Have Letters That Alter the Case.
MEMPHIS, Jan. 26-Niiss Alice Mitchell,
the slayer OF Freda Ward in this CITY YES
terday, spent a quiet day in jail Early
this morning her father and brother visited
her. She would see no one except Colonel
Gannt. who, with General Wright, is her
counsel. Later in the morning Miss Mitch
ellis mother came and remained with her
until noon. The young lady was not will
ing to talk.
After Miss 10 Ward was interviewed bv
General Peters, Judge Dubuis issued a
bench warrant for Miss Lille johnson, the
young lady who was in the buggy with
Miss Mitchell yesterday afternoon, and
about 1 o'clock she was put in the cell with
Miss Mitchell. The only new development
is that letters were exchanged between the
dead girl and her slayer. 1t is understood
that Miss MitchelPs counsel have in their
possession letters from Miss Ward to Miss
Mitchell which may change the whole
matter and put a different aspect on the
tragedy.

Our Danger on the Silver 0aestion.

tentions in the currency question was the
subject of interpretations in the Senate to-
day. Signor Luzzati, Minister OF the Treas

dured the new taxes with resignation, the
present system of economies must be stead
lily upheld The monetary question had
not reached an acute stage. Tt is the period
Of the renewal of the Latin Union.
The question greatly excited America on

Washington Government must come TO
some resolution in order to avoid injury
from the circulation of silver. The owners
Of silver mines were the only people in

actress, who has starred in several plays,
has petitioned the courts here for an annul-
ment of her marriage TO Edmund
J.. Lyons, an English actor They
were married in Troy, n. Y, in 1889. A
year later letters were received in this
country from London, charging that Lyons
had deserted wife and children in that
city. The first Mrs. Lyons also wrote in
quiring tor the actor, who was then playing
in Boston.
Hattie Harvey is Chicago girl, and her
father is in business here. She was origi-
nally fancy roller skater. Then she went
into burlesque, and appeared at the Star
Theater, New York, as Puck in
midsummer Nights Dream" When
she launched out as a star Lyons was

gro woman, left her home and
nine months old infant in
charge of her two children. Mark
and Lima, respectively and years.
After her departure it seems Mark re-
solved upon putting the infant out of the
way. Procuring an axe he deliberately
knocked it in the head and mangled its
body in different places. Not content
with the henious crime committed, he
took "A fork and gouged out the eyes of
the little one which he roasted and then
taking slice ont of either jaw he and
his sister sat down to the feast. When
asked if he really ate the brains and
eyes, the little fiend sad:
YES, and they tasted good
When the mother returned and found
what had been done she did not show
the least sign of maternal grief but on the
contrary she went to the residence of
some white people near by and told them,
with a grin suggestive of the imbecile
that she is, that her baby was dead.
