MISS LlNkE INTERVIEWED.
Has Never Accepted Attentions o
Youno Warner.

u
Young Warner.
| Atlantic, March IA representa-
tive of the press called on Miss Haddia
Linke at the home of her parents and
was most cordially received by the
young lady and her mother. both OF
whom We're glad of an opportunity to
let the public know Miss Liakes posi-
ton in connection with the attempt at
suicide by William Warner.
| Miss Linke stated t!ias she had met
Warner some time age in his capacity
as music teacher and had taken a
considerable number OF guitar lessons
from him. He had often invited her to
accompany him to different public
places of amusement. but she had all
ways refused, never once having given
him the least particle OF encouragement
i in his attentions; in fact, she had
warned him that her father objected to
lher keeping company with him and
forbade him to call on her even at her
home.
Miss Linke did not attend the party
Saturday night when Warner at
tempted to take his life and did not
learn of it until the next morning. Since
the affair she has not eft the parental
roof, so worried has she been that some
blame might attach to her over the af-
fair, nor has she been able to eat or
sleep since that time.
Miss Linke is promising young
lady of about II years of age, has been
carefully raised by fond parents, bears
Il spotless reputation and has the re-
spect of ali with whom she is ac-
euainted, and will receive the sympathy
of all In this trying ordeal for which
she is as blameless as an unborn child.

about the same as yesterday.

Decision of the Federal Court
of Great Interest to Frater-
nal Orders
SUSPENSION AND ASSESSMENTS
Tender Of Dues of Member Who Has
Been Suspended, in Violation of By
Laws Of an Organization, Does Not
Validate the Insurance-Judge
Thayer's Decision.

ST. Louis, March 19.--In the United
states circuit court OF appeals an opin-
ion was handed down by Judge
Thayer in the case Of the supreme
council, Royal Arcanum VS.. Anna j.
Taylor, which is remanded with in
structions that the plaintiff is not en-
titled to recover. The decision will be
OF interest to fraternal organizations
and members who are insured against
death in these organizations.
Anna j. Taylor is the widow OF
George F. Taylor, a member of the
Royal Arcanum, Arapahoe Lodge, Den
yer, Col. He was insured for $4,000 in
1895 and died in November 1900. Pay
ment of the insurance certificate was
contested on the ground that he had
not paid the monthly assessment of
October 1900, due on the last day of
that month and was, therefore. sus-
pended according to the bylaws.
The collector failed to pay Taylor's
assessment for October, as he had been
in the habit of doing when overdue and
when it was rendered three days later.
just ueIore IayiorS 8 0eatn, IL was re-
fused, oh the ground that under the
bylaws Taylor was under suspension.
Mrs. Taylor recovered judgement
against the supreme council, which
Judge Thayer, writing the
opinion, says the question at issue is
to determine whether the supreme
council was cognizant OF the practice
of the collector in accepting the assess
ment OF Taylor after he was delin-
quent, and whether it ratified such
practice by accepting delinquent's as
sessment in violation of it's bylaws.
He finds nothing in the evidence to
warrant this assumption and orders the
case remanded with instructions to the
trial court to instruct the jury that the
plaintiff is not entitled to recover.

TRIAL OF JAMES BURNS.

Accused Of Murder Of Jerry corccrsn
at Des Moines.
Des Moines. March 19.-In the trial
Of James Burns for the murder of
Jerry Corcoran. Dr. Hoffman was put
on the stand by the state to testify as
to the contents of the stomach Of Cor
coran, to show that there had been
a murder committed.
He found traces Of morphine in the
stomach.
It was claimed Corcoran was drugged
by Burns and Mr.. and Mrs. Batiesa,
alias Jack Aaron and wife, who robbed
him. and his body was left in the al
ley.
But DR.. Hoffman, on cross -examin-
alton, admitted that he found that Cor
.corans heart was badly diseased and
in such condition that any intense
excitement or exposure might cause in-
stant death, and that his death might
easily have been due to this cause.
This was regarded as an almost fa-
tai admission. and greatly injured the
states case against Burns and his acc
completes.

ture tube in a drug store, with instruc-

health at the state house. The tiny
package was delivered to the driver
and the wagon started away toward
Liberty square.

with the deadly contents of the pack
age. missed 1t, and, realizing he had
dropped 1t out of the wagon, he noti-
fed the physician who had sent the
culture. The latter informed the po-
lice of the loss, and a number of the
officers were sent out In search of the
box. The police fear some child may
pick up the package. and, by innocently
opening 1t. will expose himself to the
disease. Diphtheria germs double their
number every four minutes, and the
opening of the tube would release an
epidemic.
