returned to Almira. About this time
the woman who had been living with
DR.. Hughes as his wife went east;
Hughes gave out the information that
he was going to Seattle, but instead he
came to North Yakima, going direct to
the home Of Mrs. Hatch. He remained
there from the 4th to the 18th Of the
month, then returned to Almira.
Shortly after, the little son Of Mr..
Hatch, who remained In Almira with
the father, was taken i'll and was treated
by DR.. Hughes, who prevailed upon the
father to keep the fact of his illness
from Mrs. Hatch, on the ground that Il
would be unwise to disturb or alarm her
in view Of her mental condition. Mr..
Hatch agreed, but Hughes wrote secretly
to Mrs. Hatch, who returned TO Almira
at once, ostensibly OH account Of tho
illness Of her child, without notifying her
husband that she would return.
Before her arrival at hore Hughes
had = talk with Mr.. Hatch, and told
him that his wife would In all proba-
bility be In the most precarious condi.
ton mentally that she had ever been;
that she might ask for . division Of
their property, and II she did he must
agree to 1t in order to prevent her going
violently insane. This Is Just what she
did ask for and insist upon, and be-
lieving and trusting In DR.. Hughes - .
friend, MIR. Hatch unhssitatinsly con.
sented. The husband and wife went 10
Wilbur, where he decided TO her one.half
Of al their property, including mors
than 1000 acre. Of valuable land In
Lincoln county. Mrs. Hatch then came
back TO Yakima, while Hughes con.
tinued his imposition upon the credulity
Of the husband.
The next step was TO inform Mr..
Hatch that his wife was fast approach
ing the time Of greatest danger, and
that II she passed safely through the
period she would completely recover her
mental faculties In year or two. He
told him, however, that she might con-
clude to demand . divorce, and that II

HISTORY OF THE CASE.
The Herald has carefully gathered
together all the bits of information OBJ
tainable, and Is in . position to state
that the following allegations are facts;
many Of them are here given for the
FIRST time to the public. One cannot
read them without shudder OF honor
at the disclosures they contain. They
tell the story of wrecked lives and ruined
homes; Of blighted joys and hopes; Of
good woman, wife and mother led by
stronger will than her own to murder
happiness and affection in the heart Of
. true and loving husband the story Of
mans baseness and ingratitude, greed
and lust and, worst Of all, Of the wrecked
life and ruined character Of an innocent
girl just passing her childhood's years
and blossoming into the beauty and
grace Of womanhood.

woman who bears his name sixteen
years ago. Their home was in Almir4,
Lincoln county. this state. By industry
and thrift Mr.. Hatch has accumulated
property worth in the neighb ,rhood 4
! $4,000 Three children--two girls and
boy-blessed their home, and there
was not in the state Of Washington a
happier one until two years ago. About
that time DR.. Hughes appeared in
Almira, accom- panied by a woman who
posed as his wife, but who in reality
was Ada NJ. Miller, not known to have
been the wife Of anyone. They came
from Muncie, Ind, and Hughes at once
opened an Office and began the practice
OF medicine. In the course of time he
became the family physician OF the
Hatches, and performed surgical oper-
alton upon Mrs. Hatch; he treated her
subsequently, generally at his office.
Here upon one occasion he induced her
to drink vine, in which drugs Of a mar
cotic nature had been placed, and while
thus having the advantage, held inter.
course with her. Then, using the fact
as club to keep her silent, Hughes
compelled continuance Of the Illicit
relation. Later on, he told her and
succeeded in making her believe that
Mr.. Hatch was himself guilty OF inf
deity. Then he began his systematic
ally-planned work Of destroying the
happiness OF the husband. Knowing
that he could never expect to make him
doubt his wife's sincerity. he told Mr..
Hatch that she was becoming insane,

is alleged, were stolen by Hughes,
prompted him to attack the prisoner in
the courtroom. The attack was pro.
voked by an attempt on the part of
Hughes to take seat BY the side OF the
girl whom he claims is his lawful wife.
This was too much for her father, and
he savagely attacked the prisoner.
Sheriff Grant interfered, however, and
Hughes was led away to Jail. The de.

FROM YOUR FRIEND.
TAX REFORM IN HARRISON

According TO the Clarksburg Tele.
gram tax reform in Harrison county
is working like proverbial charm.
Hear what the Telegram says in re-
cent issue: "The new tax receipts are
telling some very glorious tales, and
they are making the people happy as
iarks in spring time. Even some of
those who stumped the county against
the new laws are convinced of their
error. The good news was not told
like the tax receipts tell it. The sher-
iii and deputies have been holding sit
tings and those who paid their taxes
know taxes are much lower than las..
year. In Elk district, for instance,
Ira c. Post bitterly fought against
Dawson and the new tax laws. He
raid his taxes the other day. They
amounted to $544.a3. Last year he
paid over Sos more than this year.
and practically on the same amount OF
property both years. This Is con-
Vincing saving for him. Sidney Hay.
II ond, also in Elk district, paid 1856. 6s
this year. which is $50. so less than last
year, a situation that Mr.. Raymond
said all the time would happen. In
Sardis district Ellis J. Marsh raid this
year $142.42. Last year he paid
s22422. Thus it is seen he has saved
to him more than $50 by the new tax
laws and this Notwithstanding the fact
that he gave in $1,000 more property
this year than last. Had he given IN
that much more last year, he would
have had to pay taxes to the amount
l'of 1868. Taking this years tax from
that amount, one has at least 500,
l'and that is really the difference in ia.
Vor of the new laws in his case. Also
in that district Fred Pigott paid $500
this year. Last YEAR he paid $10S.4O.
Just $40 saved for him this year.
There are instances In every district.
These few are given as fair samples
and the figures show beyond u doubt
the efficacy Of the new laws las far as
applied. The props are being knocked
from under the Democratic tax dodg-
ing platform Just as fast as the farm,
fers and otiers pay their taxes and
learn It as q fact tliat taxes have been
Fteduced."
