ELLIS SIDE.
The Ciriggsville Independent, OF May 4,
contains the following
MIR. Ellis is either much
abused man. not To- say outrageously abus-
eel, or he H. villain of no mean degree.
As the case will come up for trial. We
have no desire To publish anything that
will tend tn thwart justice, but as matter
of Justice to the accused, We will give Ellis
side oi the story, as told us last
Thursday, to-wit: That in 1877 one
Rothchild committed murder i'm Texas,
and the most important witness for
the rich murderer was a woman of I'M
savOry character. She did not want TO
appear at the trial, and escaped. Ellis
was employed To- find her, and IKE her To
Texas, where she could I've attached and
compelled TO testify. He found her, after
a long search, at indianapolis, Ind, and
on representation that he was out on a
lark, and would like To have the woman
take a pleasure trip to Denver, she as
sented, on condition that they would go
via Sedalia. where the woman had sis
ter whom she wished to visit Jew DAYS.
THEY WENT To sEDALIA.
where they remained three DAYS. and then
departed for Denver ~. AT Kansas CITY
Ellis bought tickets ior Texas, and board
ing the train at night, got her To Denison
Texas, before she knew where she was
and an attachment a. u witness in the
murder case was served ON her. The
woman was enraged because she had been
entrapped, and swore vengeance on Ellis
which the latter alleges she is now en-
deavoring To reap, aided by the Sedalia
Bazoo, ct al. Mr. Ellis saws he has not,
nor never has had, wife, and We anxiotIslv
await hearing the legal evidence TO dis
prove his statement. BE- fair, and con-
denim no man without hearing.
Well, MIR. Ellis is base villain and the
above l. new story without u semblance
of truth and Is concocted from whole
cloth Tor the occasion.
Again, in 1877, i'm travelling from Kan
sa> City To DenisOn, Texas, passengers
were compelled TO change cars at Fort
Scott Junction or at Sedalia, while the
idea that Ellis endeavOred to convey to
the writer of the above is that a through
train was run between the two cities.
So much Tor the above, which has been
published in our Griggsville cOtemporary
no doubt, as the manager thinks, IN JUS
tice to one assaulted.
MARRIAGE MOCKERY.
Ellis, in conversation with the good
people of Pike county, now admits the
the marriage at Kansas City, June 80,
1873, but saws il was mock marriage"
Where on the green earth Il there a
baser villain than he who would deceive a
lady BY mock marriage ceremony? Al
ter this spurious marriage, as he calls 1t,
they returned TO this city, and afterward
went to California, Mo-, where daughter
was born To them. and the child named
George" III honor of her father, who now
his own flesh and blood.
Again they returned to Sedalia, and Mrs.
Ellis ked, sewing and supported
Ellis and the child until he aband oned
her.

showing up this miserable and NANCY dog,
who is a disgrace TO his own tea>.
Mrs Ellis Is now in a neighborlng town
to Sedalia, working, sewing To sus-
tain life and support her child. Her adj
dress will be given to any one who desires
to investigate this matter.
swEAR> OFT ANOTHER WARRANT.
On Thursday last Ellis swore out a
states warrant, at Pittstield, Illinois,
the manager OF the BAzoo with
Grimm Al libel, and the document was placed
i'm the hands of an officer To execute.
Well. now, that is good place to swear
out a warrant.
Why don't the much injured ~ wretch
come to Sedalia and swear out his war
rant? Here !, where the otiense has been
and where the party offending
is amenable To the law?
