shame, sorrow and heartrcnding which
darkened two households are cleared
away, and all is now made bright by the
happy links of matrimony.
Waldo Ii. Haynes aud Oceana l..
Adams were married yesterday evening
at 6:30 by Rev. j. A. IIuffard, the
Lutheran paster.
The management which brought about
the result is quite interesting, for it
was well known to the readers Of
THE TIMES yesterday morning that the
father of the young lady bitterly op-
posed all suggestions of q union
between Haynes and his daughter.
Fleming Haynes, the father of the
prison, made application to Judge Rob.
ertson yesterday morning for bail for
his son. The judge placed it at 81 900.
This he was unable to give, and the old
gentleman hit upon another plan to get
his son out Of Jail He was willing and
anxious that Wade should marry the
girl, but knowing the indignation of
Adams, feared to approach him on the
subject IIo sent frie nd, however, to
act as arbitrator, and endcavor to bring
about union of the parties. The mis-
sion was in part successful, for Mr..
Adams had relcntcd to certain degree,
and informed the messenger that if his
daughter would consent to the match he
would offer no obi ,ctions, but that Tay-
lor would have TO make 4 rctraction of
his assertions at the trial.
1t was decided to take young HAYNES
to Miss Adams home, and Judge Rob
ertson gave an order to the Sergeant to
that effect. The prisoner was turned
over to Deputy Sergeant Wright, who,
in Company with Haynes father and a
TIMES reporter, started out on the un-
usual mission. Haynes was allowed to
stop at home and divest himself of his
shabby clothes. The transformation was
remarkable when he appeared u few
minutes later attired in a nobby black
suit and derby hat.
! few doors away the party entered
the Adams residence, and were cordially
received. Mr. Adams and his wife were
both present, and the young woman was
found seated in the kitchen. Thither
Haynes was taken to arrange the match.
No one was allowed in the room save
the Sergeant and TIE TIMES reporter.
Miss Adams received her lover on ami
ablo terms. but there was veil of sad
ness on er her ear cut features
The young man was embarrassed and
could not speak word for some min
utes, when finally the cherry voice of
Bob Wright broke in: Come now, Won
two; get to business. I'm going to see
this thing done right"
After Il few words of reconciliation, n
few promises. and general resolve to
forget the past, they agreed to get
married. The date was fixed by TIE
TIMHS man-as soon as license could
be had.
Mr.. Adams said of the arrangement,
that after due consideration he thought
1T best for both parties. but that before
the ceremony was performed. and his
child entrusted TO the care of Haynes.
he would require bond on the part of
Haynes, his father and tho friend who
acted as arbitrator, for the young mans
good behavior toward his daughter.
Mrs. Adams agreed to board the youth
full pair until they could go to house
Keeping, and Haynes was brought back
to jail, having again donned his common
suit, which best suited his dismal
lodgings.
Haynes was again locked up in the
city jail, but the friends of the young
woman were at work.
r. +. Taylor, whose drunken state
ment before Justice IIowerton during
the trial caused such bitter feeling on
the part OF Adams, became very uneasy
during the day. lie went into Squire
Howerton's office yesterday morning in
company with Haynes father. The
justice pointed warning finger in his
face and told him that every word of
his testimony on the day before was n
lie. This he repeated twice, and lay
lor walked out. During the day he
made numerous threats against the ius-
ticc, and vowed that he would have
vengeance. Later in the day however,
he Gained down, Learning that Adams
was speaking of having him arrested on
the charge of perjury, he voluntarily
went to H. Lacy Hogc, swore and affixed
his name to the following document:
To whom it may concern:
l, X. l.. Taylor, did on the 9th day of
February, 1891, before S. w. IIowerton,
make oath that had illegal connection
with Miss o. +. Adams, and now desire
to correct that statement, and will say
that / never would have made such a
statement had it not been for the fact
that was under the influence of whis-
key,sand will say further, that Miss
0. +. Adams is a lady of good character
so far as / know. r. +. TAYLOR.
So much for Taylor. lie signed the
libel and sneaked away, ten times more
degraded than the trusting young
women whose character he had tried to
blacken the more by his foul-mouthed
lies.
After this light dawned upon the
way. a marriage license was procured
