A WEBSTER VICTIM
Of Some Lying News
paper Space Writer.
DIR. j. s. Goodmanson Mali
ciously and Cruelty Libelled
by a Washington Corr
respondent.

Last week the people of Webster
We're very much surprised and injured
to read a sensational and ibelous arti.
Gle In the eastern press in which DR.. J,
). Goodmanson, of this city, was named
as principal. The article was based
upon the fact that a few years ago DIR.
Goodmanson was so unfortunate as
to lose his first wife and was then per-
secuted by her relatives and had to
stand trial for her murder. Many an
innocent man has been compelled to
stand trial for a crime he never com
mitted, and when a jury acquits, that
Is the very best evidence of innocence.
The remainder of the dispatch was just
a network of ~falsehoods woven around
the n fact in such a manner as to
make a plausible and sensational article.
Among the many false statements was
II that DR.. Goodmanson was lynched
in some remote village of Washington /;
another that he had murdered his Sec
ond wife; another that he had never
lived in Webster, and many others SINH
lar and equally false. DIR. Goodmanson
and his wife have lived in this city for
nearly four years and during that time
have always moved in the best of soci-
ETY. and are and have always been con
sidered among our best people. The
doctor is thought very well of profess
sionally and has a large practice in this
city and at many other points along the
Milwaukee which he visits regularly.
He has eve made any attempt to hide
his whereabouts, on the contrary, he
believes in the benefits to be derived
from advertising, and has been a liberal
patron of newspapers in all the places
where he has done bushes.
The people of this city all feel very
much aggrieved to think that such a
scurrilous article has been published,
and heartily applaud him in his inten-
ton to make somebody suffer for the
attack upon his good anne
DIR. Goodmanson went to the Twin
Cities Wednesday evening to consult
with attorneys as to the legal steps to
begin in the case.

G0ODMANSON ANGRY
Will Bring Action Against
Papers Which Started
Story of Lyuching.

When the Argus-L Leader last week
reproduced a sensational telegram sent
out from Tacoma, Wash, to the effect
that DR.. Sidney j. Goodmanson had
been lynched at some remote point in
that state it also stated that the story
was a hoax as DIR. Goadmanson was
then known to be at Webster within ten
days. DIR. Goodmanson and wife are
both now as Webster where they have
been located for some time and now DIR.
Goodmanson has placed the entire mat
ter in the hands of his attorney George
w. Argo of Sioux City. When the
stories were first published some weeks
ago Mr. Goodmanson laughed over the
matter as a joke but when the papers
in the state of Washington printed the
statement that Goodmanson might have
started the story that he was lynched
that he might conceal his whereabouts,
Goodmanson became provoked and
turned the matter over to his attorney.
Mr., Argo has written for copies of the
papers which originated the story and
will go over the articles carefully and if
libelous action will be commenced
against them. 1t is well known here
that DIR. Goodmanson has never
attempted to cover up his whereabouts.
When located at Salem he did condider-
able advertising under his own name
and has followed the same course at
Webster. Mr.. Argo in speaking to a
Sioux City reporter regarding the trial
of Oh. Goodmanson in Nebraska for the
murder of his first wife said:
"His wife was buried at Princeton,
ILL.,, and after a time the body was
exhumed, the stomach taken out, and
examined by chemists. Strychnine was
onnd. Then Goodmanson was accused
of numbering his wife. She undoubt-
edly committed suicide. and the jury
decided that such was the case, for he
was acquitted.
His wife was of a mody, down
hearted class, and frequently became
discouraged. She was seen to stop ON
the stairs as she went up to her hus-
bands office and put something in her
mouth, When she reached his office,
she asked for a glass of water, and it
was given her. She went into an ante
room. Her husband was working on
the teeth of a deputy sheriff. He did
not know that anything was wrong
with her until she was found TO be
dying. She expired in about twenty
five minutes after coming into the Office.
The doctor vas working at the chair
all the time, except when he gave his
wife the water to drink. He and the
deputy had each taken a drink from
this glass. 1t was altogether
able to suppose that he had put the
strychnine into the glass and that he
poisoned her in that way, for quinine is
sweet compared with strychnine. The
state could not prove that he had given
her poison. We showed how she had
killed herself and her husband was
acquitted. There was this much of a
motive for the prosecution of Goodman
son by her reletives, that he was entitled
to about $500 of her property"

''EsIl Roaring Jaek'' Smith.

Washington, July 2-The verdict
of the courtmsrtial that recently tried
Gen. Jacob 81. Smith, of the Philip
pine arms, is in effect ''not guilty, but
don't do it again" It was learned TO-
day that the court held that General
Smith exceeded his authority in issu-
ing his famous ''kill and burn" and
''howling wilderness" order to Major
Waller. The view of the court, how
ever, was that the generals offense
was pslliated by the practical un-
precedented conditions. But the
court held that he was intemperate
in the language of the order.

After Twenty Years.
An Escaped Negro Murderer Captured
in GEORGETOWN.

in Georgetown.
Governor Aycock of North Caro-
lima, has notified Governor McSwee.
ney that he has issued requisit;op pa
pers for Dan Gould, alias Thomas
Madday. who was captured in George
town recently. Gould is 3 condemn
ed negro murderer and his case is
one of the most remarkable ever re-.
corded.
Gould killed white man with a
fence rail in Anson county over 20
years ago aud was tried in Mont
gomery county and sentenced to be
hanged. Before the day of his execu
tion arrived he broke jail and made
his escape. Since then be has not
been see1 until about ten days ago.
when he was arrested under another
name at Georgetown. He denied his
identity and refused to go to North
Carolina without re QUESTION.
The North Carolina officials inves-
tigated the case most carefully, and
they are of the opinion that the ne.
gro is undoubtedly Gould. who has
so long escaped justice. The record
in Montgomery aud Arson we're
hunted up and formal application
made to Governor Aycock for arequi-
sition. When Gould is taken back
it will be Governor Aycock's duty to
set q date for his execution. He has

further trial can be held.
Not another case in the State of
North Carolina is recalled where q
man has been convicted of murder,
sentenced, then escaped and recaptur-
ed after twenty long years. There is
a case, however, where a murderer
was caught 25 years after his crime,
tried and convicted. Usually though
it is almost impossible to get the wit
nesses after SO long a time.
Gould will undoubtedly employ
counsel and try to get Communication

rect life for the past 20 years.

Church Pews Bring Big Money,

Two pews in the historic st. Johns Protes-
tant Episcopal Church have been sold at auc-
ton, one to Mr.. George f. Huff for 81, $50 and
the other to Mr. Duncan G. Phillips for 81 600.
The bidding was lively from the start. The
prices were considered unusually good for even
holdings in such fashionable church as st.
Johns. 1t is unusual for one of these pews to
be obtained at any price, and it is only in case
of death or of removal from the city that one
of them is offered at auction. The pews were
owned by Mrs. Buckingham and Miss Free
man, who own the property back of st. Johns
Church. They received them as legacy from
their father, with the remainder of his property.
As they do not attend st. Johns Church, but
90 to Epiphany instead, they gave them to the
trustees of the Cathedral, who, wishing to re-
alize on them, sold them at auction, deductiDg
the auctioneers fees, the sum realized being
about "a, 300 which will be utilized in the
building of the new Cathedral. This holding
of pews by different families is a matter of
sentiment and not financial advantage, as
the owner of the pew has his rent to pay just
the same And it is a valuable legacy to baud
down from one generation to another, es-
pecially at st. Johns, where the waiting list
is long and exclusive, and if one wishes to get
the equivalent it would not be difficult.
