Says Her Sons Are Prosecuting Her Because
She Refused Them Money.
The motion of the defendant S coun-
sci to discharge Mrs. Osbar was over
ruled by Judge Gest. The first wit
ness for the defense was Miss Sadie
Ransom, stenographer in Haas & Blu
ford's office, whose notes taken at the
preliminary hearing of the arson case
were produced to prove that William
Alday had told different story then
than at the present trial, but it was
found that they did not vary to any
material extent.
Mrs. Osbar was next put on the
stand. She denied having any con-
nection with a scheme to burn the
house; in fact the origin of the fire
was a mystery to her. Mrs. Osbar
wept as she related how her sons had
tried to eXtort money from her and
threatened the arson proceedings il
she would not accede to their de.
mands.
Mrs. Osbar finished her testimony
at 1880 this morning, when Joseph
Kipp, the other defendant, took the
stand. Like Mrs. Osbar, he denied
everything. He said he was at home
the night of the fire, and did not know
it occurred until the next day. He
said William Alday lied when he ties

had set fire to the house.

The Rock Island Plow company has

Pleted. will give to the city one of the
most extensive and largest factory
buildings in the country. The addi-

stone trimmings, and it is the design
to splice it between the company s

portion of the dead end of Sixth street

He CAPTURED General Merritt.

There is an old Confederate officer
in Knoxville who had the honor during
the civil war of capturing Wesley H.
Merritt, now general commanding the
department. of the east. Colonel James
G. Malone, a prominent cavalryman,
was the captor Of General Merritt. 1t
was during the campaign in West Vir-
ginia in 1862 and in the neighborhood
of Cheek mountain that the incident
occurred. General Rust had been order.
ed to attack strong force of Federals
on the mountain and the First Tennes-
see regiment of Maney's brigade, Lor-
ms division, was waiting orders to ad-
vance. Colonel Malone was at that time
lieutenant of the Rock City guards, a
company which had gone out from Nash
vile. While drawn up the company
suddenly saw not 100 yards in front of
them Federal engineering officer ride
up alone. His capture was easily effect
ed, as he was completely surprised, not
having any idea that the Confederates
were near. He was very much disoom-
flied at his mishap and grumbled excess
lively at his bad luck. He was sent to
Richmond with other prisoners, and
Colonel Malone did not know his subse-
quent war career. Atlanta Journal.
