MAGGIE RETAL|ATES.
Twice Acquitted in Court on
the Charge Of Petit
Larceny,
MRS. MONTGOMERY TURNS
And Enters Suit Against Her
Accuser for SIS, 900
Damages.
JURORS ENJOY The TRIAL
And AcQuit the Fair Defend
ant in Less Than Five
Minutes.
JURORS ENJOY The TRIAL

Once more has a petit jury acquitted
Mrs. Maggie Montgomery of the charge
OF petit larceny, and In less than hVe
minutes, too. Yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Montgomery was tried in the municipal
court before Judge Orr and jury on
the charge OF having stolen quantity
of dress Innings and towels from Miss
Elizabeth Hanes. The goods alleged to
have been stolen were in evidence, hav-
ing been taken from the possession Of
Mrs. Montgomery on a search warrant.
The testimony of Miss HaueS, the
prosecuting witness, practically con-
stituted the case. Miss HaneS proved a
very clear and positive witness. She
was likewise an attractive one, as in
addition to an interesting face, she
gave her testimony in gentle, musical
tones that almost riValed those OF Mrs.
Montgomery. She also wore sealskln
sacque, while Mrs. MontgOmery's dark
brown hair and rosy cheeks were set off
by cute SealSkin cap. Altogether the
jury found the trial pleasant, if not a
fair complainant and gentle defendant
were seated in the witness chair.
Miss Hanes told the jury that she and
her aunt, Mrs Elizabeth Walker, rented
apartments of Mrs. Montgomery the
beginning or last November. A month
later they left. Soon after that Miss
HaneS missed large quantity of dress
goods. pillow cases, sheets and towels.
She took no steps to recover them until
she read in the newspapers few weeks
ago that Mrs. Montgomery had been ar
rested Oh the charge Of stealing hat
from C. A. Lang'S millinery establish
ment.
Then she made complaint and OBJ
tanned search warrant. which Detect
i've Myerding executed in her presence.
Miss Hanes then identified three or four
towels and some dress lining which lay
OH the table in front of her as portion
of the
Goods She Had Lost.
Her aunt, who is an elderly lady, cor
roborated Miss Hanes' testimony i'll
every particular.
Mrs. Montgomery then took the
stand, and in answer to the questions of
her attorney, Mr.. Palmer. denied that
she had taken single article from Miss
Hanes or anybody. She insisted that
the goods seized on the search warrant
were all her OWE. and that she had
bought them from time to time, When
ever she needed them. Mrs. Mnntgom-
cry also testified, by way or showing
nnimuS on the part Of Miss Hanes ana
her aunt, that she, Mrs. Montgomery,
had found fault with them for cooking
in their rooms contrary to the under
standing had when they rented them,
and that there had also been n dispute

]. NJ T. ATKINSON.

]. NJ. f. ATKINSON. kinson, store
keeper for the Oregon Improvement
company, was appointed postmaster OF
Newcastle, Wash, mining town near
Seattle. His commission stated that he
was to serve until his successor was ap-
pointed, and after yainly waiting ten
years for that belated worthy he wrote
to Washington Offering to resign The
official who received his almost unprece-
dented proposition probably fell dead
from surprise, for the offer was ignored
Atkinson wrote again and again and
finally moved to Seattle, but the post
Office still chung to him as tenaciously
as the old man of the sea chung TO Sind
bad During the eight years that have
passed since then Atkinson has labored
with untiring zeal to get rid of the
Office he purposely offends politicians
of the opposite party, refuses to accept
his pay when Uncle Sam sends 1t to
him, lives IN Seattle persistently and
does everything he can think of TO pro
cure his discharge.
Strange to relate, Atkinson was sue
ceeded as storekeeper by Richard d.
Roberts, another man who has a post
Office on his hands and who Is also IN
despair because he cannot unload 1t.
Roberts Is postmaster of Franklin, and
Atkinson increased his responsibilities
by making him deputy postmaster at
Newcastle. Roberts is now discharging
the duties of postmaster at Newcastle
and is still postmaster of Franklin. Not
long ago leading Democratic politi-
clan of Washington wrote Atkinson de-
manding $50 as n campaign contribu-
ton. In his reply Atkinson refused to
contribute, but stated that for the last
eight years he had been conscientiously
but vainly endeavoring to secure his dis
charge as postmaster of Newcastle, and
that If the politician could secure the
appointment of his successor he would
gladly give him a much larger sum
than $25.

again take the high place in English
politics for which his talents fit him.
Many astute Observers believe that had
it not been for the scandal of 1885 Sir
Charles would be premier today, and if
he really aspires to a conspicuous place
among British statesmen his struggles
to attain it Will be watched with wide
spread interest.
Sir Charles Wentworth Dixie was
born at Chelsea ON Sept. 4, 1S43, and
is a member of a distinguished family.
His father was friend of the prince
consort, who made him a baronet and
secured his appointment as ambassador
to St. Petersburg. Sir Charles received
the best education that money could buy
and took high honors in the law. He
then visited America and wrote n very
able book called "Greater Britain" In
1868 he was elected to parliament to
represent Chelsea as Radical He ad-
yocated the abolition of royalty, and
Queen Victoria, upon being told that
she had once stroked the rising politi-
clans head when he was little boy,
remarked that she must have strol1ed
him the wrong way.
He served in the German ambulance
service during the Franco-Prussian war
and was in Paris during the commune.
About this time he married Miss Kate
Shell, a brilliant and handsome Irish
woman, who was often mobbed with
him by crowds who opposed his repub-
hcan views. When she died, her body
was cremated, and Sir Charles still at
fectionately preserves her ashes in an
antique vase. Finally friendship for the
Prince of Wales caused him to abandon
his ardent repubhcanism, and IN 1850
he became under secretary for foreign
affairs under Lord Granville He took
high rank Us n statesman and was prom
inently mentioned for premier before
the Crawford case ruined him. In 1892
he succeeded in re-eutering parliament
despite the opposition Of the Social
Purity association. and since then he
has been working hard TO secure great
political influence. Bis second wife. the
widow of Professor Mark Hopkins, was
4 firm believer III his innocence in the
Crawford affair and married him while
the scandal was ccnvulsing British So
ciety.
