ater and the last of her professional en-
gagements. Her husband was to call for
her after the matinee and together they
were to go to the KnickerbockerI Trust
company and open an account.
The matinee over, she waited in vain.
Then she went to their apartments and
waited there. He did not come to take
her to dinner or to accompany her to
the theater, and terrified lest he had met
with an accident she called in the police.
A policeman's mind works along diff
fSrent lines from a wifes in cases such
as this and the first thing the officers
did was to inquire about these drafts.
They had been cashed. The cashier who
paid them said that Quinby himself got
the money. and the cashier who paid
that money to him was the last of his
acquaintance to see Herbert QuinbN
His wife maintained and still at times
believes that her husband met with foul
play. She cannot understand the de-
pravity that would abscond with the
money that was to be devoted to their
united happiness.
But Herbert Quinby never came back
and never sent any word. He may be
alive or dead, but If his record is any
criterion there is nothing more certain
than that alive or dead he has not got
that money now. Twenty thousand dol
lars in two years would be easy spending
for him.
And the wife? Well, the Orpheum pro-
gram answers that question. The shock
Of her husbands disappearance caused
a complete nervous collapse and for
months she was victim of nervous pros
tration. Then she faced fortune bravely,
gathered together her pickaninnies and
resumed her stage name Mrs. Quinby
Is no more.
But Mayme Remington smiles and says
that one day she will have money to
improve that Long Island real estate.

ance with twenty Thousand dollars two
years ago in June.
Miss Remington is the stage name that
conceals the identity of Quinby's wife.
She Is also the owner of the money that
went at the same time.
When Miss Hall, to give her the name
that was really hers, met Herbert Quin-
by three years ago he was reputed a
wealthy man, but the large fortune he
had inherited was already thing of the
past He was a "good fellow live
Indian and the best citizen ever In that
fair land called Bohemia His court
ship was short and decisive. Miss Hall
married the fascinating young society
man in February, 1905, and at once be-
gan to pay his laundry bills, for it de-
veloped Immediately that otherwise they
could not be paid.
For four months she enjoyed this
happy privilege. Then came the mys-
terious event that caused even more
than the usual nine days wonder.
Soon after her marriage Mrs. Quinby' s
father died. She received the first in
stallment of her Inheritance and invest
ed 1t safely in Long Island real estate.
The remainder, some $4,000, was to be
devoted to improvements that would
give the Quinbys a steady income, so
that Miss Remington's name need no
longer decorate the billboards.
One day in June the attorney who had
the matter in charge delivered over to
Mrs. Quinby drafts for $4,000. Like a
good and trusting wire she handed these
to her husband to take care of. He

BLOW AT THE STATE Important Turning Point in the Trial of Judge
 Loving. MISS LovING's STORY
 M@- Judge Cites Thaw Case in Declining Evidence to
 Inpeach It.
MISS LovING's STORY

Houston, Va, June 2F.--The taking of evidence in the case of former Judge Loving, who was placed on trial in the circuit court of Halifax county here last Monday for the murder of young Theodore Estes in Nelson county on April %, was concluded this afternoon. The court then adjourned until to-mor- row morning when the instructions to be given to the jury will be argued before Judge w. R, Barksdale, tho pre- siding magistrate. The rapidity with which the trial has progressed has been most remarkable and surprising to practically all concerned.
 To-day marked a most important turning point in the case when Judge Barsdale rendered an opinion concern ing the admissibility of certain evil dence, the decision dealing a heavy blow to the plans of the prosecution. Attorney Daniel Harmon for the state yesterday announced his intention of introducing witnesses to show that the story told by Miss Elizabeth Loving to her father that she was drugged and assaulted by Theodore Estes was a fabrication and that Estes never offered any indignities to the girl, even sug- gesting that there might be another motive back of the killing The de- fense objected to the Introduction of such testimony on the ground that 1t had no bearing on the case and wheth- CT true or false had nothing to do with the question of the insanity of Judge

DEFENSE IS LIMITED Cannot Show Existence of a Counter Conspiracy
 Against Haywood. BoYCE ON THE STAND Denies Existence of a Plot or "Inner Circle" to Do
 Illegal Acts.
BoYCE ON THE STAND

Boise, Idaho, June 27.-A ruling made to-day by Judge Wood while Edward Boyce, four years the leader of the Western Federation of Miners and now wealthy mine owner of the Occur DAlenes, was testifying in behalf of William D. Haywood, may limit ma terially the showing of the defense as to the existence of the counter-conspir- acy against Haywood and his assist ants.
 James H. Hawley, for the state, ob- jected to a general question as to the policy and practice of mine owners throughout the west in blacklisting union miners, and in the argument that followed Clarence Darrow, for the de- fense, claimed that same latitude in proving counter conspiracy that the state enjoyed in showing a conspiracy. MT. Hawley contended that the state had directly shown the existence of a conspiracy by Harry Orchard, and by so doing had laid the foundation for and made the connection of all the evil dence subsequently offered on the sub ject. He said that the defense was trying to show a counter conspiracy by proving various isolated instances and certain general conditions, none of which were connected with the case and for none of which proper foun- dation had been laid.
 In ruling the court accepted, in part the contention of the prosecution and limited the proof of the defense along

ANTI MERGER
 BILL PASSES Practically Its Final Stage In the Massachu- setts Legisla-
 ture.
SEVERE ATTACK
 ON MIR. MELLEN
Charged With Admitting Before Committee the Violation of His
 Word.

Boston, June 27.--A bill designed to prevent the proposed merger of the Boston and Maine railroad with the New York, New Haven and Hartford system until specific authority be given for such a consolidation by the legis- lature, passed what is practically its final stage in the legislature to-day.
 After an all-day discussion of the measure it was ordered to engrossment by the senate at 4:80 o'clock by a vote of 36 to g. The only action needed be- fore the bill is placed in the governor s hands for his signature is the concur rent action of the house on minor amendment The bill will probably be sent to the chief executive tomorrow, when the legislature may be prorogued.
 The bill was framed along general lines Ito restrain the consolidation of railroad corporations" but is aimed di- rectly at the proposed merger of the two greatest New England railroad sys- tems.
 No less than a score of amendments were proposed at the hearing before the committee on railroads but only one was adopted-that of Senator Will liam Faxon of Stoughton-qmaking the restrictive legislation not applicable to railroad not acquired before May l, 1907
 This amendment and in fact the whole bill was attacked by Senator James H. Vahey during the debate to- 1 day, as being too weak. The Faxon amendment, he argued, practically null | flied the intent of the act, inasnuch as large amount of Boston and Maine stock was acquired by the New Haver road or Its friendly interests prior to May l."
 In a long speech MT. vahey vehe- mentIy charged certain republican | members with playing politics in con I nection with the bill and in q vigorous attack upon President MelieR of the New Haven road he charged him witt !! having openly admitted before the rail- road committee that he had violated 1 his own agreement, and the law of tht state as well, in certain leases and pur- chases of electric railways in Massa' chusetts.
 A proposition to refer the bill to tht voters at the next election was killed by vote of 20 to IS, with seven re- publicans recorded in the affirmative In the vote upon engrossment Senators Buttrick of Lancaster and Schuster oi Worcester were the only senators whC voted in opposition.

 The crew was met at the ataaAou. yany a cheering mob of 5000 people and tho Second Regiment band. Red fire ana rockets shot up into the air and the oarsmen were hustled into two large carryalls, which conveyed them to tue New Haven house, where dinner waa awaiting them.

ABOVE DOLLAR MARK
Wheat for December Delivery Goes to
 sl.Oahh fin Chicago.

Wheat for December Delivery Goes to
 s1.Oa1h fin Chicago.
 Chicago, June 2Ts-Wheat to-day went above the dollar mark, the September option selling on the floor of the board of trade for S1 and the December de- livery for s1.O3 1-2. The sharp advance was unexpected to the majority of traders, and 1t came with startling suddenness. The advance was caused by the report of stattstlcian who last April estimated that the winter wheat crop would amount to S25,000000 bush els. This estimate was based on the expectation that Kansas would produce 6o,00o,000 bushels. A report was issued by the statistician declaring that the crop will probably fall 1O,00o,OO0 bush els below this amount because of the damage sustained in Kansas.
 This statement caused shorts to cov- CT actively, and as there was but little wheat for sale the price advanced rap idly, Much of the advance was lost because of proft-taking sales, the final quotations for September and Decem- Der being, respectively, 99 and 1.01 5-S.
