FOR MRS. DEACON.

Judgment Rendered Her by the Paris
Court of AppSals-A Further State
ment.
PARIS, Nov. 22.-The first chamber of
the court Of appeal to-day handed down
its decision in the Deacon case. Judg-
ment was given for Mrs. Deacon and it
was ordered that the child GLADYS be
returned to convent, where both Mr..
and Mrs. Deacon shall be allowed to
visit her. Mr.. Deacon was ordered to
pay the costs.
Mr. Deacon stated to-day that the
latest offer made to him by his wiie's
attorneyswas that she would not OPP
pose an application by him to the
court for an absolute divorce; that she
would surrender all the children to
him and at once drop the name OF Dea-
con. Mr.. Deacon says he would gladly
accept compromise in order to spare
his wife the ignominy in standing in
the dock at AK, and would allow her
to keep the baby as long as she led a
moral life, but he doubts whether she
would keep her word. Possibly an
arrangement will be effected before De-
cember s, when the case opens at AK.
Mrs. Deacon 's-brother has written u
letter to the representative of the AEso-
ciated Press stating that under the nd
vice OF her lawyers his sister has never
since the beginning of the unhappy af-
fair ever said anything TO the American
or French press. Mr.. Deacon, on the
contrary, has never ceased receiving re-
porters, and has paid certain Journal
lists to publish garbled accounts OF the
affair. He has also succeeded in closing
the papers against his wife and her
friends. Her silence and his unscrupu-
lous actions have blackened her char
acter on both sides OF the Atlantic. Her
brother adds:
"Hence it is that speak for the first
time. II were TO relate the cases Of
his cruelty to my sister, his drunken
acts, his insults 70 her friends, and his
conduct to her four little girls, would
require columns. My family have per-
Suadel her to bear all rather than to
make public her domestic troubles.
Mr.. Deacon Is convinced that she will
demand divorce sooner or later and
he is determined TO prevent her from
getting one in her favor. Heroin lies
the real cause OF the shooting Of Abeille,
Deacon wishing 10 fix upon his wife the
stigma OF adultery. A few days before
the tragedy Mr.. Deacon opened adrawer

A sHREwD SCHEME

To Wipe Out tho Negro vOto In Alabamr.
ABlll to Pay Them to Stay from the
Polls.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 22.-There
was a bill introduced in the legislature
to-day which is bound to attract agreat
deal of attention throughout the
country. Tit becomes a law it will
practically do away with the
negro vote in Alabama. The bill
was introduced by Representative
Brewer, OF Lowndes county, who
has been in the legislature for fourteen
years, and who was state auditor for
four years. He is looked upon as the
financial authority of the state, and has
written history Of Alabama The bill
provides that "all persons whose state
and county taxes as, assessed do not
amount to s. shall not be required to
pay the same il it be shown that such
person failed TO vote at the August and
November elections OF the previous
year"
This is the first attempt in the his
tory OF Alabama to legislate against the
negro vote. There are not 20 per cent
of the negro voters who pay taxes ex-
ceeding S. year. At the lowest calcu-
lation so per cent Of the negro voters
would take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity to save five dollars. The negro
vote at the last election was $4,000 out
OF total OF 100000. It can be seen
that the effect OF this bill will be wide
spread. Those most competent to judge
think it will do away with the trouble
which SO vexed the white people.

HAnRlsoN,s CRIME.

Driven to Desperation by Rejected Love
He Killed BetlIs Adams and Attempted
sulolds-HlS Trial and Conviction.
The crime which Allen Harrison ex-
plated yesterday at Huntington by
death on the scafold, was peculiarly
brutal and revolving, as well as of an
intensely dramatic character.
Allen Harrison was the son Of a fairly
prosperous farmer living on Big Cabell
creek, back in the country from the
Chesapeake & Ohio railway. and about
twenty miles from Huntington, the
county seat OF Cabell county. lie was
never considered IN ordinarily bright
boy or young man, and 1t developed
during his trial that number Of people
had considered him somewhat mentally
unbalanced. He worked on his fathers
farm, but his homo associations were
not coneenial, so he sought companion
ship elsewhere. A familynamed Adams
lived in the same neighborhood, and
hero it was that he stayed considerably.
In the Adams family was daughter,
Bette Adams, who throughout the
country side vas known as belle. At
the dances, hoe downs, and at all social
gatherings she was supreme favorite,
and her hand was sought by many a
sturdy young farmer. Young Harrison
who had known Bettie ali his life, and
had from childhood been one Of her
ardent admirers, saw her budding lovli.
ness as she changed from young girl
into fully developed woman, and il
possible became more enamored than
ever.
For time his attentions we're favor
ably received, but in a short time she
wearied Of him. and thereby aroused
his jealousy. This was the means Of
her undoing, for, with his known weak.
moss Of mind and under the constant
prodding OF the monster, jealousy,
nothing could be expected but some
deed Of violence. For several weeks
previous to the com initial OF the crime
Harrison was only the discarded adj
mirer OF Miss Adams; though he made
innumerable efforts to effect q reconcil-
i0tion, all were without avail.
DRIVEN TO DESPAIR.
When hope fled, despair and q muir
derous feeling evidently possessed and
crazed the young man, as shown by the
tragedy that followed.
The climax came on Saturday, April
8, shortly after the noon hour. During
the day Harrison had brooded over his
troubles, and had seen the girl and
again entreated that she look with ia
yor upon his suit, but she had again re-
fused TO have anything to do with him.
Whatever spark OF hope that had re-
mained in Harrison's breast was now
completely extinguished, leaving au
entirely crazed and desperate man caps

in his wife's desk and destroyed all the
letters he wrote to her from America
tnat were likely to hurt his cause, care
fully leaving those of a friendly nature.
He is now bent on doing all he can to
destroy her"
The charges made against Mr.. Deacon
are denied by his friends.
1t will be recalled that while the kill
ing Of Abeille was being discussed in
the French papers an article by NJ.
Alexander Dumas appeared in one OF
the journals declaring that Mr.. Deacon
had no right to kill his wiie's paramour,
even though he caught them Bdgrdnte
deliciu. This opinion was directly con-
trary to the one he had expressed in one
OF his famous novels, in which he ad-
vised the husband who caught his vile
in sin to kill them. This expression
had become famous and was regularly
quoted as palliative for murderous re-
venge. 1t is asserted from well in
formed quarters that NJ. Dumas change
OF opinion was brought about, not by u
revolution in his mind regarding the
crime, but by the judicious use OF
money by the Abeille family. 1t is
said that he received the sum oil 2O,UOO
francs for writing the article and that
the money was paid to him through
Maitre Leon Ranault.
The large influence OF the Abellle
family is used in every direction for
Mrs. Deacon, and they will do every
thing to save her from the consequences
of the action her husband has brought
against her for her criminal relations
with Abeille. Should Mrs, Deacon be
found guilty of this charge, she would
be Liable to imprisonment or fine, or
both. With reference to the charge
against Mr.. Deacon that he subsidized
certain journals, current rumor has it
that the Abcille family spent 100000
francs in procuring articles hostile to
him to be published in French newspa-
pers. The real explanation OF Mrs.
Deacon in brinping a divorce action, is
that she is being used as tool by tho
Abeille family. The Abeilles care
nothing for her, but so long as they can
use her to annoy Mr.. Deacon thew will
do so.

Many persons who were only slightly
cut and bruised proceeded to their

WASHINGTON. D. O., Nov, 22.-Therc
is considerable talk at present in regard
to proposition to float new loan for
tho purpose OF meeting possible fnan-
cial complications, Secretary Charles
Foster does not think q new issue OF
bonds will be authorized.
Speaking on the subiectto-day he said (:
~ cannot undertake to guess what the
Democrats may do, but l do not think
there win be any new bonds issued, /
do not think any party wants now to
take the responsibility OF increasing the
public dobt, which We have striven TO
reduce to save the interest"
"How low an interest do you think
new bonds could be hoatsd on?" he was
asked.
That would depend on two things. If
the bonds were such as the national
banks could use as security ior currency
and were permitted to issue currency
up to the full face value OF the bonds,
and II, in addition, the tax on national
bank circulation we're TO be reduced
from per cent to three-quarters OF
per cent l think the bonds could easily
float at Q per cent"

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Noy. 92.-The most

HuarmoroN, w. Va, Nov. 22.-Alien
Harrison was hanged at 2:25 p. m. to-
day. At 2:1o, after listening to the
death warrant in his cell, he was driven
in barouche from the prison to the
scaGold. He was neatly dressed in con-
yentional black with a largo red rose
pinned upon his lapel. As he leaned
hack among the luxurious cushions
calmly viewing the immense multitude
he seemed more like some millionaire
contentedly viewing the outlook than
doomed criminal under the shadow OF
death. He had made his peace with
God, and on Sunday turned over to
Jailer Jones vial of strichnine which
he had carried in his shoe four months
with the intention OF cheating the gal
lows. Said he:
~ am a changed man; 1 mean to do
right in the sight Of God. 1t Is wrong
to take life. did it once, but won't do
it again"
OF all tho thousands none seemed
moro calm than Harrison as the vehicle
moved of at funeral gait. The sher-
ia, taller and spiritual advisers were
with him. At the foot OF the scaiold
lie stopped a momentto bid few OF bis
old irieuds hearty goodbye, then he
ascended the steps steadily. His se-
lected hymn was sung-"0n Christ the
solid rock stand.p He asked that no
black cap be drawn over his head and
his wish was respected.
Rev. Mr.. Woods offered touching
prayer for Goods blessing" and Harri-
son made constant response in an un-
dertOne. After the prayer Harrison
stepped on the trap and Sheriff Kyle
adjusted the moose, while Jailer Jones
strapped his hands and feet. Then
Rev. Mr.. Woods in voice tremulous
with emotion, again petitioned the
Throne Of Grace, and as he closed his
fearful plea with "for Christ's sake,
Amen" the sheriff sprung the lever,
the trap fell and the doomed man dan
gled in the air. His struggle was short
The neck was broken, and in eighteen
minutes life was entirely extinct.
The face Of the dead man was an awful
sight TO the five thousand souls who
looked with horror on the fearful scene.
The body was delivered over to his
sisters, who have been with him in
pitiful anguish for days.
An hour before death Harrison made
a statement, confirming his previous
story and still maintaining that he had
no knowledge or recollection whatever
OF killing Bette Adams. He returned
thanks to all who had befriended him,
aud went to his death with malice
toward no one. Part Of his last night
was spent in calm sleep and the bal
ance in religious exercises.
