DENIES THE ABDUCTION CHARGE.
MIR. Echols' Attorneys Say 1T Was Only
a Case of Protection.


BRISTOL. VA.-TENN., Jan. A.-Spe-
cial.-There is IL suit pending in the cir
cult court OF Washington county, Va, in
which Horace Green, complainant. al
leges that A. b. Echols, defendant, abb
Quoted his wife and children, but Instead
Of the suit having been brought OH the 2lst
instant. as was published, it was insti-
tuted some six months ago.
The facts in the case are as follows
Mr.. a. 3. Echols. a bachelor, lives with
his sister. Mrs. Spencer. who is widow
and the mother Of Mrs. Green. one day
last summer Mrs. Green came to Mr..
Echols on the street, in company with
her mother, and said that she could no
longer live with her husband on account
Of ill-treatment. and asked permission TO
go TO his house. Her request was gladly
granted. The same evening Mrs. Green
went with q wagon 10 her husbands house
and had her portion of the household
goods hauled away.
Mrs. Green is the neice Of Mr.. Echols,
and he lives With his sister. Mrs. Green's
mother. the place she would naturally
c. In time of trouble.
Shortly after Mrs. Green left her hus-
band and went TO Mr.. Echols' home
Horace Green obtained a writ of habeas
corpus for his children and had 1t served
on Mr. Echols. At the trial of the writ
the above facts were developed, Mr..
Echols also proving that he never had the
children in his custody or under his con-
troll. but that they were at his house
with their mother. who was free to come
and go at will. The charge that he had
spirited them away to Smyth county,
Va. was proven absolutely false The
writ was dismissed.
The suit for damages is based upon the
same state Of facts upon ze'ich the writ
OF habeas corpus was obtained, hence not
of very serious nature.
Mr.. Echols is one of our most sub
stantial and law-abiding citizens.

HIS PREOICAMENT.

This Young Man Was in Peck of Trouble
Through No Fault of His Own.
There is certain young man in Chi
cago whose natural propensity for be-
ing agreeable has sometimes placed
him in embarrassing positions. He has
not quite recovered from his latest
shock.
Two weeks ago he decided to accept
an invitation to certain club recep.
.tion. A young lady from the far south
side was to accompany him.
That evening when he called at her
fathers door the young lady was in
disposed. A female cousin happened
to be spending the evening at the
house, and being an old friend the
young man was ushered into the fam
lily sitring-room and introduced to the
cousin, whom he had never seen. Nat
urally enough he didn't catch her name
on presentation, and naturally enough,
too, he proposed that she go with him
to the reception.
Five minutes after the introduction
she withdrew to get ready. When she
came out prepared to keep out of the
cold she seemed only an animated bum
die of wraps.
1t was this animated bundle which a
few moment later retired to the club
dressing room set aside for ladies. She
came out metamorphosed beyond all
hope of Identification at the end of ten
minutes. Introductions to three or
four other ladies. had in the meantime
tended to still further bewilder the
young men, and he stood with a cold,
clammy sweat on his thoughtful brow.
What a situation! The escort of a
young lady whose name he couldn't
call and whose face he couldn't remem-
Der! And there were half hundred
of faces about the rooms.
Twice in the course of the evening
he thought he had found the young
lady. Each time he spoke guardedly
about her ''sick cousin" and each time
the young lady gave him a scarce look
as if she doubted his sanity.
1t was not she.
The evening dragged on somehow.
He thought several times of running
away-so somewhere anywhere - and
never being heard of more. Then a
happy thought struck him. 1t gave
him new hope of life.
People began to go home after a
time. The crowd thinned and the
young man watched hopefully.
Six women were left-ive-four-
three
Two.
And one other young man!
Then the other young man took the
arm of the tall young woman who was
smiling so graciously about her, leav-
ing sober-faced, demure little woman
buttoning her left hand glove.
And then, with great feeling of
thankfulness in his heart, the first
young man went forward and without
a word took the arm of Dead Ger
tainty!-Chicago Record.
