THE STATE IN
GENERAL
THE WAGES OF SIN PAID BY THE
SINNER, MORRIS NEW
TON, OF DELTON.
MOTHER is NOW IN JAIL
The Career of Frances Titus and Her
Lover Was Brief and Ended With a
Shocking Tragedy.

Frances Titus, of Cloverdale. was
married to Morris Newton, of Delton,
Wednesday, just before noon. I'M
mediately after the marriage in Grand
Rapids the couple came TO Newton's
parents home, near the village of
Cloverdale 1t was after they left that
the body of their six months old child
was found in the Grand River at
Grand Rapids. Wife and husband were
i'm the Newton home when Grand
Rapids police officers got the house
by phone and asked the questions
which caused Morris to go out into
the yard. without a word to his wife
or anyone else, and shot himself TO
death. Later the officers came and
took the wife to Grand Rapids, where
she is in Jail. She made this state
ment:
Soon after our baby was born my
husband began to devise means to get
rid of 1t. He wanted to poison it. He
said he would bury it in Cloverdale.
would not consent to this. Then he
talked Of throwing it in the river, and
TO this, also, | objected
Il suggested leaving the baby on
somebody's doorstep. Then he stopped
talking of killing it, ! wanted him TO
take it TO the Children's home Tues
day night, but he wouldn't call up the
home on the phone. Finally he put
the baby in the suit case. saying he
would leave it on the doorstep of a
cousin OF mine. lie left the house at
S p. m. and came back at 1920. Then
We packed up and went 10 a hotel

Delton 4 reporter came and ques-
toned myself and husband. After we
had all gone to bed my husband
thought he heard step on the porch
and thought the officers had come. He

Thus does Frances Titus Newton,
of Cloverdale. Barry county, place
with her dead husband responsibility
for the death of their six-weeks old
baby girl. whose dead body was found
Wednesday morning by wood picker
floating in the Grand river in a suit
case perforated with holes The name
Of Mrs. Newton's father, a farmer near
Cloverdale, led To the solution of the
mystery.
Only a few years ago Frances Titus
was one Of the cheeriest. most popular
girls in Cloverdale and Denton. Every
one liked her and there was always
rivalry among the boys in the little
country school as 10 who should take
her to dances and parties.

MEET IN DENVER.
Democratic National Convention to Be
Held July z.

After deciding to hold the next
Democratic national convention at
Denver and fixing the date OF the
meeting for July Z. 1908. the Demo.
cratic national committee entered
upon a spirited debate on the propri
ETY. OF accepting more OF the 100000
offered by Denver for the convention
than actually needed to Fay the con.
vention expenses in that city.
The opposition TO the acceptance of
the contribution took the form Of a
resolution by Representative Clayton
of Alabama. declining moaey not &C.
tually needed for convention purposes,
but after long debate the resolution
was laid on the table by vote of 81
to IL.
Mr.. Clayton. representative John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi and
Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, all
spoke in favor of the passage Of the
resolution. Mr.. Smith was especially
emphatic in saying that the 100000
which had been offered to secure the
Republican convention and refused by
the Republican national committee
had been offered TO and was about TO
be accepted by the Democratic com.
mittee. He said the Republicans had
turned down the offer because ii was
regarded in the nature of a bribe and
that Democrats, in view Of that cir
cumstance, could not afford to accept
1t.
Mr.. Williams spoke in similar vein,
as also did MIR. Clayton. Mr.. Tag
CART advocated the acceptance of the
100000, saying it would be needed
now even worse than money was need
ed in 1904 and that at that time it
would have been practically imposs-
ible to have opened headquarters for
Judge Parker if they had not had the
extra money secured from ST. Louis,
where the convention was held.

Gen. Kuropatkin. who was the star

gave evidence that amounted TO a
showing that Stoessel was not to
blame for the fall of Port Arthur. He
made the interesting statement that
the Japanese could have taken Port
Arthur by assault in the early days OF
the war The defenses were then so in
complete that the fortress must have
fallen at the first vigorous attack; but
the slowness of the japanese and the
resistance made by the army in the
field gave ythe Russians time to i'm

Its absence an indication OF the an
