Several atfidavits to iJIe same effect were
also introduced.
Harriet De Boes of New York testified
that she was present when John Stetson
made his offer of marriage to Miss Rich-
mond The offer was accepted.
Lawyer CASTOR, for the defense, claims
that John Stctson was Il curious charac-
ter in Boston. He married Evelyn Wood
son in 1863. but in 1866 Quarreled with
her and lived with various women after
wards. The ceremony with Miss Rich
moud was never performed, but there was
simply an arrangement to blind the police.
She left him in 1878, and they finally
parted in Chicago in 1874. Then John
Stetson lived with other women until
1887. when he married Kate Stokes. Affi-
davits were presented to the effect that
Ada Richmond's r.aiden name was
Bridget Sullivan, and that she married
John A. Marahan, doorkeeper of New
York theater; that in 1867 in New Or
leans she passed as the wife of John A.

Birmingham, Ala, March 10.-A gang
of train robbers held up the Louisville

| Cincinnati, this morning near Callera,
Ala, and relieved the express messenger
of about $1,000 in cash.
Calera is a small town about thirty

necr of the train, gives the following ac-
count of the robbery:

Engineer Orr saw them empty the dy-
Mantle out of the sack and put the money
in it. The robbers then made off in the
darkness with their booty. None of the

the train was delayed for only about
fifteen minutes.
