Mr.. WALT0N'S STATEMENT
Says There Was no Cause for the Ver-
dict in His Daughter,s Death.

A. J. Walton, father of Addis Walton,
who died suddenly last week, desires to
state after carefully looking into his
daughters death and interviewing the
doctors who attended her during her brief
illness, that there was no cause whatever
for the verdict rendered by the coroner 5
jury, as his daughter had at no time
reason for committing such an act, her
homo life being particularly happy and
bright, never causing her parents min
ute's worry, and further states that a
great wrong was done TO his wife by the
jury IN not summoning her as a witness
before the coroner, as she was conversant
with her daughters ailment and could
clearly demonstrate that her death vas
due to hereditary diseases aggravated by
a fall. The physicians who were in at
tendance, and were interviewed by Mr..
Walton, admitted their surprise at the YER
Dict the coroner's jury rendered.

There was filed in the district court of

A Clevenger, for abandonment, stating
that her husband had been absent from
her for period OF five years, and praying

The following, taken from the Decatur
Republican Of Decatur, H., may have
some connection with the wherea bouts Of

ing for so long a time:
THE Clevenger case went to the jury
Monday night, January s. 1899. and YER
dict was returned the next morning at
$3.50 O'Clock. When the court convened and
the prisoner was brought in, there was a
serious expression on the face of every
one OF the jurymen. r. c. Ringland was
the foreman and he handed the verdict TO
the baiin. When Judge Vail had finished
other business he said: Now let US see
what the jury has to say He opened the
verdict and read it to himself and then
aloud 1t was as follows:
We, the jury, find the defendant
guilty Of murder as charged in the indict-
ment and fix his punishment at confine-
ment in the penitentiary for thirty years
SO say all OF you, gentlemen inquir-
ed Judge Vail. The jurors answered in
the affirmative, and they were then ex-
cused. together with the rest Of the panel
Attorney Borche-s was seated near
Clevenger at the table. He turned his
head and said TO the prisoner: That's
tough
'CIevenger smiled slightly and said to
the lawyer: Tt viii take me a long time

Then o.-4er business was taken Up and
Clevenger remained seated in the court
room for a few moments and talked with
his attorneys and was then taken back TO
Jail As ne was leaving the court room he
shook hands with a reporter and said
pleasantly: Will be an old man,
