but It came easy to me. There was
youth near the scene OF the murder
who deemed It his duty to furnish the
country with the facts, and some
friend of mine told him that the way
to get the news out to the world was
by sending it to me each day. He fol-
lowed the advice, and on every train +
received a packet containing the latest
developments. He was made clerk OF
the coroner's inquest which followed the
murder. and he wrote an account OF the
trial from day to day. 1t was intenselv
interesting. involving as 1t did, promi-
nent men from all parts OF the country.
The reports were eagerly read ana
the newspapers made q great spread
some
time to be the very important criminal
case before the country. The Farwelfs
engaged the Pinkertons to secure evil
dence against the murderers. Twelve
men were implicated. and Pinkerton de-
tectives lived among them Tor days and
weeks trying to gather up points con-
nected with the crime. The best lawyers
in the West were employed to defend
and also TO assist the district attorney
TO prosecute the men
Yet none was ever punished The
Pinkertons obtained almost nothing.
Although some of them had been with
the men for weeks they had not been
able to induce any of them to talk about
the killing of the Wards.
80 the one man tried was acquitted
on one count The prosecution felt that
if that was a sample OF the way juries
would act it was useless TO pursue the
crime further, and the other men were
never tried"

widows who are on the Government paw

male relatives are pensioners OF the
revolutionary war, the war OF 1872,
the Mexican war, the civil war. and the
Spanish-American conflict. Included in
this body OF women are upward of two
hundred widows OF prominent officers OF
the army or navy, each of whom receives
pension OF more than $50 per month.
Notable Women Pensioners.

Government is most generous are Mrs.

is now known as Columbia Heights. The
price was $4,000. and General Logan
paid only a small portion. giving his
notes for the balance. After the death
of General Logan his friends. raised a
