ALICE PLATT'S QUIET DAY.
THE WOMAN ON TRIAL FOR HER
LIFE SEES NO VISITORS.
Says That MIR. Mussey Was Afraid to
Look Mt Her When on the Stand
Trial VIII Be Resumed
This Morning.

At the request of Alice Platt, nobody was
admitted to the county Jail yesterday to
see her, as she was worn out by the exac-
tions of the criminal court where she had
been for three days on trial for her life.
She realizes keenly that her every move
ment is watched, whether she taps at the
table at which she sits, with her index fin
ger or her middle finger. or with all of her
fingers-and that unfriendly eyes will see
in it some subtle manifestation of guilt. If
she momentarily relaXes her features there
are quick pencils to note that she "sneered
at the testimony that look of scorn''
crossed her face, and score of other "evi-
dences of her guilt
For three days she has sat in the court
room, close to her attorney, scarcely mov-
ing in her seat, never gazing curiously over
the crowd of morbid spectators, but with
her eyes fastened upon the witness on the
stand.
~ tried to meet the eyes of Mr.. Mussey
when he was on the stand,'' said Alice to
reporter for the Journal but he could
not look into my eyes and tell his story. He
carefully avoided even glancing at me
while he was on the stand. He knows why
he did not wish to meet my gaze"
The hearing of Alice Platt will be re-
sumed at 8 o'clock this morning. with
of Elizabeth, on the stand. At the justice
court hearing Carter testified to finding
one-tenth of a grain of strychnne in her
stomach, this quantity being sufficient in
druggist and school teacher. The stom-
ach of little Elizabeth was the second he
ever analyZed. The first was many years
ago when he was student. Major Wood
son has, as lawyers say, "crammed" him
self with medical knowledge, and when he
comes to the cross-eXamination of Mr.. Car
ter he will probably try to prove that the
limited experience of the chemist should be
considered in weighing the evidence he
may give before the jury. 1t has not yet
been established that the children died of
strychnine poisoning, although there seems
to be little doubt on that point, yet under
the strict ruling of the law it must be
shown conclusively that death resulted
from poison, and in order to convict the
defendant, that it was administered with
felonious intent.
The money for the defense of Alice Platt
was supplied by herself and her sisters
each of the women contributing an equal
amount for that purpose.

WALKED LIKE A WOMAN.
Twice Interrupted the Sunday
Lark of n Woman Barber.

Usually Queenie Redmond is a well be-
haved. light skinned mulatto woman. She
is probably % years old. Yesterday
Queenie essayed the role of the new COL
ored woman" without much success. On
week days she works in barber shop on
lower Grand avenue. where she wields
razor with skill and proficiency. Her touch
is delicate and she has never yet forgotten
to ask customer just before he was leav-
ing her chair, Shampoo Sir?" Yesterday
Queenie arrayed herself in Il suit of mems
clothes, and Solomon in all his glory never
looked like her. She startdd to call upon a
friend, a Miss Gordon. who lives near the
Natatorium. over on Bank street. She was
carefully picking her way along the muddy
street when Officer Morris Spied her. and
with rare intuitiVe knowledge guessed her
sex. He led her off to Central police sta
ton, where Captain Branham, after giving
her fatherly talk, told her to go and dress
no more in the garments of the cigarette
smoking sex.
Queenie promised faithfully to follow his
advice and left the station, but the tempter
was strong within her to see her friend,
Miss Gordon, and she started once more
for her home. An hour later Policeman
Lynch came into the station with Queenie
in tow and said he Guessed he believed
she was a woman" Queenie begged to be
allowed to go. but as she had broken faith
once the captain was afraid to trust her
again, so he ordered her locked up. Queenie
made first-rate looking young man, ex-
cept, as she said, she would forget and
walk like a woman"

MAYoRkLTY CANDIDATES.
Plenty of Available Material From
Which the Republicans May Select
the Next Mayor of This City.

Who will be the Republican nominee for
mayor? This is question that is agitat-
ing the minds of the politicians of this city
at present. There is plenty of good mate
rial TO select from and this is going to
make 1t hard 20 center upon any one man.
However, the Republicans are lining up.
preparatory to making a grand sweep of
things at the municipal election in April.
The campaign has already begun and while
the candidates are not making any loud
tight they are doing no little manipulating
Robert Marshman, Mayor Twiss and
Thomas Harmon are mayoralty possibiIi-
ties from the Third ward This ward has
been given mayor for a number of years
and, while all three of these men are con-
sidered dangerous candidates. II is rumored
about that the Republicans will honor some
other ward this year
In the Second ward Alderman C. N. HAM
mond would accept the nomination if il was
rendered him voluntarily and il Is possible
that he will make some fight for IL The
Fourth ward offers Alderman Trower Al
fred Weston and Alderman Widener Mr.
Trower has refused to become a candidate
but his friends propose to push his candi-
dacy. The First and Fifth wards nave no
candidates, or at least they have not as yet
sprung them.
The name of Police Commissioner Hor-
ton has just been added TO the list of
mayorality possibilities and he is being
tavorably talked of from all sides Mr.
Horton is a stanch Republican and would
make a strong candidate. He has not an
nounced his candidacy as yet but his
friends are urging him TO enter the race
MIR. Horton is popular business man, and
II nominated he would no doubt be elected
by flattering majority.

INDEPENDENCE.
Suffers n stroke of Paralysis and
Is Not Expected to Survive.

D. I. Caldwell, one of the best known ed
ucators in Jackson county, is dangerously
i'll 1T his home on North Liberty street.
Saturday night Mr.. Caldwell suffered a
stroke of paralysis which affected his en-
tire right side. Yesterday he recovered
somewhat, so to use his right arm, but
owing to advanced age IL is very likely
that the stroke will prove fatal.
Mr.. Caldwell is known 10 every school
teacher in Jackson county. Since 1863 he
has been school commissioner of Jackson
county, holding the position continuously
up to two years ago, when he was sue
ceeded by Steven A. Barrett the present
county superintendent. Mr.. Caldwell was
Obliged TO retire from public life by reason
of advanced age. He was born November
Z. 1a1, in Madison county, Ky. He moved
to Jessamine county. Ky, where he taught
school for number of years. From Jes-
samine county he moved to Jackson coun-
ty and took up his residence here in 1871
In 1860 he was elected school commissioner
and was reelected TO that office without
opposition continuously. Although Sc years
of age he was energetic in educational
matters almost up to the time he was
stricken with paralysis. During his resi-
dence in Independence and in his official
capacity he was looked upon as u man who
had given his life to the cause of educa-
ton. He has three children, Thomas Cald-
well, eN-county clerk and eN-deputy sher-
If; James Caldwell, 4 merchant, and a
daughter, Miss Fannie Caldwell.

Trouble has been brewing for the last
two weeks between the merchants and the
Clerks Union. The clerks circulated among
the merchants an agreement to close their
stores at o'clock except Saturdays. The
merchants thought this too stringent and
circulated a remonStrance, which declared
the plan proposed a detriment to business.
Shuril & Campbell, instigators of the re-
monStrance, Co-operated with Shankenbery
in circulating il, which resulted in the
clerks declaring a boycott on the latter'S
business. The Clerks Union held a Spe-
cial meeting yesterday at noon to discuss
the advisability of issuing general boy
the petition they signed. They appointed
n committee to lay their grievance before
the Trades Assembly. After hearing the
complaint of the clerks the Trades Assem-
bly, appointed a grievance committee to in
