ROUGH SIDE OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Gallery Man Would Quit Taking Baby
Pictures IL IL Seemed
Possible,


i've a notion just to cut out taking pic
lures of babies" said local photographer
as he hung up the receiver where, for
sometime, he had been talking to an angry
woman, but a fond mamma.
Now that woman is kicking about the
proofs of the picture OF her baby that
took a few days ago. The proofs are fine
but, of course, they don't suit her. She
sees things in that baby that are not
reflected In the lens Of the camera. They
are little things about the baby that she
has learned TO love. And because they
don't appear in the picture she thinks the
sun, the camera and myself have entered
into a great conspiracy to belittle the
beauty and loneliness of her little son.
Now, the camera doesn't see the baby
through the same eyes as the mother
The parents should not expect me to trans
fer to the photograph all OF the cunning
little things that their very admirable and
bright offspring does. But they do expect it
Just the same 1 almost never send out
proofs of the baby pictures that are not
objected to- 1t is the most dlsagreeable
duty to wait on the woman when she brings
baby for a second sitting. She will look
at me with daggers in her eye, as though
it was something l did to the camera that
detracted from baby's appearance. Or
else she will give me that sad lingering
look that one generally gives to a way
ward son or some poor degenerate, past
hope of redemption.
III there was any way to do II. 1 would
certainly quit the baby picture business

BLOW TO UNWRITTEN LAW
Plea of Alleged CoIored Murderer
Fails for Lack of Marriage =
Certificate.

The unwritten law plea offered in the de-
tense of Hugh Gray. the negro on trial for
murder, was sadly disfigured Tuesday morn
ing by an opinion rendered by Judge Sutton
to the effect a common law marriage did
not exist between Gray and Lillian Taylor
the woman over whom the trouble occurred
The opinion was rendered after the attor-
Leys had argued for over an hour. Judge
Sutton directed the jury that under the law
such a marriage did not exist and the jury
should pay no attention to the testimony
tending to establish such a relationship.
Judge Baxter and Judge Reed, attorneys
for Gray, sought to establish the relation
ship between the two for a double purpose
It would have prevented her from testify
ing against Gray and It would have given
them basis for the plea Gray was defending
the honor Of his home when he shot Harvey
Williams, his rival, for the affections of
the Taylor woman. Evidence was intro
duced to show they held themselves out
as man and wife to white people with
whom they dealt
Gray, himself, at the coroners inquest
testified they were not married and the
Taylor woman declared when she went on
the stand she never considered herself his
wife. 1t was also shown she was divorced
February Is and the state contended under
the law she was not competent to contract
a marriage until six months after that. Tho
defendant asserted the relations began be-
fore the divorce was granted. Judge Sutton
held the circumstances did not show a COM
mon law marriage.
The woman will be one Of the principal
Witnesses against Gray.

Takes Sick Monday.

Hughes was very sick Monday and an ef-
fort was made to send him to the county
hospital. He was taken to the hospital
in the. patrol wagon with two other pa
tents, but the officials refused to receive
him without an order from the county
physician, which was lacking, and he was
returned TO the jail and again treated by
DR.. Harris. He was very reticent at the
Jail and refused to give the officers any
information concerning himself, but did
not complain to the jailer of being sick
Tuesday morning. 1t was the intention of
the officers to have him sentenced to the
county jail, where his physical condition
would necesstate his being taken to the
county hospital even without an order from
the county physician.
It is believed his death was caused from
the effects of the laudanum, but this Is
not certain. Hughes bought the poison
early Sunday morning at the Haines Drug
company, Thirteenth and Farnam streets,
when he told the clerk his name was Ham
ilton and that he was a physician. He
seemed very despondept, but refused TO
admit that the poison had been taken with
suicidal intent.

Police Omcers Find Him IN sitting
Posture some Time After
Life Had Left His
Body.

lodging house, 1873 Douglas street. and
was revived by Police Surgeon Harris and
taken to the city jail, was found dead
in his cell about a. m. Tuesday by ON
GERS Woodbridge and Goodrich. He was
about 50 years Of age and is believed to
have come from Des Moines. The coroner
took charge Of the body and will hold an
inquest at p. m. Tuesday to ascertain
the cause Of the mans death.
Hughes was removed from his cell, No. 8,
in the west tier OF cells about a. M, and
placed with other prisoners while his cell
was washed. He was then put back In
the cell alone and his death occurred some
time between then and O'Clock, when the
attention of Officer Woodbridge was at
tracted by his peculiar posture Hughes
was sitting on the bench in the cell, partly
dressed and in a slightly recumbent atti-
tude. Woodbridge called Goodrich, as he
thought Hughes might be sick. but he had
been dead for some time when the Officers
reached him.
Little is known Of Hughes at the Dia-
mond lodging house. as he had only been
there a few days and did not appear to
have any employment. Sunday morning
he went into the Office and took a chair
near the stove, where the peculiar express
sion Of his eyes attracted the attention OF
George Pickard, a ledger, who summoned
aid from the police station. DR.. r. y.
Harris gave Hughes a hypodermlc injection
after he found the man had taken nearly
the entire contents Of two-ounce bottle
Of laudanum and after working on him
| for two hours at the police station 1t was
| thought that he would recover.
