She WROTE TO TEE LOVER
Mrs. N. s. Adams Tried to Prevent
Her Niece Marrying 3. 8. Ryan.
Justice Mills Has Issued Warrant for Her
Arrest fer Sending Obscene Nat
ter Through the Mails.

A warrant issued yesterday for the arrest
of Martha s. Adams, an elderly ydressmaker,
who resides at No. 946 Westminster street
northwest, promises an unusual story and
some peppery developments in court to day.
The complainant, whose name appears on
the warrant, is Mr.. Edward s. Ryan, a car
penter, who resides at No. 1910 Eighth
street northwest.
Mrs. Adams is charged with violating
section 1898, of the Revised Statutes, as
amended, by sending obscene letters through
the mail to the complainant. The case viii
be tried at noon to-day by Judge Samuel G.
Mills, sitting as United States commissioner.
Mr. Ryan was seen last night at his resi-
dence, but declined to discuss the matter
before the hearing takes place. A friend,
however, gave an interesting account OF
the alleged causes which led up to the
issuance or the warrant.
Mrs. Adams has a very pretty and accom-
plIshed young niece, to whom il is said Mr..
Ryan is engaged to be married, the event
to take place within a few days. AS the
niece has been the sole companion OF
her aunt, and very agreeable one II that,
il is alleged that the latter attempted
to break Off the match, and in order 10 do
SO wrote to Mr.. Ryan q series OF Letters
informing him that the young lady had not
been loyal to him, but kept company with
other men.
The letters were couched in inelegant
terms and made serious charges against
Mr.. Ryans betrothed.
When the letters were shown TO the niece
she recognized them as being in her aunt's
handwriting, il is said, and she remem-
bered. too, that Mrs. Adams had begged
her not TO marry Mr. Ryan and leave her all
alone in the world. She had also, u is
alleged, offered the young lady all sorts
of Inducements to break off the match.
Mr.. Ryan put detectives to work on the
case and soon located the coloTred boy,
who was paid by MIS-. Adams to mail The
letters TO him. II is said the boy has
identified several OF the envelopes, which
are in Mr.. Ryan's possession. He VIII be
sed Us q witness in the case to-day.
When n reporter called at the house
OF Mrs. Martha Adams on Westminster
street last night, the house was closed as
tightly a s an Egyptian tomb. She had
left word with neighbor, however. that
she and the niece with whom she does not
want TO part were visiting friends in
Alexandria.
II was whispered about the neighborhood,
however, that wlian Mrs. Adams returns, it
viii be without the pretty niece, who, it
was said, had decided TO remain away
from WashinEf foUfor aseason.

FLANNERY ACQUITTED.
His Versions of a Midnight Enoounte
with Negro Assailants Was Relieved.

His Versions of Midnight Encounter
with Negro Assailants Was Believed.
There was a very much mixed up case
in Judge MIXERS court yesterday, in
which Lot Flannery, sculptor about sixty
years OF age, two United States marines,
and several colored men figured. Flannery
was charged with carrying concealed
weapons, and Daniel Lee, the only one Of
the colored men captured, with assault.
Mr.. Flannery was in his studio on Cap
itol hill, be said, when he was disturbed by
the barking OF his dog about half past IL
O'Clock, and ne went out to investigate,
taking his pistol with him. He was set
upon, he claims, by several colored men
In his front yard, and felled to the ground
and was being severely handled when two
marines came TO his assistance and drove
off his asSailants, capturing one of them.
The rest ran toward the Capitol grounds.
One of the marines then took his revolver
from him TO prevent mischief.
Lee denied that any assault had been
made on Mr.. FlanDery, but said that the
marines had beaten him and had fired q
revolver at him. No one apparently knew
exactly who had fired the revolver. The
judge gave Lee six months in Jail and
acquitted Flannery.
