tanning control of Miss Crute's estate.
The prospect of losing that alarms them,
and the frequent reconciliatiOnS and
forgivings are based upon their recOg-
milton of the fact that Miss Crute's
money will enable them to live and pro-
vide for their children. The salve that
heals their shattered hearts every time
is Sally'S cash. Dependence upon that
support seems to have weakened their
moral sense and Obliterated self-respect
and sense of honor. Fear of their in
port their children has demoralized
them, judging by the correspondence,
and they make a pitiable exhibition OF
weakness and folly. The intersection
of conventional piety into the letter pro-
duceS a grotesque effort when contrast
ed with the general purport OF the docu-
mentS.
Throu2 h0ut the interview Mrs. Car
lille wept with facility and recovered her
compOSure with equal ease. Neverthe-
less her story was calculated to arouse
sympathy, even for her weakness, and
to convince the average listener that w.
ID. Garlic was very wicked man. That
conviction is firmly fixed in the minds
of Mr.. and Mrs. Cornwall and many
others, who harbor very bitter feelings
against Garlic and Miss Crute. The
latter left Napa last Sunday and went to
Mendoclno county.
THE HUSBANDS STORY.
After the interview with Mrs. Garlic
the Examiner man called upon Mr.. Car
lies attorney to inquire if anything was
to be learned of that side Of the case.
Mr.. Garlic was present, and said that
he was ready to tell his story. There
had been some correspondence in the
local paper, and the whole story might
as well be told. He said:
Il married Miss Foster after seeing
her only three times. The night before
the wedding, in consequence of certain
things told me, l called Miss Foster and
her parents into q room and Informed
them that | did not love her well enough
to marry her. That was the only reason
| could give them, of course. They in
sisted that should marry her, because
the cards were out and it would cause
scandal to break off the match. So |
weakly backed down and was married.
Passing over the first ten years of our
married life. during which time con-
slant association produced the affection
that was lacking at first, | will come di-
rectly to this affair. 70 begin with, |

than that, | Solemnly declare that if
there ever was anything between that
young girl and myself Mrs. Garlic knew
it. If our relations ever were illicit
Mrs. Garlic knew all about it and never
made any objection. But L deny that
such was the case.
''It was Mrs. Cariile's idea that we
should take the girl into our
family. She urged the plan and argued
that we could so manage the property
rs to make living for ourselves as well
as for Sally. We went to California
with her consent. She urged me to
take Sally along. When | returned,
after the publication of the Times ar
ticle, Mrs. Garlic was in terrible state
of mind over the attack upon her own
honor, and insisted that 1 should seek
personal accounting with the editor. l
had no intention of attacking him for
what he said about me. But my wife
declared that Dr.. Mnnford had treated
her cruelty, and she kept driving into
my ears that it was my duty to avenge
the assault upon her.
Il demanded retractiOn of what had
been said about my wife and it was re-
him with pistol. She kissed me good

through the window and fired again.
As got back upon the car [ fired once
more, and then, seeing DR.. MunfOrd be

another shot. He seemed to wilt, and L

around the car and was arrested.
THE BAIL MONEY.
''While / was in jail my wife came to
see me, kissed my hands through the
bars and wept and called me endearing
names. She showed me ticket Of de-
post for $500 belonging to Miss Crute,
and told me that she had got that to bail
me out. told her not to use it. Two
of my friends went bail for me, taking
as security the proceeds of sale of some
of my Kansas City property. Miss
Crute'S money was not used for my
bail, but it was used for other purposes
by Mrs. Garlic.
when the case was ended, and had
settled with the people | had shot, |
had the rest of my property decided to
my wife to keep it away from any
creditors, expecting her to deed it back
later. If did not live with her on terms
of harmony after that, she knows why.
1t was not on account of Miss Crute.
''She knew when Miss Crute was liv-
ing in Chicago, and visited her at her
hotel. She was always afraid that Sally
might leave us, and when Sally'S mother
came to Evanston to take her away,
after all our troubles and scandal, it
was Mrs. Garlic who pictured to Sally
the brilliant social prospects before her
if she remained with us, and drove the
poor, old, ignorant mother from our
door.
"Whcn | came out here to look for
home Mrs. Garlic began to fear that we
were losing our hold on Sally, and i'll
April she wrote me letter in which she
proposed that we should get divorced
and should marry Miss Crute. This
turn of affairs alarmed me and [ hast
ened home. She greeted me affection
ately, and, much to my surprise, said
very little about her proposition. In
May, however, we concluded to Separ-
ate, and drew up an agreement to that
effect, by the terms of which gave her
all my property.
A REMARKABLE DOCUMENT.
''To show what our feelings were and
what was i'll our hearts at this time, let
me read to you another agreement
drawn up the same day, May 10, 1887"
Here Garlic produced the two agree
ments, signed by himself and wife. The
second was most Singular document.
1t began with a long preamble about
the great burden of sorrow borne
by the couple, about their breaking
hearts and their love for each other, and

ment, for the information of their chill
dren, OF matters which might otherwise
look as though they had been unable to
live together by reason of lack of affec-
ton. In this paper the husband
and wife say that they separate
and get divorced solely for the purpose
of providing for their children; that
their love and affection is not impaired
by the divorce: and they agree to love
and cherish one another through life. to
correspond regularly, to visit each other
