What Turner Says.
ST. LOUIS, No, April I5-J. Milton
iurner, ex-minister to Liberia, politician,
lawyer, and Of national celebrity, is at
the city hospital with fractured skull. A
light with his stepdaughter, Mrs. VIII.
lam Mason is the cause There are two
Sides to the story. His wife says:
IL has been my custom for years to
spread his meals in his room, no matter
what time he came home--l, 2. or o'clock
IN the morning. | was setting out his
supper when he came into the room and
wanted to know what l was doing.
Why, Milton I'm getting your lunch
son, replied.
What have you got to eatY he gruffly
asked. Then told him fricasseed
chicken, boiled rice, asparagus, young
onions, ham, pie and other delicacies.
. Is that ALP Why could get meal
like that for 10 cents anywhere he said.
All the time he swore dreadfully asked
him To keep quiet
Tried to Commit Murder.
He then threw bottle Of Worcester
1hre sauce into the fire. My daughter
heard him coming into the room She
asked him to keep still lie swore at her,
telling her to mind her own business.
Then he told her to take the children and
get out of the house. She said the chill
dren were in bed and it was too late at
night to leave.
Grabbing knife he rushed at her. She
backed into n corner. He clutched her
by the hair and yelled: IN kill you

she shrieked Defend yourself the best
you can; there are too many murders
now,' replied
"She reached for bottle, but he took
it away. Picking up broken pitcher
from shelf at her side she hit him over
the head "
Turner's story differs materially from
that told by his wife. He denies being
drunk. He told his stepdaughter to get
him something TO eat. She sassed him,
and quarrel ensued. During the excite.
ment she hit him on the head. Turner
loudly bcwails the girls ingratitude. He
says he spent over sl0,0O) on her educa-
tion. Her husband will not work, he
says, and Turner supports the whole fam
lily, including four little girls.
