St. Louis April g." Tho Sunday POStDispach'
will Tomorrow print interviews politics with 500
women In different parts Of Missouri These Inter.
Views show that while Missouri IS Democratic at
every election. tho majority OF women interviewed
are Republican In their sympathios. Only few arc
Prohibltonsts and not twenty in the 500 favor full
woman suffrage. but number would be glad to vote
on license aud school questions. One woman, who,
with her mother aud sister, pays the taxes Of an
entire ward In town, cannot understand the justice
Of taxation without representation. Their Ideal
statesmen are ingalls,. Conklng, Bayard, Vest and
Window. Ona lady says:
Frances Folsom Cleveland Is the greatest states
man of the day.
A lady I'm Rolla says that President Harrison's
Cabinet Is good with exception, Proctor and she

To SUE FOE HEB REWARD.

Chicago, April GA novel suit has Just been de-
clded by Judge Clifford, after litigation last1Eg
several years In different courts. The case was that
Of Sorosa s. Alexander elderly spinster OF BraHe-
boro VT against the estate Of E. s. Alexander, hcr
brother wealthy Chlcagoani now dead The lifga-
ton grew out Of alleged breaches Of agreements made
by Alexander with his sister upward Of twenty years

Massachusetts, cities, she at the time Of making the

offered TO pay hor 81 600 year, or as much as she
could by teaching music II she would assume tho
care Of the old folks. She accepted, and for num-
Der Of years took Of themS About three or four
years before the death OF her brother Miss Alexander
was about be married, when he wrote TO her. urg-
ing her not to marry and not 10 leave her parents, but
to stay with them, lie agreed to pay her an addi-
tonal $40 900 II she would remain with her parents as
long they lived With this promise before her tho
wedding declared of. Miss Alex ander cared for her
father and mother in their declining years. The old
people are still alive.
Alexander did not even keep his promise to pay his
sister the 900 year he had agreed TO pay her, and
except few small sums OF money which she used

she received nothing. Alexander made no provision
in his win for the payment of the 81 900 year, or

In motion for trial, Judge CLIFFORD decides tA@t
the plaintiff not legally entitled to the rec 1vefy OF
the 100000 because her part Of tho contract had not
been fulfilled and could not be until the death OF her
parents. Were sho to be paid this amount there
would be nothing to prevent her from leaving her
parents at once Tho balance Of her elam tho court
held, was valid and, after dednoting $14poS, the
$4,000 with legal interest which the Jury had In
ciude in their verdict entered judgment against the
estate for S26,S47.

Counsel for the Defendants Make an Ex-
PLANTATION.
WASHINGTON, December oath. - Delegate
Mark Smith, of Arizona, is in the CITY and on
being shown a synopsis OF the report made to
the Acknowledgement by the District Attorney
of Arizona concerning the trial OF the persons
accused of robbing Paymaster Wham of $4,000
on the road from Fort Grant to For Thomas,
said: 81 defended the accused, and am sur
prised that the attorneys for the prosecution
could have distorted the case as reported in the
Star of this date. The report is due to a bitter
prejudice engeudered by a long and hotiy con
tested trial, rather than any intention of mis-
representation by the honorable gentlemen en-
gagged in the pro 7ecuti0n.
''The real facts of the case are that the Pay
ma. ter was surpri. ed by party of armed rob-
bers, his escort was fred on and his money
taken. The escort was colored soldiers and
could give no description of the robbers
Finally, the men just acquitted were one by
one arrested without any evidence and brought
in chains before the escort, who claimed to
identity them.
"At The preliminary trial not one Of the sol
diers would identify any one Of the accused
At the final trial. however, under military dis
cipline, they did positively identify each of the
accused This was evidence for the prosecu-
ton, and the jury, ia the face OF an overwhelm-
ing abb in favor Of the defendants, acquitted
them within an hour after the case was sab
mitted.
THE prosecution was bitter and vindictive,
and without cause or reason. Those men were
innocent, and proved their innocence.
THE imputation that the jury was influenced
by improper means is an Outrage on twelve as
true men as ever faced a Court in Arizona or
elsewhere. They were selected by the prosecu-
ton and guarded by it through the trial.
THE community was not outraged by the
verdict Everyone knew an acquiItsl was Ger
tain The Grand Jury was kept in session for
months and months to intimidate by indict-
ment every witness for the defense.
Judge Barnes, an able, upright and learned
Judge, was removed because he admitted Webb
to bail in $1,000. Judge Kibby then sat in the
case. He seemed fair, and was succeeded by
Judge Sloan, vino filed "a long felt want of the
prosecution, and did it to their entire sat!sfae-
ton Money was raised without stint on the
part OF the Government; yet, with all this, the
accused were acquitted,
"The alluson 10 Mermon witnesses for the
defense is beneath my notice. IL is enough tC
say that the prosecution had rs many Mormon
witnesses as the defense had.
THE paper clippings appended to this rare
report are well understood by all in that com
munity who love and try to secure tair ad
ministration of justice. 1t might be well to add
that the defense offered to prove who actually
did the robbery, but this offer was refused, by
the objection of counsel and strange and un
paralleled ruling of the Court"
