 An eyewitness described her in 1927 as dressed "in corduroy trousers, mining boots, and a torn soiled blouse ... [with] a blue bandana tied around her head", and went on to say that "her eyes were very far apart and a gorgeous blue".She wandered the streets of Leadville, rags on her feet, wearing a cross, and came to be known as a madwoman.Some who had been acquainted with her earlier thought she deserved to suffer for having broken up the marriage between Horace and Augusta, and believed that she had been the cause of his ruin.
