Mr.. Hunden's statement.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In reference to two statements In
The Tribune of the issues dated June 10
and l6 in regard to the Henry Williams
case, 1 would say that neither article
contained the correct facts concerning
the incident. 1t is true that 1 was an eye
witness, but never gave any description
of the affair to any person for publica-
tion, consequently the statements appear
ing in your paper did not originate with
me and am not mistaken, as Special Of
ficer Levy claims.
Judging from the article, signed by Spe-
cial officer Levy, in yesterdays Tribune,
1t would seem that his reputation for
truth and veracity is about on the same
level with his inability as an officer of
the law. The indiscretion shown by The
officer in arresting Mr. Williams was suf-
ficient cause for his immediate removal
from office. The brutal conduct of a Mr..
Abraham did not escape the notice of by
ISLANDERS and had a patroiman been there
would no doubt have taken him into GUS
tody.
While / do not approve of the actions
of Mr.. Williams toward his wife on that
day, do claim that there was no provo
cation whatever for his arrest at the
time Levy seized him. Respectfully
yours, John Hunden.
1.-THE statement credited to Mr.. Hun
den was made by that gentleman to the
sergeant in charge of police headquarters.

QUIET MORNING WEDDING.
Nuptials of Mr.. G. Clifford Garrison
aud MISS Amelia Bechtold.

c. Clifford Garrison, of Schenectady,
N. Y, and Miss Amelia Bechtold.
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Bechtold, of Butler street, were united
In marriage at 10 o'clock this morning
at the brides home by Rev. Robert
Conrad. 1t was an exceedingly quiet af-
fair, the only guests in attendance be-
ing the immediate relatives of the we'd
ding couple, including l.. S. Richard
and family. of Scranton; Mr. and Mrs.
q. W. Garrison, Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.
Garrison, Harry Garrison and Miss
Bertha Garrison, all OF Wilkes Barre.
The company enjoyed a wedding dim
ner, after which the newly welded
couple left on the 1890 train for New
York, whence they will enjoy a trip up
the Hudson. They will at once begin
housekeeping at Schenectady, Mr..
Garrison having a neatly furnished
home in readiness for his bride.
The removal from the city of one
who has made herself so eminently
useful in church and musical circles as
has Mrs. Garrison cannot but occasion
sincere regret among her very large
circle of friends and acquaintances.
Possessed Of many personal graces and
a musical education of high rank,
she has been deservedly popular, and
has enjoved the esteem of all who
know her. The regret occasioned by
her departure is softened only by the
knowledge of the true worth of the
young man who has won her heart and
hand. Mr.. Garrsan is not a stranger in
these parts. A former Wilkes Barre
ian, he has many warm friends in that
city and here who know him but to
value his manly qualities. He and his
bride will begin their welded life with
the best wishes of a host of friends

That there are always at least two
sides to every story was newly In
stanced in the Won Storch case, yester-
day, when the defendants after spend
ing nine days in reciting their side of
the case rested and the plaintiffs made
their opening in rebuttal.
Judge Gunster was the first witness
of the day. He was attorney for Fer
dinand's heirs at the time Of the trans
fer of trusteeship from Bennett to Will
liam and Godfrey. The defendants
strove to prove by him that the cash
paid to Bennett in the transaction was
derived from the sale of coal mined by
the Delaware and Hudson company
under coal leases in which Ferdinand
held on the heaviest interest.
Leander and Robert Won Storch,
heirs of Ferdinand testified that they
knew nothing of the separate deed
being given to William for the land in
dispute, supposing all along that 1t
was given in trust to William and
Godfrey jointly, the same as had been
done with the farm tract.
Mrs. Hattie Won Storch, wife of the
defendant, gave additional testimony
of Currington's possession and i'm
provement of the property in dispute.
Obert Shafer, John Chenoweth, Samuel
Shook. George Spencer, Sarah Wealth
ers, Charles Pricel and II. b Lackev,
all old neighbors Testified to knowing
that burlington had occupied and i'm
proved the property. Several of them
had purchased grass from the plot and
paid burlington for It; others had
ploughed it and were paid for the work
by burlington.
