Marscilles, November 90 dispatch
says: Paul Kruger, former president
OF the Transvaal republic, landed here
at i0;45 this morning.
Replying TO the addresses Of welcome
Of the presidents of the Paris and Mar
seilles committees, Mr.. Kruger, after
thanking the committees for the
warmth OF the reception accorded him,
and expressing gratitude for the sym
pathy he had received from the French
government, spoke Of the war as ter
rible and barbarously conducted by
the British. He sad:
II have fought with savages, but
the present war is still worse. We
will never surrender. We are deter.
mined to fight to the last extremity,
and IL the republics of the T~ransvaal
and the Orange Free State lose their
independence, IL will be because they
have lost every man, woman and
child"
This declaration dispelled Mt once
any impression that Mr.. Kruger in
tends to accept n compromise from the
british government. His announce
ment was greeted with "A roar of cheers
Ind cries of "Vive Kruger" ''Vive les
Roers, "''Vivc In Liberte."
Today proved a triumph for Mr..
Kruger such us even the Boer dele
gates and his most ardent admirers
JAILED to anticipate. Tha delirium Of
enthusiasm which marked every step
pf his progress from the time he land
ed until the hotel was reached was a
revelation even TO the people Of the

It did not surpass, the frantic demon

ties Of the mill with only the assist
ance Of a half-grown boy. There is a
thrilling story in connection with this
woman's life.
In 1886 Winifred Holloway was a
girl living with her parents near Fred
erickstown. Her father was a miller,
and . highly respected a VIM.
fred being an unusually pretty girl. in
dustrious, modest and amiable. natur-
ally had many suitors for her hand.
Among them was m Stephen Letton.
q prosperous young farmer of the
neighborhood. This man was con-
coded to be Winifred's accepted lover.
The Holloway residence was situated
near the public highway. and travellers
we're frequently entertained there
During the summer of 1888 a stranger
giving his name as Thomas Bailey,
stayed q few weeks with the Hollo-
ways. He stated that he was from
Boyle county. and vas in quest Of
mules, which he "a buying for the
Southern market. He was a hand
some man. and, to all appearances, a
gentleman OF high standing.
An attachment sprang up between

Story of o Woman Hermit

Winifrod and the stranger, which re-
suited in marriage In the spring of
1897, not before Mr.. Holloway had,
however. satisfied himself that Bailey
was all that he represented himself to
be. After the wedding Bailey took UP
his residence with his fa~ther-in-law,
and, strange as 1t may seem, a strong
intimacy was formed between him and
young Letton, Winifred's rejected
lover. II Letton felt any resent
ment at his treatment from the young
lady, he gave no evidence of 1t, but
continued on the most friendly terms
with the entire family. In the autumn
following Winifred's marriage Letton
sold his property and announced his
intention of emigrating to what is now
West Virginia, alleging he had pur-

chased an interest in a coal mine
there. About this time Bailey decided
to return to Boyle county to settle up
some unfinished business, and then to
journey to Eastern Kentucky in search
Of mules.
AS Lotions route led him also in
that direction, the two men decided to
travel together. After tarrying near
Danville a few days the two friends
continued their journey. On arriving
in Boyd county they repaired to the
home Of a wealthy drover with whom
Bailey had frequently transacted bust
ness. Here the tdavelers separated.
Before Letton took his leave Of Bailey,
however, he borrowed a sum of money
which he promised to pay on reaching
his destination, claiming that his
money had all been invested there.
The night following Bailey's depar-
ture from the drover's house 1t was
entered by IN assassin, who killed the
inmates and secured a package con-
tanning 1880 in bank notes. In order
to conceal his crime the criminal set
fire to the house before leaving. The
building burned slowly and the neigh
bors were enabled to %extinguish the
flames and discover the murderous
work which had been done. The assas-
sin, before leaving the yard. had torn
open the wrapper Of the package and
thrown 1t to the ground. This was
picked up by the officers of the law,
and was the only clew in their posses
sion.
Shortly after Bailey's return to
Springfield he received the money
which Letton owed him. Detectives
suspected Bailey OF numbering the
drover, because he vas known to have
been intimate with him and had STOP
ped at his home shortly before the
commission Of the crime. Consequent
ly an experienced officer was put or
the suspected mans track and he was
kept under constant surveillance fol
several months.
In the meantime Mrs, Bailey's health
began to fail, and her husband decided
to take her on a Southern trip. De
tectives followed him. Wherever Bal
ley paid his hoted bill or offered money
for any purpose the officer secured TIT
bank note which had been in h for
mer's possession. Finally the shadow
ed man paid out a $40 bill which had
red mark in n corner. The detective
Immediately arrested him.
At the trial the torn wrapper, will
its smear Of blood, was identified a

The bank note which had been trace
to Bailey was also shown. The stall
