WARNED BY THE PRESS.
Interesting Story OF WOman's Attempt
to Get = Pension to Which She Does
Not Appear to No Entitled.


to Get Pension to Which She Does
Not Appear to No Entitled.
Boston. Oct 28-Perhaps the influence
Of the press as Il preventative Of crime was
never better illustrated than In case
which Is now being investigated by the
pension examiner, Williamson. A woman
some time ago applied for aid, claiming
that she was the widow of a soldier who
served in the rebellion, and died from
disease contracted in the army. Her ap-
pearance and manner were 40 reassuring
that her sworn statement that she was
this mans widow, and that he had never
been married before, were received as
prima-facie evidence of their truth. After
the notoriety given by the press to the
well-known johnson case, where the
woman was arrested on complaint for
perjury and an attempt to defraud the
government under almost precisely the
same condition of affairs, the officials re-
ceived a call from the claimant for pen
sion, who astonished them by saying that
there was possibly fact regarding her
late husband that she should have men,
toned, but had forgotten, namely, that
her husband had been married once be-
fore, and she believed that he had been
married twice before. She, however, did
not know what had become of these wives.
Investigation by the department, which
is not yet completed, has resulted in the
discovery of a woman who had married
the soldier prior to his marriage to the
claimant, and who had in her possession
what appears to be a legal marriage GER
tif1cate If this turns out to he true, she
will he entitled to the pension, unless,
perchance, the first wife is found to be
living without legal separation having
been obtained.
The officials believe the claimant would
never have voluntarily made the confess
sion she did if she had not read in the
papers the story of the johnson woman's
unpleasant predicament, and but for her
having volunteered the statement, it is
improbable that the deception and the
legal wife would have been discovered till
after the claimant had profited by her
false statements.

An CnfOunded RumOr.

WASHINGTON, Oct. PA rumor was

quartered at the Arlington hotel ana was
looking as well as usual. When the story
was called to his attention, be said. You
may tell my friends that l never felt bet
ter in my life than do at this time" Mr..
Cleveland came to Washington to argue a
case before the supreme court.

WHO OWNS BUZZARD'S BAY?
\ Knotty Legal Controversy Before the
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Oct 2S-R. G. Bliss, as
sistant attorney general of Massachusetts,
made motion in the United States SUI
preme court to advance the case of Ar
thur Manchester. plaintiff in error VS..
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,.
This is an interesting case involving the
question of whether the United States or
the state of Massachusetts has jurisdic-
ton over the waters of Buzzard's bay.
Manchester was fishing from boat which
carried license to fish from the United
States. At the time he was arrested for
violation of one of the state fishing laws
of Massachusetts the vessel was within
the bay and about a mile and quarter
from shore.
In the course of his argument Mr.. Bliss
submitted the following facts: This is one
of the cases grown out of the violation of
chapter 1921 of the acts of 1866 for the pro-
lection of the fisheries in BuZzard's bay.
At the time of the arrest of the defendant
in 1889 the steam vessel upon which the
defendant and his associates were fishing
was seized and libeled. Subsequently two
other steam vessels, fishing under the
same circumstances and in the same To-
cality, were seized and libeled The value
of the property taken is about 900.
Proceedings for the forfeiture of this
property are now pending in the courts of
the state.
Buzzard's bay is a body of water about
thirty miles in length and ten miles in
width. 1t is found that the headlands are
less than two marine leagues apart. The
alleged offense was committed within this
bar and about one and one quarter miles
from the shore. The commonwealth
claims that it has dominion over these
waters in respect to fisheries. During the
fishing season of 1890 a large number of
steam vessels from other states entered
the bay and engaged in fishing therein in
disregard of the law brought in question
in this case, though the commonwealth at
great expense pursued such vessels with
it's police boats.
1t is claimed that should the enforce
ment of the law be relaxed, the interest of
the state in respect to edible fish would
be seriously and permanently injured;
and on the other hand, officers making
seizures and arrests are threatened with
personal suits by parties at interest, on
the ground that they are operating with
out the jurisdiction of the state of Massa-
chusetts, and upon the high seas, where
the United States government, and not
the government of the state of Massachu-
setts, has control. Under the circum-
stances the commonwealth would be en-
barrassed in the administration Of its laws
by delay in the determination of the
question herein raised.
