and you can see him at the Palmer house.
l can't see what possible object he could
have in divulging this thing, which has
been kept so very quiet for more than
six months. will say only this, that there
is something ein what you have told me
something. If I said more Mr.. Wilson
might suppose that the public divulge-
ment of the case came through me. It
certainly did not. / cannot think that
Mr.. Wilson would be so utterly regardless
of his own interests as to rush into print.
not indeed unless he was mad.
"In regard to Mr.. Wilson's course in
Minneapolis, should say that in all prob
ability he became gradually enamored of
another woman than his wife, and that
then he felt home to be irksome."
"What kind of a lady is Mrs. Wilson,"
"Oh, she is as perfect lady and as true
woman as you ever saw. Not shadow of
suspicion could rest on her for a moment.
She has remained IN the same house. with
her husband, but it is barely possible that
she has done so for purpose, not to be
driven away, as it were."
"Do you know the name of the st. Paul
merchant whose wife's name has been as
sociated with Mr.. Wilson's?"
'FYes, do; but as said before, 1 cannot.
in my capacity as legal adviser, allow N.Y.
self to give you any information. What
ever might do were it my case, 1 am
not at liberty to speak. I shall endeavor
tomorrow TO learn how you got your in
formation. I am bewildered at the thought
that Mr.. Wilson would discuss the matter
for the public benefit, AID will not for a
moment believe that my clients have given
voice to it, either directly or indirectly.
It's premature-too bad"
WHAT THE BROT2ERs SAY,
Mr.. Sam. B. Davis resides in marble
mansion upon Aldine square. He had re-
tired when the reporter arrived, but upon
learning the topic upon which an inter
view was desired with him, he arose. and
leaning over a banister, said: ''Idon't want
to say anything about Mr.. Wilson Or his
affairs at all. My brother has been attend
ing to that case. and not l. You 90 and
see him."
Mr.. VIM. Il. Davis had likewise retired
when the reporter at late hour found his
door bell. He was not in good humor for
a midnight interview; shat is, he was not
until told the subject matter and such
othor scs tered facts as benumbed reporter
could voice from . front door up to a
night-Gapped head peering from a window
directly overhead. Mr.. Davis dressed and
came down. He said IN substance.
Il am very sorry, sorry oeyond anything
that can express, thai this family matter
has been divulged. Who can have done il,
and for what purpose, I cannot conjecture.
l am really not in condition to talk about
the matter. 1t is so very unfortunate. No,
Mr.. Wilson never could have told it. He is
a careful. prudent man. The publication
weuld injure his business, and he has
always been very jealous of his reputation.
have positively nothing to say about this
matter. 1 cannot. 1t would be extremely
unjust to Mr.. Wilson did 1 admit
anything. Remember l do not now
do so. 1 simply say that 1 have nothing
to say. L cannot see what good the pub
Hcation of this matter will do anyone, and
perhaps it may do 10. harm. The thing is
not ready yet for the pablo, for no legal
steps have been taken. The matter is in
just such state that the public has no
concern with it whatever. If anything
does come of it, If any law is resorted to,
then for one will not shrink from the
publicity which is sure TO follow. | can
brave that but not now, notnow. Possibly
IN day or two something may transpire."
'Have you seen Mr.. Wilson within day
or two?'
''NO, have been i'll for several days and
not down town much. 1 knew that he
was in the city. Yes, ne came down with
reference to this matter, that is, he may
have. He has been to see my brother-in-
law, Mr.. Bogardus, but not me''
Mr.. Davis seemed considerably affected
by the suddenness with which he was called
upon to talk of something which he sup
posed was an absolute secret and repeated
many times over with great earnestness
his resolve to say nothing and yet he con-
tinued to talk of the sub
ject with earnestness and was
10th evidently to have the reporter
leave. He made request that the whole
matter be suppressed, temporarily at least.
He asked this chiefly in justice to Wilson,
and not on behalf of his sister. At late
hour last night itSSwss learned that Mr..
Wilson had returned to the Palmer house,
but an attempt to see him proved fruitiess.
It vas also ascertained that he had engaged
the services OF a well known firm of law
yers in this city to look after his interests
in connection with his legal advisers in
Minneapolis.
