pos,d criminal owed Tidcn debt OF s2,sp,
and before moving in the criminal action
AGAINST his relative he first desired to obtain
the money by law and to so far cripple him IN
his financial resources that this relative % ms
would not nc able 10 successfully light Tie
matter in the court, when he had him arrest
cd for an attempt at murder.
| A little Of the inside history OF this case may
no, prove unintcrcsting at this iuncturc'
Some years ago he daughter Of The de'eud'
ant in this suit was married, and the son-ln'
law moved upon farm of ~ acres OF lana
owned nv this man Tildcn. which farm was
| hut a short distance from the residence of the
latter. The land was bestowed az sort Of
marriage endoxmcnt 10 the bride, which Was
TO be willed to her upon the fathers death
At the time Of getting possession OF The farm
Tilden induced the sOn-inlaw 10 sign note
for $1,000. His reasons for getting the noh
signed were, he raid, that the son-in Ia"
would remain upon the farm and improve IT,
but IT seems that the cunning old rogue sas
only waiting for a chance TO Let him sccumu
late the amount of the note, when he would
lay his avaricious grasp upon II. when tht
Spring Valley Coal Company was organized
Tilden sold the coal right underlying this
Hand, and upon being demonstrated with by
/ the SOD in.law, he declared tia. the land Va,
his and that he intended to do as he pleased
with il. The former, during the yeas he held
the place had ama.sed considerable personal
property, such a. live stock, etc. and this, TO-
gether with all The produce raised on The
farm, was attached By Tildcn. He also at the
same time induced hs daughter 70 sue for a
divorce, and in this manner broke mp once
happy home and hlightcd its prospects. To
day the son-in law, through the vile machina
tons and disgraccful conduct Of Tildcn, it
without a home, and his wife secured hill Of
divorce on the same day in the county court
here that her father was defeated in the cir
cult court
