WITHOUT HER KNOWLEDGE.
Catherine ShaCkIett Was Married and
Did Not Know Ii.

PHILADELPHIA. May 20.-A part of
the wretched story OF how j. Ross Lam
ders of Chicago deceived aged Catherine
Shacklett Of st. Louis into matrim0ny In
the Hotel Hanover is told by the duped
woman herself in bill she filed yesterday
for the annulment of the marriage. Mrs.
Landers is in the Presbyterian Hospital
Her affidavit is. in direct contradict on
of the story told all along by Landers TO
the effect that she had willingly consented
to the marriage and was deeply infatuated
with him. Mrs. Shacklett says that the
marriage was without her knowledge or
consent, against her wishes and desires
and was procured by fraud and coercion
on the part Of LanGers.
For four weeks before the date of her
marriage, she says, she was lying i'll in
Alexandria, Va, under the care of two
physicians. There Landers visited her
and took advantage of her weakened health
to induce her to accompany him to this
city. He told her that the doctors did not
understand her case. that their treatment
was making her worse Snstead OF better,
and that as Alexandria was very low she
would die in a short time If she stayed
there. They reached Philadelphia on April
"a, and Landers took her to the hotel
Hanover. Fatigued and weakened still
more from the journey, size was obliged t.
90 to bed. and her condition was aggra-
waited by Landers giving her drugs and
liquors to dull her intellect. AfterwaTd
she discovered that marriage ceremony
had been performed.
She had no knowledge of it, she says,
until Landers told her. She has not lived
with him since and has taken every means
to repudiate the marriage. and she AYERS
that she was not In condition to consent,
and did not consent to it. She asks that a
subpoena be Issued against Landers. COM

complaint, and that decree be made de-
clarng the marriage null and void. Judge

OLD BUT SENSATIONAL
Story of the Burning of Five
Hundred Indictments.
1t Was During the Reign of Lottery
King Simmons Fifteen
Years Ago.

New YORK, May 20.-The story of the
burning OF 500 indictments with the evil
dence on which they were obtained had
been narrated to a World reporter by
ambrose H.. Purdy. formerly an attache
of the District Attorneys office. 1t Oc-
Cured fifteen years ago, but until now the
story never got out. 1t was in the heyday
of the Lottery King Eph Simmons reign.
Time and again the lottery dens were
ralded and hundreds of indictments found.
but, strangely enough, few ever came to
trial. The explanation is, according to
Purdy, that Moses Clark, the District
Attorneys chief clerk, was receiving $500
a week for taking care Of the indictments
against lottery men and incidentally addi-
tional sums for similar services in behalf
OF other offenders Clark grew rich, had
a paIatial residence at Mattawan. \. j..

maintained princely style.
When he was taken i'll one day and it be-
came known that he was about TO die
panic seized his clients, who knew that
the eliminating papers were locked in a
safe at his home. Three OF them went
there, but Clark was too far gone TO give
them the com bnation. After he died they
sent for an expert safe-breaker and he
opened the iron case. 1t was their inten-
ton to destroy the only proofs against
themselves and associates, but as the pa
pers were found in great confusion they
were all thrown into blazing CRATE in the
room.
Purdy says Eph Simmons was one of
the three men who did the work, and an
other of the trio is dead. The name of the
other he may disclose later.
Anthony ComstOck gives full credit to
the story. and says the disappearance Of
the indictments and the records pertaining
to them did not cease with the death of
Clark. Such things take place even now.

the Carmaux Mining Company. In the
Avenue de fOpera, the bomb which after
ward produced the terrible explosion at
the police station in the Rue des Bons
Enfants,. to which it had been removed.
The latter catastrophe took place on
November s, 1892, but every effort to dis
cover the culprlt had proved abortive until
Emile Henri was arrested for the affair of
the Cafe Terminus, which occurred on
February -. Henri at first attempted to
establish an alibi IN the Carmaux affair,
but, according to the indictment, when
he was confronted with other anarchs 5
on February % he confessed his guilt. and
stated that he was the only culprit He
explained that his object had been to show
the CarmauX miners that the anarchists
alone were capable Of making any sacri-
nee for their cause. He was In possession
of twenty dynamite cartridges and fabri-
Gated the internal machine himself.
Henri added that be had been under the
impression when he laid the bomb at the
door of the CarmauX Mining COmpany's
offices that it would explode in five or six
minutes, and had foreseen the possibility
of its removal by the police before it went
off. In his opinion. however, this did not
signify. as, if the rich people in the Avenue
de l'Opera escaped the fate which he in
tended for them. he felt sure that the
polce-Who were also his enemies-wO
suffer.
The catastrophe, as will be remembered.
did not take place until the bomb had
reached the Commissary's Office in the Rue
des Bons Enfants. The result was fearful.
In the vestibule policeman who had as
sisted in carrying the internal machine
was killed, while in the office in which it
had burst the floor was torn up and the
walls were despatched with blood. Near
the window. those who hurried to the res
cue walked literally on strips of flesh.
The Commissary's secretary, a police
man and a messenger were killed on the
spot, and an inspector expired few hours
afterward.
Such is the crime for which Emile Henri
was executed. in addition to that of the
Cafe Terminus, with the details of which
all are familiar.
Throughout his trial Henri explained
anarchistic theories whenever opportunity
offered. He often interrupted the Judge
10 correct statements concerning anarchist
views, always speaking in a cynical,
patroniZing way.
