TIE case OF Mrs. ada ". Haynes differs In
maDy rtepecls from the former ones, and Is

cause, having CONF here in violation Of or
dels. aud accomplished probably AL sha

co1umodated than to he sent back. Her case
Is one OF this character:
During the spring of 1903 sho WAS one OF
number Who, tor general disloJA conduct
Aud mtacbttVous practices, were punished
South BY Provost Marshal General Dick, uu-
der orders from the War Department, at
the time she 1Fas thus Ia pIshed there Is ample
evidence at hand showing that She hailed the
banishu4ent with joy and delight. After
being there Tor some length OF time She ~ lde
up her mind to come back. and accordingly
Started of to st. Louis and arrived here the
I last week In March last. In her statement,
1 {.
/ says she brought with her about $500 In Con
| ftdera.e nonet, and exchanged 1t for Coy
eminent currency before she penetrated the
Federal lines; that she did not r,port at
| Memphis, but obtained pass from tue Pro-
vost Marshal there TO Catro-how or in what
not askcd for pass on the way up to St,
Louis; that she brought no written Of verbal
communications to any one.
She ayows, further in that statement. her

tiance OF It, would perhaps be entitled t
