sometime runs. and-ihe trial on Wednes-
day did not differ materially from that of Mon
day. Charles Henry INDUCED in few mali
cious filings at the people collectively. and
stated that he nerer! NEVER NEVER
would be married by the parties specified by
law as competent authority TO ratify the mar
riage contract. 1T was degrading to his
manhood to think Of it,! He would bow to
no fa~ning. hyPocritical. thieving priest;
no drunken. mercenary justice" nor corrup,
judge for the " senseiess" words IL pro-
no'ince you man and wife''! lie lived in ad
vance of the age! Future generations would
look upon him as a martyr and reverence his
memory. lie did not expect disciples from
among the people of Olympia. for they were
totally incapable Of approaching the sublime
truths which found Tod gment in his breast.
The people of Olympia teach morality! ex-
claimed he; why. have taught more NOR
,li,y in the short space have scjourned with
Won than all your priests and ministers have
in the past ten wears! Heaven deliver us
from such morality
Before rendering n decision. Justice Nc.
Gill said that he should ask the def. question
which would materially bear upon his final
decision. "Do you," said the Justice. consent
TO take this woman as your welded wife!"
II do" replied the defendant. unhesitatingly.
".and do YOU" asked the Justice Of the blush.
ing partner" "conscnt to take this man MS your
lawful husband" "Ycs." was the reply.
Then" coolly remarked the Justice, "by
the power vested in me, and in the presence
of these witnesses, pronounce YOU man and
wife according to law!
"If you've ever seen a halstorm,
Thunder and lightning both included,)
If you've seen the brinv ocean,
When the waves in high commotion,
Rise like unto snow-capped mountains"
Then, reader. you may form an idea of the
tempest Of establishment and rage which filled
the brenst of Charles Henry, when the SEN
tence was pronounced "You can't come
that dodge over me; deny your authority"
he shouted frantically; but he was brought to
take reasonable view of the matter by an
intima,ion from the court that if he INDUCED"
in such "wlims" he should commit him for
contempt.
The justice decided that as the evidence
failed to prove that one of the parties did not
at the time the matrimonial contract was
made consider it bona tide marriage and
that as the parties were NOR joined in lawful
wedlock, the charge be no. sustained-costs to
be paid by the defendant. Thus ended the
case. Charles Henry mas married by JUS
tce, and his "Freeove" career uas suddenly
brought to close.

This policy will have the effect of throwing
