better than she could to him. He said he

Miss Katz could not agree about the price
OF the board. He said that. he knew or
| had heard that Miss Munyon was nurse
or midwife, but denied that he knew the
business of the two women. He received
note from Miss Katz some time after
wards, asking him to send doctor. Just
now long after she had seen Miss Nun
yon, he did not know. He said he was
Wiling at that time to marry her. He
mad married her since, but the reason he
did not live with her was because thew
had her locked up.

The State rested.
Thomas. W. Trenchard, ESQ.,, opened
the case for the defense and said that thev
would show the jury that this was moth
ing but blackmailing scheme, and that
was all there was of it. Mr.. Trenchard
dWelt on the purpose of Miss Munyon's
visit to this city that it was not for any
criminal purpose, but merely matter of
boarding Miss Katz, but they couldn't
agree. 1t is perfectly inconceivable that
II there was any criminal offense these
people would have acted as they did right
where people could see them. "Gentle-
men, said Mr.. Trenchard, ''this is a
biackmail scheme, concocted by herself,
mother and father. They saw there was
a beautiful chance to get money. They
first demanded $500; then they asked $50.
Miss Munyon wrote here and asked what
it all meant. Then they went to Tyler
and ed him for money. 1t is all a put
up job. and think when you gentlemen
come to examine the documents YOU will
agree with me''
