she need not go into the room; that all
they needed was towels. She says she

He responded and entered the room.

there. Why. the poor thing could hardly
walk down the stairway when she was
going away. *
One of the men," she continued, told
me the woman was only an acquaintance
of theirs"
1t is not known whether Mrs. Epperson
was returned to the asylum or taken
elsewhere, but it will be ascerttained in
short order.
1t Is suspected that IN order to get the
woman away from the asylum the two
men must have given the keepers of the
institution a story of close relationship
to her; otherwise she would not have
been permitted to leave with them.

We have not heretofore asked that the
slips be introduced as evidence; they
We're called for by the defendant, but
now we do offer it as evidence and ask
the court to rule upon it's relevancy"
The court ruled that the cash slips,
showing receipts for Dec. 7th, Of $26S, and
disbursements of $3.50 We're evidence the
defense excepting.
The cash books introduced in the morn
| ing were again brought forward. and the
prosecution asked that witness Leyson
be allowed to examine the book and iden-
tlfy the entries as compared with the
slips read in court. which slips were
made from the original entries. The de-
Tense offered strenuous objection on the
ground that the books themselves We're
for the court to examine and compare.
Judge Nelson, after listening to some
lively sparring between the attorneys,
ruled that Mr.. Leyson be allowed to ex-
| anime the books, the defense again ex-
cepting.
One discrepancy was found in the en-
tries,a charge of $3.50 appearing on the
slips, While the books showed $500.

Counsel Miller, Mr.. Breen, rose up from

examination proceeded. j. H. Leyson
reading the various items.
A brisk little spat occurred between
Attorney Miller and Judge Lindsay, for
the prosecution. Mr.. Lindsay objected
to the explana tion of the entries by Mr..
Greene, the defendant, who stood beside
Mr. Leyson during the reading of the
items. The defense cheerfully con-
Cured in the wish, when the prosecu-
ton remarked: ~
Il am glad to see you concud for
once"
"The defense had already secured the
consent of Mr.. Breen to the presence of
Mr.. Greene; We had supposed that he
(Breen) had some authority in the case.
Had we thought there was a division in
the prosecution we should have address,
ed both of you for your permission"
At the close of the reading of the
list the defense asked to have stricken
out all the testimony of witness Leyson
as irrelevant. The contention of the de-
Tense was that the prosecution could es-
tablsh its side of the case by more di-
rect methods, they claiming that no mo-
tive was apparent in the reading OF the
list save a wilful personal misrepresen-
tation of their motives. : e !

could be plainly heard saying at in

The detective told the commissioners

and the men refused to open it for even

admittance.
In connection with the affair it has
been further learned that the men are in
no way related to the woman.

The many friends of Hon. H. c.
Lauh made his seventy seventh hirth-I
day a pleasant pretext for a display of
their atfectionate good will for this
pioneer OF Denison. On the invitation
of Mrs. Laub large number of guests
gathered at the beautiful home on

his home only to find it filled to over
flowing with his friends and neighbors.
On behalf of the assembled guests Mr..

An Exclamation.

The ladies of the W. c T. U. wish
Us to correct the impression given by
the last Review that they are anxious
to turn the McKim Hall over to the
city. The property is owned entirely
and without restrictions by the w. c..
t. C. of this city. 1t came to them
not through the Will but through a
settlement with the heirs of the estate.
They desire however to carry out the
intentions of the original donors,
and they feel that they have done
so thus far and have been faithful to
the implied trust reposed in them,
They expect to keep the Hall in their
control but to have it in every way pos.
it a pleasant and attractive place for
for the reading public. whether for the
school library or their own. The w
G.. I. L. has a library of its own which
is now at the disposal of the public. Of
about one thousand volumes. The Re
view did not wish to misinterpret the
desires of the ladies N this particular
and feels that they have done noble
work for Denison. Our only wish il
this connection is that the organization
may live to carry on its noble work il
our city for many years to come.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1901-04-23

The Bulletin says it could have Sc
cured much better proposition for d
library in Denison, If this is true and
not simply buncombe, the Bulletin is
guilty of almost criminal negligence
in not securing it. The Bulletin in
Inmates that it could easily have gone
out and got more than thousand dol
lars and that others would not have
been asked to give so much. In the
name of all that is great, why didn't it
do it,: Why does it not do it now? The
city can stand more Of these liberal
propositions. 1t is mighty cheap to
say you could do much better after
some one else has done the work Ii
the Review knew of any man who
would make "a much better PROPOSE
| ton for Denison, it can assure It's
friends thaJ it would not sit back and
wait and do nothing until someone else
had made a move. 1t would 90 after
that proposition Just as hard as it coulC
and the better the proposition the
harder it would 90 after it. There are
but two horns of the dilemma for the
Bulletin to take; either it is simply
talking through its hat about its "fal
better proposition, or else it has abso
lutely failed in its duty towards 1T
home town, by failing to secure wha
it claims was easily within its reach
Neither of these propositions is yer,
pleasant for the Bulletin, but it ha
clearly made itself liable to be calle'
either vain braggart or nseles
