FATHER IS ACCUSED
Mary LETTER Claims Her Father
Ruined Her.
THE CASE is a REVOLVING ONE
Evidence Was Heard in Justice Bal.
lard's Court Today--The Accused
Man Lives Near BIakesburg-He
Is Held to the Grand Jury.

William Letter, charged by his
daughter, Mary, with incest, is on trial
today in Justice Billiards. court. The
taking Of testimony began early this
morning, and at late hour this after
noon, it had not been finished. The
case is very revolving in all it's details,
and the testimony is unfit for publica-
ton. Letter is farmer living near
Blakesburg, and is the owner of a farm
of eighty acres. He has wife and
seven children, the eldest of whom is
Mary, the prosecuting witness. 1t de-
veloped at the trial that Letter had
been in the insane asylum, having
been sent there in September 25, 1897,
and was released as cured in July, 1898,
Since that time he has lived on his
farm. The family appears to have
taken sides with both father and
mother. Letter claims the matter is
being done as spite work on the part
of his wife, whom he claims wants to
get rid of him. Mary, the prosecuting
witness, left home the morning after
the last trouble is alleged to have oc-
Cured and has been staying at the
Gilbert chop house ever since. She
claimed she met man on the street
upon her arrival in Ottumwa, after
having walked all the way from the
farm, and this party took her to the
Gilbert chop house where they stayed
every cent she had. Who this man is
has not been learned. The girl is al
legged to be in a delicate condition.
Held to Grand Jury.
Late this afternoon. the evidence i'll
the case was concluded, and shortly
afterwards, Justice Ballard, held LEI
fer to await the action of the grand
jury. His bonds were increased from
$500 to $1,000 and in default of the
same Letter was taken to the county
Jail. Letter was represented by At
torney B. W.Scott, while the state was
represented by County Attorney D. H.
Emery and Geo. F. Heindel.

FIND PETRIFIEp MAN.
T. J. HamersIey the Flnder-It Is a
Monster.

T. ]. Hamersley, boiler maker re.
siding on Summit street, has found a
specimen which resembles that of a
petrified man, and which, may, after
a thoroughtest,prove very valuable. Mr.
Hamersley found the specimen near
Clifliand, and it is supposed to have at
one time been descendant of Chief
Wapello, or some other famous Indian
chief. Part of the specimen has been
taken to Mr.. Hamersley's home and has
been examined by a large number of
people,who come to the conclusion that
it must be petrified man. The thigh
can be easily seen, and is very large
and of a solid mass of stone. A foot
a shoulder blade and an arm, of the
specimen are of exceedingly large size.
The specimen will be examined by a
prominent curio man from Kansas
City, Mo-, when it will be determined
what the value is and of what sub.
stance it consists.
