR HAD INSURANCE

It developed yesterday that Lucy Carter, the 16-year-old girl who was found in 
an East Main Street house suffering from exposure and who subsequently died, had 
some little insurance on her life. This will be taken care of by the 
superintendent of the Union mission.
"The report that Lucy Carter was an unchaste girl," said Mr. Ashley yesterday, 
"is a base falsehood. It was a pity that such a young girl should have died from 
neglect. She told me on her dying bed that rather than sacrifice her honor she 
fled from a certain house and took refuge in the house where she contracted the 
illness which resulted in her death.
"They can say nothing against that poor girl. Her honor was at stake and she 
fought a fight that cost her her life. She went to her maker a pure woman."
