Tha WalInn Gaze

OeluLOhy evening" Dneflu. white heard
that q warrant would soon be issued for
the arrest of Mrs. Walkup, provided she
was not taken from the house, He
therefore immediately procured car
riage and took Mrs. Walkup and her
mother to the court house. where the
sheriff and his family reslde. Mrs.
Walkup's trunks and clothing were also
removed, and she is now provided with
comfortable apartment down stairs
with the family and Is allowed all the
privileges Of free person except that
she cannot leave the house. Mrs. Walk
up, her friends and the officers are very
indignant at the report circulated yes
terdAy morning that she had been Incar-
cerated. The room up stairs which was
reported as hAYing been fixed up as her
cell Is simply used as her ward
robe. Shortly after Mrs. Walkup
was taken to the court house Major
Hood, as administrators of the Walkup
estate. ordered the house closed and as q
consequence the scene Of the great ex-
element the past ten days Is now q
place Of deep silence. Mrs. Wallace Is
now stopping near the Walkup residence
and Meesrs Judge Houston and e. Finly
are gusts at the Fifth Avenue. When the
news was circulated that Mrs. Walkup
had been taken to the court
house the excitement winch, during
the week, was at . high pitch,
was further increased. Sunday
morning came and tho excite
ment had not abated. Wherever people
met speculation in reference to the result
Of the chemical analysis and remarks
relative to the supposed Imprisonment
of Mrs. Walkup were INDUCED in.
An entirely false impression prevailed
to some extent on account of the circula-
latlon in the morning paper here yester-
day of somewhat careless statement, by
which many inferred that Major Hood
had ordered Mrs. Walkup from the house.
This impression was untrue, the admin
Istrator having taken no action IN re-
gard 70 the closing of the house until
Sheriff Wilhite had removed Mrs. Walk
up to the quarters Of the sherIff's family
at the court house, where he could more
satisfactorily obey the orders of the cor
oner. The removal Of the entire family
from the house thus required the action
OF the administrator in closing 1t against
all others.
AN INTERVIEW.
Sunday afternoon a NEWS representa-
tive called at the court house and found
Mrs. Walkup, her mother, Judge Hous-
ton, Mr.. Finley and William Willis in
the sherifrs sitting room In converse
ton. Mrs. Walkup aud the others
present Immediately expressed their In.
dignatiOn at the morning news
newspaper report that Mrs. Walk
up had been imprisoned. Mrs.
Walkup, IN response to an Interrogation,
replied, "If this is imprisonment much
prefer it to the quarters and surround
ings of the past few days"
Turning to Mrs. Wsllsce. the reporter
asked: "HOw do you regard the treat
ment Of your daughter in Emporia ?"
"Oh," said she, since my ARRIVAL here
have greatly altered my opinion IN re-
spect to my daughters treatment. Be-
fore left New Orleans a representative
OF the press called upon me and said :
They are sending horrible matter here
for publication from Emporis, 80 bad
that We cannot publish it, and besids
mobs of men are threatening violence
From this the impression was
spread that the people of EN-
poria were most heartless
and cruel people. On my arrival here 1
found that my daughter instead of being
treated as had imagined, was not only
comfortably provided for, but an object
OF public sympathy"
"Win you remain In Emporia until
after the trial should Mrs. Walkup be
bound over"
"No," replied Mrs Wallace. "after hav-
ing noticed the fairness with which my
daughter is treated 1 think shall re-
turn Tuesday or Wednesday"
During the interview q pathetic Incl
dent occurred which evidenced the deep
devotion of mother and daughter. A
party present drew from his pocket a
clipping from the 81. Louis Republican
containing pictured purported
TO be that Of Mrs. Wal
kup. The mother took the
clipping in her hand and fixed her eyes
upon the picture. For a moment she
gazed Indignantly upon the portrait and
then burst into tears The daughter, NOV
ed by the scene of her weeping mother,
FASTENED to her side, put her arms about
her mothers neck and impressed upon
her cheek passionate kiss.
WILLIS TO BE RELEASED.
Mrs. Wallace WAS greatly pleased yes
terday when she was Informed that her
nephew, William Willis, is soon to be
released. Mrs. Wallace says she has
cared for the boy from his childhood,
and to think that be and her daughter
were suspicioned OF so atrocious q crime
is almost more than she can bear. She
grIeved not so much over the fear of
the result of the trial as the
suspicion of the crime which she
said would follow her daughter through
out her entire life. Mrs. Walkup Is
greatly attached 10 her mother and
seems to care more for health and CON-
fort than for the suspicious circumstan-
ces which daTken her own future. Dur.
ing the day larger number of persons
called and rendered their sympathies to
Mrs. Wallace, which were always re-
celved with thanks. Mrs. Walkup, al.
though she know that the result of the
medical analysts would be made known
TO the public to-day, did not in any way
seem fearful, aud remained as composed
as at any time since the first accusation.
Before leaving the reporter called at
the room up stairs which Is
now occupied as her wardrobe
The apartment is about Sx16 feet,
with window TO the south, stouuy
barred with iron. The walls are cased
In galvanized iron, as is the ceiling; the
floor Is unexpected, but clean. The fur
niture consists of an iron bedstead, pro-
vided with a mattress, white bed spreads
and large pillows with embroidered
slips. Upon the bed were thrown q
graceful profusion of silk dresses and
plush sacques, with . quantity of rich
lace and other trimmings. A trunk,
chair and small stand completed the
furniture Of the room which may be-
come her cell.
