IN INSURANCE FRAUD FAILS
md Newell c. Rathbmn Will Have to Face the Charge
of Murder.

my name - Newell Q. Rathburn,
and my home is in Little Rock, Ark.
Several months ago I deserted from
the army post at Plattsburg, N. Y,
in company with another recruit, by
the name Of ". H. Ellis. soon lost
sight Of him, and went to Little
Rock. There I was married and
afterward took out the insurance
policies.
81 came to Louisville about ten
days ago. and formed plan to make
the insurance company think / was
dead, so that could collect the in
surance. fell in with q man who
said his name was W. l.. Teneyke in
front Of the Salvation Army Head
quarters in Louisville and told him
of my plan and he agreed to help me.
Our plan was to obtain a corpse from
some place, pat it in hotel in JEFF
ersonville, and then set fire to the
hotel.
while we were in Jacksonville
we took a number of drinks and
Teneyke got drunk. think his death
was caused by drinking. put the
letters addressed to me in his pocket
and left. 1 did not kill him. / then
came to Louisville and went to the
recruiting office and enlisted. My
real home Is in Detroit.
The police are trying to establish
the identity of the dead man. One
of their theories il that he was a
tramp that Rathburn had fallen in
with. The police have telegraphed
to Little Rock authorities to hold the
corpse. A gold watch bearing the
name Nv. H. Ellis" was found on
Rathburn. He refused to say where
he got it, The police say the hand
writing Of Lou Root" the recruit
was very similar to the signature
Nv. L. Teneyke" on the Jefferson
vile hotel register.
Coroner Coots. of Jacksonville,
states that he examined the stomach
of the dead man and found traces Of
enough laudnum to kill two men.

CHARACTER IN EVIDENCE.
Thompson and Wife SwOre Against
Each Other in Court,

The morning session of the Superior
Court yesterday was consumed in the
trial of the case of j. F. Thompson
against Sarah j. Thompson, his wife. The
plaintiff sued for a total divorce on the
ground of desertion continued beyond the
statutory period.
The parties were negroes, but their APP
pearance indicated that they were the
real thing in colored society. With
both reputation seemed to be a matter
of some consequence and on both sides
there were witnesses galore, to uphold or
defame the character of one or the other.
The views of the witnesses and their rec
election of past events differed funda-
mentally and as essentially, as they hap
pened to have been called for plaintiff
or defendant.
Neither party to the suit was very
young. Their alliance was contracted, it
appeared, on May Is, 1880, and they con-
tinued to live together, in more less hap
piness and contentment, until March Is,
1898. Then there was separation, but
whether the plaintiff deserted the defen-
dant or the defendant deserted the plain
tiff there was a complete divergence of
averment and evidence. The plaintiff said
his wife had left him, while she alleged,
in her answer to his petition, that he
had packed his belongings and departed,
leaving her without means of support and
the rent for the house in which they had
been living in arrears.
The plaintiff said that the personal
habits of his wife had been such that he
could not tolerate them For instance, so
he charged, she had d weakness for the
society of disreputable men, which she
seemed greatly to prefer to his own. In
order to crafty her weakness for this
class of society, she would frequently
leave his house and spend the night out
The defendant denied all of these
charges and swore that, on the contrary,
she had always been to her husband a
loyal and faithful wife had given him no
Just cause of complaint and had finally
been deserted and abandoned by him,
without reason or provoca ton.
In support and rebuttal of all these
charges and countercharges there was a
long list of witnesses, and the entire
morning until the 2 o'clock recess was
consumed in their examination and the
arguments of counsel. The jury returned
a verdict for the plaintiff, finding that
sufficient evidence had been submitted for
it's consideration to authorize total di-
vorce between the parties at variance
The plaintiff was represented in the trial
of the case by Mr.. Frank NJ. Oliver and
the defendant by Mr.. David c. Barrow.
