What the Attorney General Says About the
Issue of That Requisition.
A GLOBE reporte, bumped up against At
torney General Wilson, yesterday. An apol-
ogy and the compliments of the day followed
from both. The question of what's going
on naturally came up. AS the State official
got the word in first, he was informed that
Bill Kings paper was after him.
"They have been looking up your record
in the Frank-Burke affair."
Gin what respect?''
"First, they want to know if you are a
partner of Col. Kerr's. If so, they propose
to maze inquiries about the Campbell, Bur

chased from Campbell, Burbank & Co., at a
rate which ought to make them retail at $15

his case came before the Governor,
did not hesitate to recommend the issue of
the warrant; knowing as much as I did
about Franks conduct don't pretend to
say that would not have reflected and been
slow to have given similar advice had Frank
been a reputable business man. In fact,
would doubtless have advised delay or even a
refusal had the person who was wanted
been man of standing or any
ordinary criminal. But Franks affairs
were known to me, and I knew
him to have been guilty of all that he was
accused. don't go back on that warrant to
this day. I hold that the requisition from
Illinois was properly and legally issued, and
Gov. Pillsbury fully justified in issuing
his warrant. do not justify the manner in
which Frank was taken He was entitled to
hearing in the courts like any other person
accused, but that he was denied this does not
make the issue of the requisition wrong or
an injustice. That is my record and view of

Il CURIOUS CASE.

What is the Proper Allowance for the Sup
port of Woman.
The good that a man does lives after him,
and if it consists of worldly goods it leads a
very animated life after he's dead and gone.
There are innumerable instances of it with
out reverting to Vanderbilt's millions. St.
Paul has the shadow of such great substance,
which has been frightening out in quiet
way for a day or two.
The story runs that once upon time,
there were three brothers. They lived in
Detroit, Mich. One died, then another.
The remaining one accumulated much of
this worlds stores, and then passed away to
that boundless land. He left widow and
four children, two daughters and two sons.
His worldly Accommodations were left in
charge of three trustees, Elizabeth G. Brush,
the widow, VIM. G. Thompson, son-in-
law, and Alfred 3. Brush, a son. The es-
tate was reckoned to be worth 81, 100000.
Among the relatives left by deceased was an
orphaned niece, Jane Brush. The will
of Edward Brush charged and enjoined the
trustees to provide her with ''a suitable sup
port
The question now comes Up as to what is
ga suitable support?" And the interroga-
tory seems to have arisen in this way. For
some time after the death of her uncle, Miss
Jane Brush resided in Detroit, and drew
from the estate ga suitable support -
At any rate, if she didn't make
both ends meet, there was no expressed
complaint. Not long ago, and it isn't ma

The latest in the very remarkable Ether
idge transaction is letter from the abscond-

this document might be called a

of the charges against his Christian charac-
ter, which he might have obtained by having
the GLOBE regularly mailed to him. The
church has not deemed it important to frame
specific charges, and hence he cannot be ac-
commodated at present. His letter express
