Valentine was asked this morning for
statement about his sudden departure
from this city with Mrs. Mulvaney He
says he was begged to come West with

nurse than anything else. After they
reached Salt Lake he says MulvaRey gave
his consent to his wifes departure; that
Mrs. Mulvaney intended going to Mexico
for her health, and asked him to accom-
pany her. He claims to be only friend
of Mrs. Mulvaney, and says his relations
with her have been nothing but honorable.
He claims to have letters that afford him
entire TO the best circles of any country.
one of them being from Governor-elect
Hastings, of Pennsylvania. At III o'clock
Valentine and Mrs. Mulvaney were called
to the District Court, and indictment
was read charging them with having
stolen money, watches and jewelry
amounting to ST. 100 from Thomas +. Null
vaney. Another indictment, the reading of
which was waived by the attorney in the
Defense charges the crime of adultery.
In default of bail Valentine was commit
ted to the penitentiary for safe keeping.
The case comes up again next Thursday.
1t is claimed Mulvaney will not prosecute
his wife, provided she win meet his terms,
which are understood to be that he will
require her to deed back to him the $780,

outburst from the prudes of that State
over the condition OF the allegoric figure

sculptor. Carl Rohlsmith. leans to a figure

bring about an outburst of Indignation from

cernment of the figure seen yesterday aft
ernoon. Various chemicals were tried to
clear the eyes. but failed. and the expert
ment was abandoned. Coroner Bowers.
Frederick Marsh and Sheriff Jenner said
to-day that they would take their oath that
the figure was plainly visible before the
eyes were taken from the. body. The COR
oner thinks it was a mistake to remove
the eyes, and that If the eyes had been un-
disturbed photographs could have been easi-
ly obtained. Much interest was taken in
this experiment, and the outcome will DE a
disappointment to many who expected TO
secure a better photograph from the eyes,
with the hope of getting some clew to the
murderer.

MRS. MATSoN's MURDER.
The Topeka Suffragfst Probably
Killed by One Who knew Her WAYS.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 2.-The most plaus-
ible theory of the murder of Mrs. Matson
appears to be that she was killed by some
one familiar with her ways and with the
fact that she kept money in her house col
lected each month from half dozen ten
ants. Mrs. Matson's husband, from whom
she is separated but not divorced, lives in
San Diego, Cal. She was expecting him to
visit her in Topeka some time this month.

Matson, the husband, was still there and
had been continuously A reply came this
afternoon. saying: ALBERT Matson is still
in the city, but has heard nothing of the
his house, about two miles out. He is a
music teacher here.
To-day two letters were found in Mrs.
Matson's house, written by her husband
from California in November. They told of
some domestic trouble between the two,
and expressed contrition ON the part of the
husband and a desire to return to Topeka,
which place he left several years ago.

Of Mrs. A d. Matson, who was murdered
some days ago in her house at Topeka,

of the terrible affair was when he was noti-

said he had idea of the identity of the
murderers and he knew of no trouble be-
tween his wife and others and, i'm fact
he has been away for several months and
did not know of the domestic arrangements
at his home. He said the last letter from
his wife was received some weeks ago and

bezzler Montgomery II. Lewis, former
auditor of the Lombard Investment Com

had nothing to do with the forgeries and
that higher officials of the company were
the guilty persons. Certain books kept by
Lewis were introduced, clearly showing
Lewis, in several instances, had changed
figures by which steals from 500 to 5000
were made. Other books, kept by both
Lewis and Russell, the runaway cashier,

''The other day." said congress
man, my wife was passing one of the
legations of the Orient. 1t was bright
warm, balmy day, almost like sum-
mer, in truth. Out in the front yard
was one of the ladies of the house, re-
splendent in complicated silks, and
with her blue black hair full of gold
pins and ornaments in the guise of
miniature fans. But what caught the
feminine eye of my wife was baby
this daughter of the sun bore in her
arms. 1t had black eyes and black
hair, and looked like n little splinter
of Asia. OF course my wife paused.
no woman on earth could have done
less. A new baby is always a subject
of breathless interest to all wO-
men. But add to it the fact
that it is of another and a far-otf
race and the natural feminine trans
ports rise almost to frenzy. So, OF
course, my wife came to a dead halt.
She smiled at the lady of the tea fields,
and was smiled at softly in return.
Then she looked at the infant. The
gratified guardian, possibly its mother,
| approached so as to treat my wife to q
fuller opportunity.
"'How old is it?' interrogated my

When Speaker Crisp occupies the
chair in the house of representatives
his son Charles stands always at his
right hand. The young mans official
title is Speakers clerk" and the du-
ties of his position are of a peculiar
nature. Anyone who has occasion to
deal with the iather soon finds out
how much dependence he places on
the son. 1t is also easy 70 see that the
speaker is devoted to the slim. Doyish
clerk who is his memory, his prompter,
his congressional directory and his
daily program rolled into oz>- There
Is no young man in this country to-
day who holds a more important and
arduous position than young Charles
Crisp. He looks like a schOOl-boy, SO
young and fresh is his face.
When the house is called to order he
appears at his fathers right hand.
The speaker doesn't need a lot of
memoranda; his son takes their place.
The business for the day has been laid
out by the committee on rules and the
speaker. Charlie Crisp has seen the
chairman of the committee or his clerk
and has the program in his memory.
He knows just what business has been
arranged for the daily session and in
just what order all bills are to be
taken up. He also knows which mem
bers are to be recognized to introduce
bills, and every man who is to speak
on every measure to be discussed. He
knows in what order it has been ar
ranged to recognize them and he
keeps his father apprised of the order.
Young Mr.. Crisp is the one person in
the house who knows the name OF
every member. When the new ones
come in he studies them up till he has
them all in his head. He knows what
committees they are assigned to and
frequently the subcommittees as well.
1t is one of his duties to be ready to
prompt the speaker with names OF
members, for in the rush of business,
confusion reig1s around the speakers
chair very frequently, but the speak
