lowest demons. The whole thing wa:
miseraibly executed and THE view of tht
body when closely examined wa:
enough 10 cause a man to almost los,
his head TO such a degree as 10 favor
lynch law. When compared TO tn
oharT7ed remains of Sewer, who wa.
killed and his body burned by NJ cNut'
and Winner, the sickness Of that dealt
seemed Like a blessing when compared
TO the butohery employed by the mur
deTers Of H. H. Leonard on Sunday
might, Nov. II, 1895.
hOOAlI MI f1E<M.
On Saturday evening, Oct 3, Leonard
went ITO the office Of Probate Judge
Myaitt and obtained a license. The Ii,
cense is now in the Eagle office, with
line of red ink drawn across the face
Of 1t which says: Not used; CANCEL
ed" The license is for Henry H. Leo.
nard of Wichita, Kan, aged 80 years
and Irene Williamson, Of Wichita,
Kan, aged 80 years.
When Mr.. Wyatt made out the IL
cense Mr.. Leonard made a special re-
quest of him not TO have il published
or allow it to be published, as ne had
good reasons for having the fact Of his
marriage kept quiet. Mr.. Wyatt did not
inquire into his reasons but promised &c
fulfil his request and did not record the
license for the time being. MIR. Leo
nard then asked Judge Myatt TO go 10
302 South Mosely avenue at 7:30 O'Clock
the following Sunday evening and mar
ny them.
Sunday evening at the appointed hour
Judge Myatt went ITO Mrs. Williamson :
house ON South Aosely and found her
there with her bridesmaid waiting to be
married. Shortly after Mr.. Myalht ar
rived Leonard also arrived dressed in
his wedding clothes.
While chatting for a little while Mr.
Leonard dropped a remark that arous-
ed Judge Myatt's suspicious and he Inn
mediately investigated him with THE re
suit that Leonard admbtted that he had
been divorced only a month. He there
upon informed Leonard that the law
prevented divorced person from get
ting married before THE six months linn
it and refused to marry them and can
celled ithe License.
After being informed of THIS Leonard
asked Judge Myant whether he could
not go ito a neighbOring county and
marry there, but Mr.. Myatt informed
him That gi1e law was the same all over
Kansas. He then asked Judge Wyatt
whistler he could not get married in
Missouri and the judge informed him
that he did not know the Missouri law
ON the subject and hence could not ad-
wise HIM
Leonard seemed very desirious of get
ting nlaIutlad, and both he and his would
be wife We're very much disappointed.
WAS LEONARD DRINKINK?
There was some controversy yester-
day as to whether Leonard was drink
ing or sober. He possibly was drink
ing. Saturday night le was seen rid
ing i'm a carriage and he told some par
ties iti1alt Mrs Williamson was out with
him. twiilhsta nding this. nobody
seen yesterday had seen Mrs. William
SON with him. The man who saw Leo
nard last on Sunday could not be seen
either. Somebody said that he saw
Leonard about 8 o'clock Sunday night
at dhe back door of Mrs. Williamson's
house trying ito get in and that he ap-
oeared to be under the influence of
liquor. a reporter for the Eagle search
Id in vain for this person. He also
searched in vain for the man who was
TO have said that he saw a
nan running out of the alley north of
where the dead man was found, about
o'clock yesterday morning. This man
Who was said ito be seen running out of
ihe alley is described as a middle sized,
riddle aged man with a heavy dark
nustache. That the body was removed
nom the stable in the rear of Mrs. Will
iaInsion's house 10 where it was found
lbout l O'Clock yesterday morning is
thought to be correct by the neighbors,
many of whose dogs baTked about that
uour.
