LUTHER BENSON.

Luther Benson is a fgreat man,
There..is no. question about that. A.
great lecturer, III a.speecl few years
ago in one of the Western states, is
quoted as saying that the name of Lu.

strongest argument against the drink
habit that he ever knew about, 'and the
lecturer was probably right about it.
The speeches of this very remarkable
man III this city this week called forth
the solemn sanctity and sympathy of
those most opposed to his ideas of
reform. 1t IS sad spectacle, indeed,
to thus be Il witness to great and
useful mind that is constantly swayed
under the tempting influences of the
liquor hablt-a slave to that, and that

THE DRIVERS STORY.
Statement OF the Man Who Drove the
Carriage.

John Kin (, the driver who conveyed the party
TO Black River junction. returned TO the city at
ii O'Clock, and upon entering the stabes of the
Seattle Transfer Company, in whose employ lie
II, was Intercepted by police officer, who re-
fused him permission to take his horses from
the quincy and put them In the barn.
He was taken up TO police headquarters where
he WAS booked on suspicion, but allowed to go
back to the barn in charge OF an officer. In
the meantime Mr Frank shaubut had gone
out On the road TO meet King and
had missed him. At midnight Mr..
shaubut returned, and together with a reporter
OF the Posi- -ISTELLIGESCER, Shaubut and King
drove to headquarters, when King was baiIed
out by Mr.. shaubut. While at headquarters
King made the following statement: "In the
afternoon at o'clock Detective Sullivan
came To me and engaged me by the
hour. At Third and Marion, almost in
front OF the Chamber of Commerce, four men
quickly got into the closed carriage. / was
then driving and one man since pointed ont TO

the Grant street bridge my suspicious were more
fully aroused by loud curses and a d. ep struggle
that was going on between the men in the car
rage, the man Mckay at my side keeping close
watch on me. with his hand pretty close to his
pistol pocket
"When about half the distance 10 the junction
i refused to go further, when Sullivan
mounted the box beside me and began to argue

that Mckay was the sheriff of Pierce county,
and that IL would go hard with me IL failed to
obey his orders. / continued, and on reaching
the junction Chief Rogers liberated
Mr.. Albertson aud Mr.. Bailey and

arrest. When got back to town was ar ested
without warrant, and don't even know the
charge against me. l don't know anything
more about the case. l am not in any con-

"As far as / know, Mr.. Bailey went OF his own
free will, and the only fighting or strug-

THE DEFECTIVE PROCESS.
Illegal Warrant Under Which tho Out
rage Was Committed.

Evans was sullen at the police headquarters
and refused to talk. 1t was evident
that he was deeply chagrined
at the turn affairs had taken, and he was not
little worried over the trouble ahead for him.
Directed by VI. G. Sullivan he showed the fol-
lowing warrant for Albertson:

GOING TO TACOMA TO-DAY.
Albertson Leaves on the First Boat to
Meet His Accusers.

Mr.. Albersson and Mr.. Bailey drove
to the Rainier club after leaving
police headquarters, and while there
learned By telephone that there was another
warrant issued for Mr.. Albertson. He tele-
phoned the sherifs Office that he awaited
service. but up to O'Clock the sheriff had not
arrived.
Mr. Albertson, accompanied by Mr.. Bailey
and Mr.. Preston, his partner, will leave on the
first boat this morning for Tacoma
81 intend going there" said Mr.. Albertson,
"and meeting the charge against me, which, L
understand, is aiding and abetting in the con-
cealment of money. l haven't the faintest idea
what possible evidence could suggest such a
thing. 1t is absolutely false. l not only do
not shirk inquiry, but court the fullest in
vestigation.
81 did object to being taken by illegal process
and being kidnapped In this most outrageous
manner, but l shall certainly go at once to
Tacoma and face my accusers."
Mr.. Abortion was accompanied by Judge
Burke, Messrs. Bailey, GOidie, KeIleher, Ewing,
and others, while awaiting the arrival of the
sheriff, but it was finally concluded that he did
not intend coming and they retired.

RACE AFTER THE HACK.
John Giipin's Ride Of q South Seattle
Hero.

Asthe hsrk uassed the vinegar works on Grant
street bridge Albsrtson put his head out of the
window and shouted loudly for help. Two
of the employees of the vinegar works heard him
and became very much excited. One OF the
couple saddIed clayba mare and raced
after the hack, which, by the time
he started was well on the road
and out of sight around the bend where the rail-
road and the county road meet The man
evidently had an indefinite idea of doing the
heroic. and rescuing somebody, but as he was
unarmed it is difficult 70 imagine the details of
his plan
The hack and the claybank mare raced or, the
latter gaining rapidly. Just beyond the term
linus Of the South Seattle railroad the
man on the mare overlook the
youngest son OF Mr. Thomas and
shouted to him to clear the road. The boy
nistook his words for a challenge 10 a
race, and kicking his horse violently
with his heels he spurred him
to the contest They raced on, much to the
wonderment OF the people who live along the
road, who Gid not have an inkiing of what the
strange proceeding meant.
In this order the party passed the White
House Carson, the proprietor of the place,
noticed that something was up, and
aiter|ard gave an accurate description
OF Detective II. C. Sullivan as the
man on the box by the drivers side
The hack was still ahead, and the boy and the
man with the claybank were running close
race, as the boy supposed, for the cham
pionship OF South Seattle. Michael ODon-
nell, the bartender at the Road house,
saw them, still running, and the people at the
race track saw the same strange spectacle. Pres
emily the boy rode back, and short while after
ward the man passed on his mare, which was
tsded and covered with foam. The people of
that neighborhood retire early, and 50 they did
not see the back on its return trip.
H. A. Frederick, the drsyrnan, was among
those who saw the hack dashing along the road
south of the Grant street bridge,
and recognized Mr. Bailey as one
OF its inmates. Last night as soon as he heard
OF the kidnapping he told the following story
About O'Clock / was driving in from Braun 8
brewery, and Albert Braun was with me. / was
driving rapidly and was near the race track
when / saw a hack coming toward me,
tearing along at terrible rate. King was
driving, and on the box with him sat
big man. As passed the hack / just got a
glimpse OF W. f. Bailey's face. 1t was very
white, and | wondered what could be the
matter with him. | could not imagine what
he shonld be driving at such terrific speed in
that direction Tor. He was sitting on the left
hand side OF the back seat. and two or three
men were In tho carriage with him."
