MRS. NJ AJOR LAMOTTES
CHARGE.

HER HUSBAND LEAVES HER AND
COMES To THIS CITY. HER OWN
LETTER vTNDICATEs THE YOUNG
| LADY.
Mrs. Major A. LaMotte of
Brooklyn, New York, was in the
city two weeks ago in search of
her husband. She called at the
BEE office and stated that be had
been lead astray by young lady
friend of hers, who resides in this
city. She stated that her husband
has been stopping with her for
nine weeks and when she wrote
to the lady and asked for his
whereabouts, she said that she
knew nothing about him, but
when she arrived in town Mrs
LaMotte states that she forced
from her the fact that her husband
bad been stopping at her house
but had since left. TIE young
lady called at the office a few
minutes b fore Mrs. LaMotte and
stated that she and Mrs LaMotte
were personal friends aud that Mr..
LaMotte was the guest of her
mother The lady's friends say
that Mrs. LaMotte has been actu-
ated to make these charges
through jealousy and there is no
truth attached to her accus-
atoms.
On the other hand Mrs. La
Motto claims that she has letters
in the young ladies hand writing
to the effect that she knows noth-
ing about her husbands wherea-
bouts. The young lady has
a good reputation and
her friends speak of her in the
highest tevms. Major LaMotte
who was in the city has left for
parts unknown. The letters that
Mrs LaMotte claimed to nave
from the young lady and which
she said were damaging, show
just the contrary and Mrs. La
Notes own postscript at the bot
tom of the young lady's friendly
letter to her, shows that she is a
victim of malice and jealousy.
Mrs. LaMotte has undoubtedly
sent the worse letter that she had
and the others, she states, were
lost or destroyed. These letters
were written to Mrs LaMotte and
not her husband and the one be-
low doesn't show anything that
would convict the lady of improp-
er conduct,
THE LETTER:
Washington, D. c., March 24th, go.
Sist' Fannie:
What is the tier that you don't WRIT.
I hope you are well, let me heir from
you as soon as convenient. looked for
a letter today but haven't one. Now
write me. am very well and trust that
this may find all well. Remember me to
Aunty, Uncle, Hattie, Mr.. ard Mrs.
Warner and wish them well. Mamma
has been sick for three weeks. have
been very uneasy about her for the last
week. She is better today and hope by
careful treatment to have her VIII soon.
There is nothing Of any interest to Write,
everything is very dull and quiet here.
Now write ME few lines and let me
know how you are.
As ever,
At the foot OF this letter is the follow
ing postscript written by Mrs. LaMOtte:
"This is one of Miss - letters.
You can read it for yourself and all Of
them read just about the same"
From what Mrs. LaMotte says,
it Can be seen that the young
lady has been falsely accused by
Mrs. Major LaMotte and her
charge against her in the presence
of number of gentlemen in this
office are without foundation.
This is the result Of the BEES
investigation after having reques-
ted Mrs. LaMotte to put her
charges in writing and to furnish
all letters hat she claimed were
damaging 10 the young lady.

TALKING BACK AT a JUDGE.
A Prisoner Creates a Sensation by som,
loud Inngungo.


John Coleman, who with others was inn

yesterday to seven years in state prison by
Judge Kirkpatrick. After his confession
he wrote a letter To his bI other. The letter
fell into the hands of the judge, and he
spoke of IL to Coleman in delivering the
sentence. Coleman WAS quiet until the
sentence was delivered, and then he launch
ed out at the judge, saying:
"Pll get even with you, you sucker. You

Wait until come out, and will fix you. "

The State May Do II.

4
There 10 not likely 60 be much dissent
from the opinion Of the United States
eupEeue court, that the United States
nave no business to interfere with the
desire Of the state of New York to exc
cute her murderers by electricity. Pro-
badly no such request would have
been made Of the United States court
but for its well established repute for
disposition to interfere with the
autonomy Of a state. Some people un.
dertake TO defend this disposition, and
there may be some who will say that the
United States should say how its citi-
Eens should bs put to death but there
will not be many likely to do that, In
support of the idea that the general
government is everything and the states
nothing. The only defense of the states
against federal aggression lies in the
Federal court, for there is always
chance of interpreting the con-
stitutiOn to states undoiDg no
clearer illustration of which could be
afforded than in the decision that the
power Of the general government to con-
troll interstate commerce nullifes state
law forbidding the sale within the state
of that which its own citizens are for
bidded to either make or sell decision
which results in opening the state to
foreign manufacturers which are for.
hidden to its citizens than which moth
ing could be more unjust.
There was day when universal con-
fdence was felt in tho federal supreme
court. 1t was day when it's decisions
commanded respect for the strength Of
their logic, and not merely for the power
which they exercise, as is often the case
now. 1t was day when illustrous
men made IN illustrious court, rather
than when an illustrious court under
takes to make its pembers illustrious.
