Boucicault tells another good story witch
has never yet appeared in print. The fol-
lowing incident occurred at jack ouHlle,
Florida. last spring, and the clever actor
draniatist says il suggested an entirely new
idea in dramatic construction. which he pro.
poses to avail himself of some day. The cur

"The Colleen Bawn" when tall professer-
like individual advanced 10 the 'front.' of one

A correspondent Of the Inter Ocean gives
the following In an article dated Jan. 1.
relative to the Emma Bond Outrage case
which has attracted the attention of the
entire country: "It is not generally known
that the Bonds are related by MARI age to
the Montgomerys, as everybody in this
section of the State appears to be, and the
fact has never been made public. One
reason given fer the manner in which
mysterious features were developed in this
case was the fact that nearly all OF the in
terested parties were related in some way
TO the Montgomerys. The Bonds were sup
posed to be the only ones not connected
with them even in the remotest degree. 1t
now appears that "Sonny" Bond, who
committed suicide at Taylorville on Tues
day, aa,. Who Is cousin OF Emma Bonds
father, was brother-in- law Of Lewis
Montgomery. 1t is said that the ties Of
relationship have prevented the unearthing
OF large number of facts which would
shed a glaring light upon this still most
mysterious case.
