In The Afternoon.

There was the same old big' crowd
IN the room at the opening of court
this afternoon. Many Of the faces
are now familiar ones, but they are
learning the lesson of the necessity of
good order and the opening proceed
ings were watched with interest.
Court opened at 2:25. Attorney
Samuels began by reading the abstract
of the decree of divorce granted Vic
toria A. McMananie, from her husband
Dennis McMananie on Nov. Both, 1889.
at Minneapolis at which time she
was granted authority to resume her
maiden name, Victoria A. Stein.
The plaintiff came in while the
paper was being road, and at it's con-
clusion Attorney Samuels asked per-
mission for brief conversation with
her, and the court waited.
Upon their resume plaintiff was
called upon the stand and the reading
of defendant alleged letters was re-
Sumed.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1894-12-14

been discussed and passed from mouth
to mouth until the sensational fea-
lures have smOte the ear of many who
have not been near the court room.
1t is believed the most sensational
letters have already been read, and
the spectators this morning scarcely
noticed the missives signed by the
well-known ''Pops."
When the exhibits had been read
well along into the "thirties' this
morning the plaintiff became visibly
affected. She wept profusely, but
stood the ordeal bravely for some mo-
ments. Then she was overcome and
left the court room.
Some of the letters read this morn
ing are printed below. The evidence
for the plaintiff is generally believed to
lie mainly in these letters, and those
which bear close relation to the
point at law are printed with the in
tention of giving the FREE PRESS
readers an opportunity to form their
own opinion of the merits Of the case.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1894-12-14

Attorney Samuels performing that
very arduous duty in his own peculiar
way. He read the missives slowly,
distinctly, so that every word was
caught by the spectators as well as by
the jury. But the audience this
morning was not nearly as large as
yesterday, and in it were many of the
familiar faces of regular court habi-
tues. The room was not more than
half filled at 10 o'clock this morning,
though considerable number stray
gled in until the noon hour. There
was plenty Of room for all, however,
aside from the standing room de-
partment' at the rear of the jury box,
which has been cut off by a rope
fence. This space was packed full
yesterday and thes jurymen in the TOP
row of chairs were subject to consid.
cradle annoyance from the jostling
from behind.
The letters are not attracting the
attention they ,1did. Those which
were read yesterday afternoon have

March 26, 1891. MY DEAR
''TOOTs:"-I am all undressed and
ready to go to bed, so you see [ think
of you all the time. We are in a
pretty bad fix SO much of our help is
down.
am glad you don't feel so towards
me as when left you last. [ know it
makes it hard for you, and for me
both. Well good bye, lots and lots of
love and kisses. "POPs."
P. S. l did not forget you in my
prayers last night.
The attorney for the plaintiff here
asked Mrs. Stein what Saulpaugh re-
ferred to when he said 81 am glad you
don't feel so towards me as when l
left YOU" She said, she referred to his
failure to fulfill his promise to me and
kept asking him to marry me, but
he always put me off from week to
week, from month to month, and he
referred to:my feelings, for when he
was up, the night before he wrote
this letter, he renewed his promise and

The Shakespearean Puzzle.

Ignatius Donnelly claimed that
plays and proceeded to endeavOr to
of his own invention. AS if this were
not enough, there has arisen another
man who claims even greater things
for Bacon, contending that Francis
was the author of about all the litera-
ture of his time, However, as Inger-
soil says, if Bacon did not write
Shakespere's plays, he missed the OPP
portunity of his life. He missed an
other too. He never had an oppor-
tunity of enjoying trip over the
Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad. The
Duluth Short Line, as this road is
generally known, is the popular route
between st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth, West Superior and other
Northwestern points for all classes of
travel. 1t runs the finest patterns of
equipment, it's trains running rapidly
and smoothly at convenient times be-
tween the handsomest terminals,
where close connections are made with
trains running to all parts of the
United States and Canada; and it's
ample and modern facilities and per-
feet service have been such as to win
the travelling public and keep it. Its
route lies through prosperous region,
where the best of opportunities for
profitable investment are to be found.
Always take the Duluth Short Line.

About New York.

Letter No. 81 was read this morning
during the absence of the plaintiff
from the court room. Attorney Sam
uels repeated it this afternoon as fol-
lows:
[ am just going to bed; it is 1890.
What do you think of it? [ have just
been to work setting up cots. There
are five cots full and six empty. /
cannot tell when [ may be up, but it
will be just as soon as l can, maybe
tomorrow night, but don't look for
me for | don't think can come. How
would you like to live in New York
City for about four years? Well, dear,
good night and lots of love and kisses.
"Pops."
Attorney Samuels asked her if she
knew what was meant by Giving in
New York for four years."
The plaintiff said it referred to a
big stone contract which his father
expected to get on the North river.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1894-12-14

upon the defendant, and ripples OF
laughter burst forth as the now famil-
lar "Pops" was repeatedly introduced,
he smiled confidently. 1t was not
difficult to observe, however, that he
was, in his innermost thoughts, an
nOyed to no small extent. The audi
ence remained until the last letter
was read and no doubt would have re-
NAMED many hours longer, so great
was their desire to hear every word
spoken in reference to the case. All
sorts and conditions of men were
present, and scores of schoolboys
crowded towards the front notwith-
standing the fact that the court had
ordered them out, but among such a
vast crowd such thing was next to
impossible, and they were's suffered to
remain.
None of the weaker sex were pres
ent, except the plaintiff and her
mother, and as the subsequent testi-
mony is liable to- be of slightly
darker tint than that already given
it is not likely that any will be bold
or curious enough to come.
The attorneys, having worn them

and woke up ten times during the

you were and whether you thought OF

there and thought of you. could see

again and went to sleep, dreaming of
you.

longer but not another hour. 1t will
take pretty near that to get things
fixed up and then another son-of-a-
gun for California. 1t is impossible
for me to stay here. And accept my
thanks for your advice. 1t was very
kind in you to give, but I can't do as
you suggest.
"Toots," pardon me, for if my let
tiers bore you, but you are the only one
L can talk plain to. And this is the
only enjoyment | take is in writing
you. | can write just as [ feel and [
cannot talk or write to anyone else.
Enclosed please find a clipping I cut
from a New York Clipper last night,
and Alice, it expresses my feelings
better than | can myself.
Well dear. good bye and God bless
you Alice. Lots and lots of love and
kisses. Bye, bye. ''POPs."
SOME DAY.
Some day think you will be glad to know
That have ever kept you in my heart,
And that my love has only deeper grown
In all the time that we have lived apart.
Some day when you have slipped away from care
And idly fall to dreaming of the past,
And sadly think of all your life has missed
VIII you remember my true love at last?
Or will 1T come to pass, some dreamy night,
After day that has been hard to bear
WhenyO are weary, heart-sick and forlorn,
And there is none to comfort and to care
That you will close your tired eyes and dream
Of tender kisses falling soft and light,
Of restful touches soothing back your hair.
And sweet words spoken for your hearts de-
light?
Perhaps, then, you II remember and be glad
That so long have kept you in my heart,
And that your souls true home will yet be there,
Although we wander silent and apart.
Here the plaintiff was overcome by
emotion and left the court room, while
Clarence looked on unmoved.

Last nights session of court was adj
journed on the letters, which had been
decided as competent evidence. At
3:45 p. N. Attorney Samuels, for the
plaintiff, began reading the letters
and filing them for record with the
stenographer. He read exhibit "A''
as follows, to the jury:
MANKATo, Mimi, Dec. IA, 1890. My
DEAR TOOTS: / have been awful lone
some these last few days without you,
but | thank God it can't last long.
We have been very busy lately as we
have had many bOarderS and my
father and mother celebrated their
10th anniversary.
Have you had any goodies since /
was with you last?
| will look for a letter from you
tomorrow morning. Well good bye
and lots of love and kisses for you.
Good bye, Sweetheart. POPS"
'EThe letter is written on "Saulpaugh
House" paper, in Clarence's hand
writing" said the plaintiff. "He al
ways called himself ''Pops" as term
of endearment, and me 'Toots." All
his letters are written in this way.
He put special delivery stamps on
most of them"
Much merriment was INDUCED in as
each letter ended up in Pops" and
the court with' difficulty suppressed
the laughter-the audience, both old
and young, rich and poor, straining
their ears to catch each syllable. The
defendant listened with apparent
interest and at times smiled and
laughed with the rest of the
spectators.

Like Getting Married

According to this letter the de-
PENDANT wanted a loye-water diet.
1t was as follows:
August 10, 1891. My DEAR "TooTs::''
4 received letter from father say
ing that mother is better.
When you want money let me know
and [ will send it down. In better
spirits now.
1 may get $4,000 for the property,
and then I'll put it in bank stock and
get that back again, and with what
money l have got out and with my
share of the rent, which will be about
$500 month, guess you and l will
be able to live; if not, we can live on
love and water. I'll furnish the love,
for when we see each other again it
will be like getting married. Good
bye, darling. Lots of love and kisses.
May God bless you. "POPs."
