LINE OF DEFENSE.
Will Try to Clear Mills BY Accusing
O'Melveney.

It was announced yesterday that
Mills defense will be that O'Melveney
was criminally intimate with Mrs. Mills.
What there is to substantiate this can
hardly be told at this time. First, there
was the dinner at OMelVeney'S resi-
oence, 6lS First street, at which time
the defense may say Mills accused
O'Melveney of intimacy WITH Mrs. Mills,
but this statement is denied absolutely
by these who know what occurred. An
effort 30 interview Mrs. O'BIelveney
on the subject failed. Her friends would
neither allow a reporter TO see her or
convey any query, because. as they said
the tragedy has completely Frustrated
the murdered mans wife. 1t is the i'm
preston that Mrs. Mills and her hus-
bard had agreed to separate. in fact.
a letter found on his person indicated
this To be true. Ii designated that the
children were to be placed in the Sa-
cred Heart academy. where they now
ara. Nevertheless, letters written by
Ai>s. Mills TO her husband less than
week ago, sent TO him in this city from
st. Marks hospital contain terms of
enaeaPnent. Friends of the dead man
are emphatic in saying he was devoted
TO his wife and family. Others declare
that Mills had known of his wife's es-
oapades for months. 1t is also .to be

on the first steamer after hearing of
her husbands condition. What she did
there, in addition to nursing her hus-
band, has u bearing on the case.
Was, then. the accusation made at
the dinner table? There is no proof
that it was. There is evidence that it
was not. II not what. if anything. oe-
CURED TO prompt Mills to his deed?
The two men were friendly in the fore
noon and, according to Treasurer Van
huren, were the same when Mills en-
tered O'Melveney's Office The latter
circumstance would go to show that
no accusation was made else O'Mel-
Veney would not have treated Mills
with such courtesy as he die, when he
said: Take a seat. Fred"
This remark would also seem to in
dicate that the men had no trouble af-
ter lsasSng O'Melveney's house. and
would point to the one theory remain
ing, namely, that Mills was temporar-
lily insane.

BRooDs OVER KILLING.
Mills Demeanor Creates Comment at
Jail.

Mills was very polite in his refusal
to talk at the county jail last night, as
on the day previous. He was reclin-
ing on his bunk in his shirt sleeves, his
face haggard and pale, and his express
sion downcast. Those who have been
with him since the killing predict that
at the present rate the man will brood
himself into the insane asylum before
many weeks. There is no denying that
his demeanor, constant pacing of
the floor, and his general appearance
substantiate such conclusion. He is
losing the composure he at first pos

MRS. MILLS EsCAPADEs.
Threatened to Apply For Divorce
Over a Year AGO.

Mrs. Mills. the wife of O'Melveney's
slayer who was thrust into the case
yesterday by the defense, remains un-
der the protecting wing of Rev. d.
Douglass Wallace at St Marks hos
pital. While Mr.. Wallace's surveillance
continues, Mrs. Mills is perfectly safe.
Mr.. Wallace has determined that moth
ing shall occur to disturb his prisoner
or make her afraid.
Mrs. Mills is quartered most comfort
ably, and has quite recovered her usual
spirits. But she is not lat home" to
visitors, Mr.. Wallace's invariable reply
TO callers being that that his charge is
"nominally under arrest" and cannot
receive. Mr.. Wallace's denial includes
representatives of the press, to whom
he presents his regrets that he cannot
allow Mrs. Mills to be seen, and states
in this connection that he does not in
tend that anything in regard to the
case shall reach the public from his in
stitution
Asked as to whether he was acting
on behalf of Mrs. Mills, or for the pur-
pose of keeping the hospital reputation
unspotted, he declined to answer.
Her Irregular Admissions.
1t is understood that Mrs. Mills adj
mission to the hospital training school
was irregular 1nere is a rule prohfb-
lting the entrance of married women
whose husbands are alive and able to
support them. 1t is said that she Sc
cured her admission through influential
church friends without her name hav-
ing been presented to the board. Peo-
pie who are acquainted with the diff
ficulties of the Mills family say Mrs.
Mills secured her admission to the hos
pital in this way because if her appli-
cation had received consideration it
would not have been accepted. These
same people laugh at the idea that the
story of his wife's escapades is a new
one to Mr.. Mills. and say that because
of things he had discovered a separa-
ton was decided upon before he went
to Honolulu.
