fourth piece shows no such figures, but is
a very pretty piece of stone.
All these specimens are from a quarry

miles from Frederick City. Mr.. stiner,
with others, is interested in the quarry
and expects to use the stone there, Of

his home are from the top of the quarry.
and he has not as yet mined down far

Sensational Phase in the Trial OF
Gen. Marsh-Missing Witness
Heard From.

Lansing, March S.-The trial of
Gen. Marsh was brought to an abrupt
end Wednesday by the final with
drawal of his attorneys because of the
courts denial. of their motion for a
continuance until May. Judge West
was indignant at the attorneys
action and read them a scathing lee
ture in open court. He assured Marsh
that if he was convinced he was in
any way party he would require him
to 60 TO trial at once. 1t, however, be-
ing his duty to protect Marsh as well
as the people, he decided to grant a
postponement until March 20, so that
the defendant might procure new
counsel Believing that the conduct
of the attorneys was reprehensble,
and that they should be punished,
the court appointed committee OF
prominent state attorneys to present
the matter to the supreme court. re-
marking that if trials can be stopped
by such summary conduct it was time
the courts knew il officially.
Lansing. March 10.-Capt. w. ID. Me-
Donald. the witness for the defense,
whose disappearance led to sensation-
al proceedings in the case of Gen.
Marsh. returned to Michigan Friday,
having learned from the newspapers
that he was wanted. The committee

withdrawal from the case was merely

PROVES HIS LOVE.
Gives Former Sweetheart
Valuable Property.

Detroit. March l0.-Mrs. Margaret
Schriver Simpson, of 1913 Humboldt
avenue, this city, who is heir TO the
bulk of the property, valued at nearly
$l50,000, of Charles l.. Davis. who died
i'm Pittsburgh, is the wife of Edward
+. Simpson. manager of the local Office
of Philadelphia publishing company.
The fortunate legatee was i'm no way
related to Mr.. Davis and had not seen
him since she left the alvin Joslin"
company in 1895.
The will of Mr.. Davis contains all
the elements of "a romance. He had no
relatives living, so far as known. He
had been married, his first wife being
known to the stage as Emma Verne
She died more than 20 years ago i'm
Denver. The acquaintance of Mr.. Da-
Wis and Margaret Schriver was formed
about 16 years ago. Miss Schriver's fa-
ther was president of the Allegheny
Gas company. He became acquainted
with Davis at Masonic meeting and
invited him to his home. Some time
after the first visit of Mr. Davis to the
young girl should be sent to a musical
institution. Her musical education ex-
tended over a term of several years.
and then she was sent to Europe, where
she studied under the best masters
After her return, Miss Schriver became
a member of the "Alvin Joslin" com
pany On the road she was paid every
possible attention by Mr.. Davis. She
stopped at the best hotels, Mr.. Davis
saw that she was provided with car
riage to and from the theater, she had
flowers daily, and all these things the
young woman thought were given by
Mr.. Davis, because he was friend of
her father.
When the company was in Chicago
Miss Schriver was quartered at the
Virginia hotel. There Mr.. Davis called
on her and made proposal of mar
riage. She made no reply. Mr.. Davis
went away thinking that she was mere
ly taking time TO consider and in the
end she would consent. His attentions
then became more marked. He began
TO make Miss Schriver gifts of great
value. The young actress was much
worried over his attentions. The com
pany left Chicago, and soon after Mr..
Davis said he was ready to be married
There was only one thing to do Miss
Schriver left the company at once and
returned home. 4 month later she
was married TO Mr.. Simpson. Since
that time she has never seen Mr.. Davis
That his regard for her was sincere is
proved by his will, which was made in
1896, year after Miss Schriver was
married.
