| they were driving to the river Mary
Marks stated that she would get the
/ baby for him. but she wished il was
dead. This left the awful inference that
she had wrapped the babe in its little
shawl and buried it alive in the wet sand
Of the Arkansas river.
The most important witnesses were
John S. Siaymaker and his wife. It has
been claimed recently that Mary Marks
would clear her mother of any part IN
this crime. but Mr.. and Hrs. Slaymaker
show that Mrs. Marks was near by when
the babe was put into the river. They
live west Of Main street and close to Lin
coin. Mr.. and Mrs. slaymal1er both told
the same story to the effect that on the
18th day Of May they saw Katie and
Mary Marks come by their house and go
toward the river Mrs. Marks was car
rying the babe and Mary had a bundle
under her cape. They noticed the cape
because it was warm and they wondered
why she wore it and walked so fast.
Mary had q bundle and the old woman
carried another bundle that appeared like
a FELLOWSHIP. The Slaymaker residence
was about forty rods from the Big river
and when they had gotten more than half
way from the Slaynaker residence TO the
river they saw the women change bundles
and Mary went on toward the river and
her mother came back and sat down on
the porch at Slaymaker's. She told Mrs.
Slaymaker that they lived about seven
teen miles from this city.
When Mr.. Slaymaker was put on the
witness stand, he told in substance the
above story. "On the 18th day of Nav"
he said, 7 was at home on West Lin
coin street. I was at home on the after
noon Of that day. saw these two vo-
men going toward the river. NY house IS
about thirty rods from the river bank.
They were walking fast ana seemed 10
be carrying several bundles I think the
old lady was carrying a child and a bun
ole that looked ike a pnlowcase. The
young woman seemed TO have a bundle
under her cape. I saw them change bun
dies. one from the other, and then the
older Of the two women came back and
the other went on howard the river. The
old woman came back to my house and
stayed there ten OF fifteen minutes. Mary
came back from the river and they came
on toward the city. These two women
here are the same ones 1 saw that day"
When the county attorney said that was
his case the defense said that they would
not offer any evidence. The attorneys
made long argument 70 the purpose OF
having their clients admitted 70 bail. but
Judge Harvey claimed that he had no
right under the evidence 10 admit them
TO bail. lie was sitting as a Justice OF the
peace and he did not believe that a Jus
uce could fix BAN IN such cases. Mr.
Comfy claimed that he could not T--o

HARD WHEAT FLOUR
aIr. J. r. Howard Returns From a
Meeting TO Kansas City.


J. z. Howard returned yesterday from
the meeting Of millers at Kansas city.
The meeting was called for the purpose
Of forming some kind Of an organization
which would promote the sale of Kansas
hard wheat -four. Mr. Howard has been
the prime mover in this matter and it is
now believed much good will come of the
movement When asked what the meet
ing did. Mr.. Howard said:
We organized a corporation for the
purpose Of establishing standard grades
OF Kansas hard wheat flour. The eorpor-
alton VIII act as the agent or broker Of
such mills as may contract with it for
the purpose OF marketing standard grades
of -four in all large cities in this country
and important foreign markets such as
London, Antwerp, Belfast, etc.
The corporate powers that viii be
granted viii allow Unis company to en-
gage in side lines to some extent. but all
tending 70 the one main object. viz. the
establishing of standard grades Of -four
and marketing the same as the broker or
agent of the mill"
VINO formed this association"
The main movers in organizing the
corporation were men engaged in the
milling business. Just as grain dealers
and others who are interested procure
proper legislation TO bring about grain
inspection so that wheat and corn is sold
in the markets of the world on Official
inspection, enabling the business to be
done in an intelligent and satisfactory
manner. The headquarters o. the com
pany VIII be in Kansas City. No. Branch
