Ex-senator Martin takes 1t all back.
Shortly before the last state election
he made statement which reflected
on the personal character of ,Nels.
Acres, the lola republican politician.
He said something about Acres being
an sll-round scoundrel. Acres sued
him for slander, and the suit was pend
ing until last week when Mr.. Martin
published card in which he said be
had been misinformed and that Acres
was a nice man so far as he knew, OK

that Kansas would have been better off

is taken from an editorial recently ap-

Here is another case of standing up
for Kansas credit. Arkansas City

tive in getting the bonds voted, were
sfterwsrd opposed to paying them, and
they have recently secured court de-
cision which relieves the city from pay
ment. Some bondholder in the East
has thus been swlndled, and is now
bowling about reputation in populist
Kansas, and there was not populist
in the deal.

of which Peck has been the leader con-
stitutes most of the leading republi-

reference to them as ones whose name

A pleasant affair occurred at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Clark Keysor at
high noon today, being the marriage of
their daughter, Miss Amy NJ, and Mr.. Ed
A. Morse, of Fennimore, Grant Co., Wis.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. F.
Stout, in the presence of a few friends. No
cards were issued. After the congratula-
tons had been said, the party sat down to
a we'll prepared repast.
The bride wore dark brown crevenette
dress, with silk velvet trimmings, and
adorned with appropriate flowers. The
happy couple took the 2:3o o'clock train
this afternoon for their future home at
Fillmore, where they will commence house
keeping at once.
The presents were many and of a hand

The bride has spent her life in this city

Judge William Henry De Witt is
one of the most prominent lawyers and
judges in East Tennessee. He is a
leading member of the Southern
Methodist church in Chattanooga, In
legal business and social circles he
stands high, and his statements, says
the Chattanooga Press, are regarded
of special weight because of his vener-
able character, he being nows67 years
old.
He has held several prominent posi-
tions in legislative and judicial Ca
pacity, having served as member of
the Southern Congress at Richmond
during the war, and since that time as
judge of the Chancery Court, one of
the highest offices in judicial practice
next to the Supreme Court!
He was admitted to the bar in 1860.
In 1855 he was elected to the State
Legislature, but declined a re-elec-
tiOn.
After his removal to East Tennes-
see he was appointed special chancel-
or by Gov. Taylor, and filed the
office for two years. He has success
fully practiced before the Supreme
Court of the United States for years.
In recent years, owing to the heavy
work he has performed, he has been
subject to nervousness, and his atten
tiOn has been called at various times,
both by friends and physicians, to the
need of fortifying himself against
physical collapse. His attention was
called to Paine's celery compound as a
vitalizing force. He sought and OBJ

ST. PAUL, Feb. 18.-The senate held
two sessions, the afternoon one being
unusually busy. The large number of

At 1926 o'clock he was turned over to

everything that could possibly connect
him with the murder of his sweetheart
and had got along fairly well with the
assistance of his patient attorney.

The day was an interesting one in the
extreme, being filled with the troubles
between the witness and his brother
Adry, he said, had proposed all the
bloody details of murders. Harry ex-
planned that he had been so shocked at
his brothers depravity that he had re-
solved to sound many other people to
see if they had such wonderful con-
sciences. Instead of having threatened
to kill his brother with knife, Adry,
he said, had threatened to rip his en-
trails out, mad threatened to kill his
father and had often stated that he was
so devoid of conscience that he could
kill his father easily and not be troubled
about it afterward. All through his
evidence it was Adry who had been the
fend, Adry who was the slaughterer,
Adry who had mania for killing peo-
pie, Adry who was a member of a
gang, and yet, with all this, he went on
to tell how he confided all his business
to Adry and begged his father to take
him back into his employ.

TWO rlANKATO YOUNG LADIES
LED TO THE ALTAR.
The Perry-Davis Nuptials Yesterday
Afternoon = The nOrse=KeysOr
Wedding at High Noon Today.

From Wednesdays Daily.
1t becomes our pleasant mission today
to chronicle two very happy events-one
occurring yesterday afternoon, the other
this noon.
At about $50 yesterday, in the presence
of only few intimate friends, Miss
Mamie !. Davis of this city, and Mr.. W..
H. Perry of ST. Peter, were united in mar
rage by Rev. L. w. Beattie, at the bride
home, 100 Cherry street. The ceremony
was brief one and was followed by a
dainty repast. The bride was presented
with several handsome gifts AT 7 o'clock
the bridal couple took the Northwestern
train for ST. Peter, accompanied by few
friends. They go to housekeeping imme-
diately but expect to take trip next sum-
mer.
The bride is one of Mankatos most char
ming young ladies, the elder daughter of
Mr.. VIM. Davis. She has resided in this
city since early childhood, and as she
grew to womanhood her many graces of
person and character made her favorite
of a large circle of friends, both in this
city and elsewhere. Her absence will tru-
ly be loss to Mankato social circles, and
St. Peter will gain a most estimable mem
Der of society.
Mr., Perry has for several years been
station agent for the Omaha road at ST.
Peter. He is to be congratulated upon
securing bride so we'll fitted to preside
in his household.
The FREE PRESS joins their other friends
in wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Perry a long life
of usefulness and happiness.

HARRY HAYWARD'S TALE.
Defendant in the Celebrated Murder Case
Continues His Story.

Defendant in the Celebrated Murder Case
Continues His Story.
MINNEAPoLIs, Feb. 26.-Harry Hay
ward, the defendant in the murder trial,
resumed the stand at the opening of
the court. He had evidently been eau
toned by Mr.. Erwin not to be too prolix
in his evidence, and showed dispo.
sition to condense his testimony. His
narrative was resumed at the point
where he returned to the Ozark after
the theater and first heard the news
that there had been an accident. He
had difficulty in persuading Goosman,
who was telephoning about it to police
headquarters, who was killed. He
thought it was Miss Cling or Miss
Ireland, and when finally he learned
that it was Miss Cling he became very
much excited.
Convinced She Had Been Murdered.
81 thought of all our relations" he
said, "and how had lent her money. I
remembered that she had often asked
me to lend her my revolver and, as I
thought the matter over, became con-
WINGED that she had been murdered. I
don't know what I said to the people
there or at the police station. I'd rather
you'd take their story for that, as it is
probably true. But was very much
excited. I told the officers that she had
on blue dress skirt and not black
one, because I knew it must be so.
There are about 60 days in October and
November. During those 60 days had
probably seen her 80 times, and am
sure that out of the 80 times there were
81 when she had on shirt waist and
blue skirt. That was why I spoke as
I did"
Sample of Prolix Explanations.
This testimony is fair sample of the
prolix explanations to which the defend
ant seems prone. Mr.. Erwin then asked
him to describe his experience in the
''sweat box" and despite Mr.. Nye's OBJ
jections, he was allowed to do so. He
said he went down town the morning
after the murder and was met by a de-
tective, who asked him to go to the
chiefs office. He did so, and was there
under constant fire of questions all
day. He would tell his questioners a
lot of things; they would go out and find
them all true, and fresh squad Of in
quisitors would take their places.
Hayward described how he was taken
to the morgue and shown the dead body
with everybody watching him. He did
not know what he did, but said he felt
very bad and knew every one there
thought him guilty. He went to Miss
Ireland and offered to do anything about
the funeral he could. He ordered some
roses from florist, and attended the
funeral. On Thursday he and Adry
were arrested and put in cell together.
Adry seemed very down in the mouth
and Harry had said to him:
The Holdup Brought In.
"We're not guilty. What's the use
of feeling this way?''
But Adry was dispirited and finally
Harry had said:
''Adry, what is this? You held her up
