Col Woods Widow Charges the Kansas
Judge with Completely In Her Husbands
Murder Brennan Goes Free.
TOPEKA, Kan. Jan. 2O-Mrs. S. n.
Wood has written letter to Gov.
Humphrey in which she denies that she
and her friends are plotting to take
Judge BotlSin's life She further says
that she has ample proof of the fact
that Botkin was one of the chief insti-
gators of the murder of her husband,
Col. Sam Wood, and that the evidence
can be produced in court when the wit
nesses can go there and tell what they
know without fear of assassination.
W. +. Rightmier, secretary Of the
National Citizens alliance has written
a letter to the Topeka Advocate in
which he declares that Judge Botllin
told John L. Garrison in his room in a
Topeka hotel: IF can ever get Wood
10 Hugoton he will never get out alive,
as all arrangements are made TO kill
him there. Mr.. Rightmier then de-
clares on his word as an attorney he
believes that he has in his possession
sufficient evidence to convict BotlSin of
completely in the murder of Col Wood.
The attorney general sent instruc-
tions to the county attorney at Hugo
ton to enter a motion of uolle pros in
the case of James Brennan, the slayer
of Col Wood, when the case comes up.
BY this motion Brennan will be dis
missed, but may at any time, when the
conditions may be favorable TO fair
trial, be rearrested and tried for the
murder Attorney General Ives says
there is little likelihood of Brennan
ever being tried

Visit to Waterbury of Very Rev stephen
Issa of Asia.
The Very Rev Stephen Issa of Mesa
potima in the eastern part of the Holy
land, who has been in this country
since last October, was the guest of the
Rev Father Mulcahy yesterday and cele-
brated the 1890 mass at the church of
the Immaculate Conception. He de-
livered an interesting address upon the
people and religion of his native land.
Father Issa is specially honored by the
pope with the title of monsignor. He is a
learned man and interesting speaker.
He is in this country. for the purpose of
collecting funds for the support of the
scattered tribe of HISTORIANS, who live
in the mountains of.".Arrarat and who at
the end of 200 years are now returning
to the Catholic faith. They are in an
impoverished condition. The reverend
gentleman says that the customs and
habits of the people are similar to the
ways stated in the bible and that they
are fast returning from the heresy in
which they have lived for so many cen
turtles. The collection taken up for his
mission at the church yesterday
amounted to $3.50. Father Issa left to-day
for Ansonia, but will return and be the
guest of Rev Father Bourret of st AIMS
Il church next Sunday.

HAVE FURNISHED BONDS.

All of the Employees of the Adams
Express Company.
The employees of the Adams Express
company of the entire New England
division have had the bonds returned
to them by the indemnity company in
New York city, which is furnishing
them for their signatures. The stated
purpose of the company in requiring a
bond from each employee, is to insure
against loss by miscarriage, or theft of
money, and the amount of the bond is
measured by the Importance of the
position. Drivers pay from So to 81,
clerks from So to $12, and agents from
$12 to $50 per year to the company
which furnishes the bond. A peculiar
feature of the new order of things is
that the securities must all be furnished
by a certain company in the city of
New York, which makes thereby a neat
sum. A good authority places the
amount thus taken from the employees
of the New England division at $32, 900
for the first year.
