wa< allowed to telegraph to BoS-
ton for my own lawyer, who arrived
speedily and, after an interview with
me proceeded to put my case to the
authorities He gave them a plain
statement of facts
Soon after I had been practically
trapped into marriage with this ad-
venturess. who, when knew her.
called herself Margaret CoIver, I dis
covered that she had a husband living
in South America young man who
had committed some offense which
made IL impossible for him to return
to this country This made her course
with regard TO me easy She knew
that under no circumstances would her
husband allow himself to be drawn
into any proceedings taken against her
for bigamy. I thought of commencing
proceedings for nulIity of marriage,
but there was the difficulty of getting
the absent husbands evidence, and
any amount of expense in the way I
determined to let the matter wait, and
contented myself for the time being
with requesting her to quit my roof
and drop my name
She went, declaring that she would
be even with me, and I saw no more
Of her Free, and having desire to
marry again, hesitated to go through
the unpleasantness of a public trial,
and I let the fact that I had married
a bigamous adventurous practically ef-
1a1S LLSeII from memory
The three weeks which interviewed
before Margaret Co1ver-she called
herself Margaret Tyrre1 in her deposi-
tIons-was able to appear against me,
had not been wasted by my lawyer, but
he had failed to find any trace of the
woman having been at any hotel in
Fall River with the man who was. as
she knew, the real criminal
Margaret Colver swore that I had
met her that night she was on her
way to the steamer, and that after a
fierce quarrel between US, in which she
had demanded money because 1 had
stopped her allowance, had stabbed
her.
All my deniaIs, all my counter
charges against her, were in vain The
court regarded my case, I could see,
| as fully proved. But suddenly an Of
hcer came into court and spoke to the
| presiding judge.
The next moment witness, at the
| judges instance, stepped forward and
in answer to interrogations said that
he was the proprietor of a hotel at
| New Bedford. He had read the case in
| the papers. He had since recognized
/ the woman. She had left his hotel on
| the day preceding the crime with her
1 husband, a Mr. Co1ver. They had been
| living together there for the past
month. They had seemed always tic
| be quarreIing. They had taken the
! train for Fall River together. The
I man at the time had with him a Mexi-
can dagger The landlord had seen il
| in lis possession The doctor had de
| cIare5 the woman had received dag
| ger wound.
/ This evidence and the eloquent pIes
| Of my lawyer resulted in a verdict O
mot guilty" I was released at once
therefore, and have since been in un
disturbed liberty, but the memory o
the affair is terrible nightmare Il

living soul on board is ordered to
black up OF the same dingy color

light color afforded by one human face
might spoil the whole plan of a des-
perate attack. All the officers of tor

part of their kit, a special pigment, of
very much the same kind that used
by stage darkies, ever ready for emer-
gencies, and one torpedo order book
has special recommendations as to
backing up for the men. Then, again
all steam launch and boats crews or
dered off on mining, accommodating

blacken all parts of their skins that
may show; and no man is exempt
however high his degree in the serv-
ice Military officers defending har-

shore are also ordered on no account
to show themselves at night near the
defenses unless blackened up.

OkIahomansA fter 4 Man of That Kind
for President.

Guthrie, O. T., Dec. 1.-THE general i'm
preston to be derived from such feeling
of the Republican pulse of the territory
as is at present practicable is that there
viii be no attempt on the part CT the
Republicans in the council to make
campaign for the presidency of that body.
There is no Republican seeking the place.
On the majority side there are the five
candidates announced witfan few weeks
after election, Freeman e. Miller Of Still
water, J. T. Todd of Chandler, G. w.
BeIamy Of FL Reno, Sidney Clarke Of
Oklahoma City and ]. B. Harrison of
Cheyenne. The feeling seems to prevail
among the candidates that the presiden-
cy should go to some senator whose
Democracy is well established. The Re
publican members, It is expected viii di-
vide their votes among the candidates on
the majority side, according to personal
preference. Miller seems the most ag-
gresslve and though he viii say little
when approached on the subject OF his
candidacy he smiles a smile which seems
full of confidence. Clarke and BeIlamy
win urge claims as old members, of leg
islative experience and parliamentary
skill Harrison will probably reason that
he, as a Simon Pure Democrat, is entitled
to all the recognition his party can give
him. Woolsey is a hail fellow and is ex-
pected to assume rather an air of readi-
ness to run off with the prize in case
none Of the other fellows develops the
requisite strength.
