A TANGLED
RELATIONSHIP
That Will Be Caused By a New
Jersey Wedding.
THE SINGULAR SITUATION
Which Will BE Caused BY the Marriage of
a Man to His Adopted Mother-wiII BE
Brother to His Own Children and
His Own Grandfather.

New York, Nov. 17.-Rev. Frederick
G. Mooney, pastor of the First M e.
church, of Railway, n. j., took a step
yesterday that threatens to tangle up
the vital statistics bureau Of that town.
He was married to his adopted mother,
she being so years old and he "a. After
their honeymoon they will return to
Railway.
IS A MINISTER.
The minister, when years of age,
was adopted by Hugh Mooney, lum-
ber dealer of Hoboken. He wanted to
be minister, and they took him to
Hackettstown, N. j., and placed him
in the Drew Theological seminary.
Prof. Whitney was head of the school,
and his wife was head of the female
seminary in the same town. They
liked young Mooney, and with the con-
sent of the Hoboken Moneys adopted
him.
Frederick Mooney-he retained the
name of his Hoboken foster parents
graduated and became a minister. Six
years ago Prof. Whitney died, leav-
ing a tall, gray-haired, well-preserved
widow. She kept track of her adopted
son, and when he was given charge of
year ago, was one of the first to visit
and congratulate him, and she it was
the foster son married today.
SINGULAR SITUATION.
The people of Railway don't know
just what to think of the step the young
minister took. If children bless the
union Mrs. Mooney will enjoy the dis
tinction of being both grandmother
and mother of her own offspring. The
father Of the children being the son
of their mother, must, necessarily, be
their brother. and this would put the
children of the minister under the pain
full necessity of choosing whether to call
him papa" of Brother Fred" Be-
ing the husband of the grandmother of
his own children, he would, preforce,
be their grandfather, and this triple
relationship would lead to other COM
plications which Railway is too weary
to figure out. Being the brother of
his own children, for instance, and the
husband of his grandmother he must
be his own grandfather.

There was considerable discussion all
day Friday and Saturday among some
of the local lawyers concerning the
action of Judge McCarty Friday morn
ing in assigning counsel for William
Henderson in the trial about to be COM
menced to decide whether he shall live
or die. There was not little feeling
manifested in the matter in some
quarters.
When Henderson stood up before the
court the judge spoke to him and said
he had understood that he had been
confined in the penitentiary and had
no chance to consult counsel. Mr.. Hen
derson nodded his head and said that
was correct.
II will appoint as your counsel Judge
George e. Baldwin and ]. j. Grant"
said the court.
There is no going back of the deci-
sion of the court on such matters and
Judge Baldwin and Mr.. Grant will de-
fend Henderson. That he will be ably
defended is certain. The court in such
cases does not stop to ask attorneys
WHSlHST JuSy WILL serve. IL ~ uldu-
datory with the court and attorneys
are not necessarily consulted at all in
the matter. If they are appointed, they
must serve, unless released by the
court.
But there are some other attorneys
who are not pleased with the appoint
ments made yesterday. James A. Rice
is one Of them and John w. Craine Is
another. Both gentlemen say that they
had been retained by Henderson for
this case and have been working on it
ever since Henderson found he was in
dicted. They further claim that the
court had notice Of this fact.
WHAT MR.. RICE SAYS.
Mr.. Rice Saturday morning said:
Shortly after Henderson was indicted
l got letter from him in which he ask
ed me to take charge of the case. He
also wrote to his wife and she came to

TROUBLING OTHER
PEOPLE NOW.
The Fight For District Attor-
neyship In Other Counties.
CANDIDATES JOLLY HANNA
Neither Knew the other Was In Town
Until They Met at the Union Depot
to Take the Train Bome-A
Political Comedy.

While the fight for the district at
torneyship of Northern Ohio seems to
be settled so far as the candidates from
Stark county are concerned, the ques-
tion as to who will get the plum is
troubling the candidates in other coun-
ties. The Youngstown Vindicator gives
the following account of one act in the
drama:
There was an interesting bit of po-
litical comedy enacted in the Erie sta
tion at Cleveland Monday evening
which was witnessed and enjoyed i'm
mensely by several Youngstowners,
who, by merest chance, happened to be
present. Chairman M. "A. Norris, of the
state Republican commitIee, and ex-
Senator John J. Sullivan, of Trum-
bull, were cast in the leading roles
and put on performances of such char
acter that entities them to rank with
such stars as Nat Goodwin, Roland
Reed, etc.
The performance was purely i'm
promptu and came about in this wise
Both Mr.. Norris and Mr.. Sullivan, as is
well known, are candidates for the
district attorneyship of the northern
district of Ohio. Neither candidate is
allowing any timothy to grow under
his feet and both are bringing to bear
on the powers that be all the influence
they can muster.
Monday morning Mr.. Norris, accom-
panied by John H. Fitch, Caleb B..
Wick, Thomas Davey and several other
lesser Republican lights, went to Cleve-
land to Jolly Senator M. A. Hanna.
They spent most of the day waiting for,
or with, the main artery of the &. o. D.,
then went to the depot to catch train
for home. Here they met j. ]. Sullivan,
Mr.. Norris's opponent for the attorney
ship plum, which, 1t is said, Is likely to
fall almost any day.
Neither party knew of the others
presence in Cleveland. Although each
had visited the same office, "jollied" the
same power with the same object in
view they had been kept apart, which
fact is regarded as tribute to the cum
ming Of the Hon. Marcus. When the
rivals met they glared at each other
like a couple of game cocks, just for
minute, then exchanged cordial-they
appeared cordial, at least-greetings
Mr.. Norris said 1t was a nice day and
Mr.. Sullivan agreed with him. A few
commonplace remarks were exchanged
and then the two rivals entered into
discussion of the architecture of the
depot.
At this time half dozen Youngs-
towners stood by and enjoyed the per-
formance. One after another they were
approached first by Norris delegate
and then by a Sullivan supporter with
questions like these: Whats Sullivan
doing here? Did you see him at head
quarters? Wonder if he has been here
all day?" Then Sullivanite would ap-
proach with similar questions regard
ing Mr.. Norris. Things were just near
ing an interesting climax when the
train for Youngstown and Warren was
announced and the rivals with their
followers were noticed to carefully
avoid entering the same coach.

ecutor and the court that was in the
case.. I told the court that I did not
care to try it alone but would like
some good associate counsel. The Hem
dersons then chose Mr.. Craine and to-
gether we have been working up the
| case. We have secured some valuable
material and had the matter well In
hand"
SAY 1T HAS NO PRECEDENT.
Both Mr.. Rice and Mr.. Craine de-
clared that the matter Of disregarding
the wishes of the accused in the ap-
pointment Of counsel in a murder case
was unprecedented in Stark county. In
minor cases the court never pays any
attention to such things as the accused
wishes, when he is not able to pay for
his own lawyers but it is said in murder
cases such wishes were always deferred
to. The subject was freely discussed
by members of the bar after they had
learned what Mr.. Rice and Mr.. Craine
candidate who expected to get the case,
congratulated Baldwin and Grant upon
being chosen, but there was some diff
ference of opinion as to whether the
court should have done it.
Judge McCarty, after the appoint
ment Friday, said he had tried to give
Henderson as good counsel as could be
selected. The matter of life or death
was too serious to be trifled with and
man charged with murder was en-
titled to the best possible defense.
Messrs. Rice and Grain admit the
ability of the attorneys selected and
neither they nor their personal advo-
Gates find any objection to the ap-
pointees on the ground of fitness, but
they declare that on general principles
Henderson's wishes should have been
ascertained and regarded in such mat
ters.
