AN HONEST PRISONER.
Judge Baker Shows Leniency to John
vi. Davis.

Several months ago John M. Davis post
master at Toledo a small town in the north
ern part of the State was arrested on the
charge of violating the postal laws. Davis
was tried by Judge Baker during a session
Of the Federal Court at Fort Wayne and
was fined 500. At the time he was suffering
from stroke of paralysis, and as his Of
Tense was not a serious one, he was per-
mitted to go home and the court told him
he could have a reasonable length of time
in which to pay the fine. The money has
never been paid. Yesterday, however Davis
journeyed to Indianapolis and presented
himself before Judge Baker. He said to the
court that he was doubtful of ever being
able to pay the fine, and was ready to go to
jail
but, your Honor" he added, you'll
have to send some one with me to the jail,
for 1 don't believe / know where it is"
Judge Baker remarked that a man so hon
est as this one ought not to be punished Sc
verely. The court then had a talk with
Davis and told him to go home and pay the
fine when he could. Davis went away very
thankful for the leniency shown him.

At Mr.. FRENZEL'S HOUSE
CONFERENCE THERE YESTERDAY
PRESUMABLY on sTREET-CAR DEAL.
Citizens Company Decides to Ask for
Rehearing in the SUI
Dreme Court.

People living on North East street. in the
vicinity of the residence of John p. Frenzel.
one of those heavily interested in the City
street-railway Company, yesterday after
noon noticed that something unusual was
occurring there. Men of considerable dis
tinction in bearing were observed going in
and out of the house, and it was at once
surmised that something was up in street
car affairs. Last night a reporter who
called was informed that Mr. Frenzel was
not at home. although it was almost II
O'Clock. 1t is supposed a conference in the
street-car deal was held at Mr.. Frenzers
home.
William Jay Turner, of the Citizens
Street-railroad Company, reached the Grand
Hotel this morning at o'clock after es-
corting a theater party with which he had
spent the evening home.
Have there been any developments in the
street car situation to-day?" he was asked.
None so far as I know. l spent most Of
the day in the office of Mr. Winter discuss
ing the advsability of applying for a re-
hearing of the decision recently rendered by
the Supreme Court. AS a result of the con-
ference we have decided to pursue that
course
VIII you cooperate with the city!
"As the interests of the company and the
city are the same in many respects, we
shall be glad to cooperate"
MIR. Turner was told of occurrences at the
Frenzel residence and was asked if he was
at the conference there.
Where is Mr.. Frenzel's residence?" he
asked.
When informed he replied that he had not
been at Mr. Frenzels residence, and as
serted that he had not attended any confer
ence with representatives of the City Com
pany.
Last evening Mr.. Taggart was at the
Grand Hotel. He said that he knew moth
ing new in street-car affairs.
Have you seen Mr.. Turner?" he was
asked.
Il met him just for moment, barely long
enough to say, how do you do" replied the
mayor. II talked to him less than 1 have to
you
Before the mayor left the hotel John R.
Wilson came down and had few minutes
conversation with him. When asked what he
knew about street-car affairs, Mr.. Wilson
responded: Nothing at all The attorney
apparently pays but little attention to the
Street-car situation.

RUSIE'S DOMESTIC AFFAIRS.
Complaint Made by the Famous Ball
TWirler's Wife.

Amos w. Rusie, the star pitcher for the
New York ball club, is the defendant in
suit for divorce brought in the Superior
Court yesterday by Susie May Rusie. The
ball player and his wife have been living on
Wocott street, in this city. Some serious
allegations are made in the complaint and
indicate that Mrs. Rusie's matrimonial ex-
perience has not been entirely pleasant. She
AYERS that she was married to Rusie on
Nov. s, 1890, and lived with him until Dec.
q last The wife charges her husband with
cruel and inhuman treatment, which she
says began in the winter of 1892.
1t is charged that Rusie has been guilty
of great personal violence in his conduct
toward his wife, and she claims he has
tried to take her life keeping her in state
of terror. She once had to leave her home
and secrete herself for a time, she AYERS, in
order to escape his violence, believing he
had firearms on his person" She says he
has struck her in the face without provoca-
ton and has come home late at night in an
intoxicated condition, compelling her to get
up and prepare food for him. Once, she
says, he threw knife at her across the
table, narrowly missing her face, and once
he threw a fork al her, and she further in
sists it was also his habit when intoxicated
TO dash the dishes on the floor. The plain
tiff further complains that her husband
would not permit her friends to call on her,
and did not allow her to leave home. She
says that, although her husband has been
earning $4,000 year he refused to buy her
suitable clothing and she has been COM
PEELED to receive wearing apparel from her
friends RuSie, it is claimed, has property
valued at $500, and has 81, 400 on deposit in
one Of the city banks. The plaintiff asserts
that Mary f. Rusie is claiming some inter-
est in the defendants property. and she Is
made party to the suit. The plaintiff asks
that she be given judgment for 5000 ALI
mony, in addition TO the decree of divorce.
