WAS IN FEAR OF
PENITENTIARY
Letter Written by Actor
Ratcliffe After Beating
His Wife.
Conflicting Stories Told by Wit
neSseS During the Trial
for Assault.
but She Said She Was Supposed
to Be Dying.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Edward ].
Ratcliffe, whose trial for an assault
upon his wife was interrupted last week
by death in a jurors family, retold
the court to-day the story of the al
legged assault.
A letter written by Ratcliffe to his
wife after his arrest in Chicago was
introduced In it Ratcliffe pleaded to
have the prosecution stopped, saying
that he feared he would have to serve
two years or more in the penitentiary
do not allow" he wrote, "the sins
of the father to be visited on our two
innocent babes.''
Ratcliffe denied that this letter was
an admission of guilt
The janitor of the apartment house
in which the alleged assault took place.
was called as a witness for the defense
The janitor said that on the evening of
the alleged assault he saw Mrs Rat
cliffe, but noticed no signs of an as
sault having been committed upon
her. She was in good spirits, he said.
A few days later, the janitor said, he
suggested to Mrs. Radcliffe that she go
out for walk, and she replied: 81 am
supposed to be dying"
On DISCRIMINATION the janitor
was asked If he did not remember
hearing Mrs. Radcliffe say that she did
not care to send Radcliffe to Sing Sing.
but would like to send him to the peni-
tentiary for six months to teach him a
lesson. The witness replied: IT do not
remember that, but 1 do remember her
saying that she would like to have
Ratcliffe with his head against the
wall. with his hands tied behind his
back and then just soak him."
This reply somewhat disconnected
the prosecution.
Louis Lomosa, janitor of the apart
ment house next door to the Ratcliffes'
fiat, testified that he called the cab for
Mrs. Ratcliffe in which she drove away
soon after the alleged assault. There
were no marks or bruises on her face.
Lomosa said he further stated that
Kate MollOy, the maid who testified in
corroboration of Mrs. Ratcliffe had
told him that Mr.. Delacey, Mrs Rat
cliffes father, had told her that she
would be taken care of for the rest of
her life.
After further unimportant testimony
the defense rested.
The undertaken who was called to
bury Ratcliffe's child testified in re-
buttal of the defendants statement
that he had never been paid a cent.
The case was then adjourned until
tomorrow.

ACCEPTS HER DOVER
INTEREST IN THE ESTATE.
Mrs. Pullman Decides to Protect Her
xYo Sons, Practically Disinherited
by Their Father.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-Mrs. George NJ
Pullman has decided to accept her
dover interest in the estate of her hus-
band instead of abiding by the terms
of the will. According to the will she
was given $4,000 in cash, the home
stead in Chicago and the income from
81, ,250 900 during her life, the sum to re-
vert to the estate after her death. Her
acceptance of the will would have
made it practically impossible for her
to leave anything to the two sons, who
were practically disinherited by their
father. Her third interest of the dow
er gives her $4,000 in personal prop
erty and a one-third interest for life
in the real estate held by Mr.. Pullman
The estimate makes the estate of Mr..
Pullman aggregate at least SIS 000, 600
instead of $1,000, 900, as announced inn
mediately after his death.

cLARK'S BODY LAID IN STATE.
For the First Time in the History of Ken
tucky a Hegro's Body is
So Honored.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-A special to
the Herald from Lexington, KY, says:
For the first time in the history of Ken
lucky the body of a negro has laid in
state here. 1t was that of Lewis
George Clarke, who claimed to be the
original of George Harris in Uncle
Toms Cabin" His body reposed in
the Auditorium in Main street from 8
o'clock Sunday morning until in the
afternoon.
Hundreds of persons looked upon
on the features of the old quadroon as
he lay in the casket. The crowds
which passed in to see the body were
largely composed of negroes, but many
prominent white citizens of Lexington
also looked at the face of the old man,
who they believed had helped to make
history.
The body was removed from the
Auditorium to st. Pauls African Meth
odist Episcopal Church at a few min
ntes past 2 o'clock. The edifice was
pasked to the doors. The funeral ser
mon was preached by the Rev. A. ].
Chambers of Danville. Ky. After re-
citing the good deeds or the old man,
his struggle for his own freedom and
subsequent efforts in behalf of the
freedom Of his race, he said it would be
well for the negro to-day to try to
emancipate his race from the curse OF
liquor and of shiftlessness.
The body was taken at o'clock tC
Oberlin, to which town Clark had fed
fifty-siX years ago in his escape from
slavery.

One of the most delightful parties in
honor of a debutante was the one
given last evening by Mr.. and Mrs Nat

not only given on a most elaborate
scale, but differed materially from the

it's originality. The guests We're some

In the ballroom of the Bella Vista
the decorations were elegant and eIab-
crate, and in direct keeping with the
holiday season. Holly, red berries.
Christmas wreaths and red lanterns
were used entirely and the effect was
most artistic and pleasant. The guests
began to arrive at 8 o'clock and dane
ing was at once inaugurated. Between
the dances the following programme
of tableauX vivants, scenes and pictures
was presented on the stage of the

MOONSHINE IN
THE CHAPARRAL
Internal Revenue Collector
Lynch Discovers an
Illicit Still.
1t Was Making Brandy in the Brush
on Mountain Ranch in San
Luis Obispo.

A moonshining outfit in the wild
mountains of San Luis Obispo County,
forty miles from the nearest any
where, has been captured by Deputy
Internal Revenue Collectors L. NJ.
Noah of Los Angeles and D. J. Flan-
merry of San Jose.
When Internal Revenue Collector
Lynch was visiting the southern part
of his district recently on official busi
ness he secured some evidence tending
to show that Illicit distilling was being
conducted in Van Ness Canyon, in the
sparsely settled and remote mountain
regions of San Luis Obispo County. 1t
required several days to learn the To-
cation of the lawbreakers, and when
this had been done he instructed the
deputies named to procure a search
warrant and seize the plant.
Last Thursday they formed a posse,
consisting of themselves, a constable
and a guide, and after travelling about
forty miles over the most rugged
character of road they came to the
ranches of Joseph Brendel and Alfred
and Charles Goessel, each of whom
owned $50 acres.
The Groessels were not at home, but
Brendel was found on his place. He
has cultivated a small vineyard and
orchard, but outside of these there
were no improvements worth mention
ing. But there were dogs and rifles
enough on the place to cheer the heart
of the most enthusiastic hunter.
No liquor or other evidence of moon
shine was seen in the house, but in the
dense brush about a mile away TWEEN
ty-two bottles of brandy were discov-
cred concealed under some OK hides.
a little distance away the still was
found. 1t was complete and ready for
business and near it was a keg con-
tanning twenty gallons of pure Cali
fornia brandy.
The whole outfit was confiscated, to-
gether with a team of horses, a wagon
and harness. Brendel and his moon
shine distillery were loaded into the
wagon and taken to the town of San
Luis Obispo, where after an eXamina-
ton by Justice of the Peace the
prisoner was held to answer before
the United States Grand Jury in Los
Angeles and his bonds were fixed at
$500. Not being able to furnish the
bonds he was kept in custody to await
the action of the United States Grand
Jury. United States Marshal Baldwin
will leave this morning to convey the
prisoner to the Los Angeles County
iail
