JOHN CoNsIDINE GOES FREE.
acquitted or Attempted Abduction-Hi.
Wife'A fearful ComDiafuts

"e4~ieseu Oh attempted AbouctiOn-His
Wffe's fearful Complaints.
The trial of John Consldine. for at
tempting to abduct his little child from
the home OF his former wife, was heard
before Justice Neagle yesterday. The Wit
nesses for the state were Mrs. Dudley, at
whose home Mrs. Considiue is living and
where the alleged attempt was made, and
Mrs. White and Mrs. Kenenleit. neigh
bors, who were ali present at the time.
The substance of their testimony was
that on Sunday Considine saw Mrs. Dub
ley, and said he wanted to sec his wife
to talk over business matters, as
he thought he could get some money
from man named Collins and could fix
up their differences about money matters.
He said that ii Mrs. Considine would send
him note he would call the next day. On
Monday about $3.50 O'Clock Considine
called. while Mrs. Considine was absent.
He asked to see his child, who was unwill-
ing to go to him, but Mrs. Dudley carried
her down to him in the parlor. After
chatting with the child for some time, he
asked Mrs. Dudley to get her hat, cloak
and rubbers. as he wanted to take her out
and get some candy. Mrs. Dudley re. lied
that the child had been left in her care by
its mother, and that she would not per-
NIT her to be taken from under her roof,
and that besides the child was i'll. Consi-
dine became angry and said the child was
his and he would have her ont of the house
in five minutes, whereupon he took the
child in his arms and started
for the door. Mrs. Dudley grasped
the child around the waist, and
tried to prevent her being taken
away. ConsidIne. however, managed
to pull her and the child through
the doorway into the hall and to unfasten
the door, which Mrs. Dudley had prud-
emily locked after letting him into the
house. On getting the door open he made
a violent jerk which threw Mrs. Dudley
and the child across the porch and on to
the ground, bruising the child's forehead
and making her sick. The other two la
dies were spectators of the scene, and
screamed loudly for help. When Mrs.
Dudley picked herself and the child up, q
number Of neighbors had gathered around.
Considine took the child by one hand
while Mrs. Dudley took the other, and
they went together to candy store q
block distant. where he bought some candy
and gum for the child and gave her SIS
gold piece, and then walked away.
Mrs. Considine was also placed on the
stand, and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Winstock tried TO prove that Considine
had threatened before to take the child
away from her, but the justice would not
allow her to testify on the ground that ct
the time the threats were made she was
Considine's wife.
The defense introduced no testimony,
but moved for dismissal, which the JUS
tice granted. saying that it appeared to
him that Considine had no intention to
kidnap the child and that his conduct was
entirely consistent with innocence.

Mr.. EDITOR: Since [ was last
permitted to contributed to your
columns, I have been called upon
to bear the cross that many have
borne, and that many will yet
have to bear. God has seen fit in
his allwise providence to take from
me my dear mother. But | am
consoled to know, amidst all, that
He who hath power to bruise hath
power to heal. She died June 2Sth,
She was in her 47th year. 1t was
her lot, for more than twenty
five years to carry the burden of
disease. Life seemed not to be
worth living, but in the midst OF
all her sorrows, tribulations, and
debility, she lived a bright, fervent,
upright Christian. There never
was, nor ever will be, a person
more devoted to God and his word
than she was. l don't say it be-
cause she was my mother, but be-
cause actions have spoken louder
than words for these many years

"Veritas" Stings a .Dirtdauber.'

Mr.. EDITOR: Under the nom de
| plume of 'Dirtdaubers," cores
pondents In the last issue of the
Edgefeld Chronicle wrote politi-
cal letter from this place. They
gave their views from a Sheep
standpoint, and we have no objec-
stion to "Dirtdaubers" having what
fever opinion they may hold, for
| that is their right. Thee Dirt
fdaubers" seem anxious to convey
the impression that they3inhabit a
Sheep walk, and that the care of
the focks is entrusted TO their
keeping. ..si
"Dirtdaubers'' say that the
Sheep are decidedly in the ma
jority here. That's news to us.
The fact is that with the exception
of an imported abell-weather land and
a few bleating lambs, no Sheep
have been discovered in this
vicinity since the 9th of last April,
when the Sturdy Angoras captured
the pasture and turned the Sheep
on short commons. Shortly after
that, "The Sheppard was severely
drubbed at Edgefeld in an en-
counter with the Goats, and the
Sheep here were dispersed.
aDirtdaubers," say that the peo-
pie around here are about to quit
their crops, and that they , have
almost gone distracted on the sub
ject of politics. Perhaps that fact
is applicable to the 'Dirtdaubers," "
who probably have quit work to
accept an appointment on Ddble's
committee as canvassers or to
rally the scattered Sheep. Every
one else is serene and happy over
the good prospects for the crops,
and as to politics, they look upon
Ben Tillman already as the same
as setting in the chair.
We cannot ask space to notice
the "Dirtdaubers" fling at Tillman.
1t would look too much like argu-
ing a case after the jury had rem
dered the verdict, besides we know
Rirtdaubers," and have observed
9eir peculiarities. They are the
color of the carrion-crow, but are
la great deal smaller and less use.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1892-07-14

harmless when the source is con-
sidered.
The "Dirtdauber" unlike the
eagle, never scars high, his
flights are lowly, and he seeks
sinks and cespools on the mar
gin of which he revels in filth,
with which it is his delight to
deface and besmear the garments
and habitations of decent people
Being badly raised and poorly
thought,of all his life he takes the
more pleasure in invading high
place and daubing prominent
people. His industry is all fo1
which we may commend him, but
the character of his work cannot
be encouraged. He cannot be
called a song bird, his musical
education having been sadly
neglected youth. When he settles
down to business, however, he
diminishes the tedium of the task
by humming a monotoneous mon.
otone pitched in a high key. This
singing is his favorite amusement
while delving for mud to besmeal
his betters. The "Dirtdauber" is
no fighter, but a great buffer
hence his loudest notes are uttered
when he is corncred or run in
hole, and when caught at his
favorite pastime of mud Singing
he will affect a pugnacity foreign
to his nature, elevating his wings
and erecting that part of the body
which represents the caisson Oh
supply battery of the hornet.
The diet. of the "Dirtdauber" il
chiefly poison and that braces
him for his dirty work. They
never learn anything by experience
or observation, and therefore his
career is brief and lasts only fo1
a season.
Should he fortunately escape
death in the gutter, his vile presence
and foul works are soon detected
and he is made harmless to purity
andinnocence by expulsion as an
intolerable nuisance and bore.
"A general busting will take
place the latter part of August
and "Dirtdaubers" will be swept
out in the August primary.

attention to the struggle now going
