services of w. H. Cole as his attorney.
He then came to this city, intending
to get the young lady as witness,
but when he ascertained that he was
to be discharged he returned to Gar
den City. To FREE PRESS reporter
he stated that he loves Miss Helen
and intended to marry her and care
for her honorably. He told her that
he would wait a year for her if..she
stays that long at Faribault. He de-
MES the charges against him and says
that he ceased to care for Miss Susan
upon learning that she had been fool
ing him and had been corresponding
with another fellow. He says that
she confessed some things to him
which would not appear well in print.
He says that he and Mr. and Mrs.
Williams do not get along well TO-
gether, and that this is what has
caused the trouble.
Mrs. Williams and Miss Helen were
visited in the Jail this forenoon by the
reporter and he found them quite
talkatlve. They gave many Of the
facts above stated. Mrs. Williams
stated that she did not want Mr.. Pal
mer to marry either of her daughters,
as she did not think that he was a
good man. Miss Owens stated that
she did not want to marry him with
out the permission of her parents, al
though she would be willing if they
did not object. She is quite fond of
the young man.
One principal objection to the we'd
ding was the fact that Miss Owens is
not of strong mind. She is willing to
return to Faribault. Steps will be
taken to see that she arrives there
safely and does not leave.
