discuss throw and breaking the
Olympic record, the American ath'

Moses Taylor is out for vindication
and revenge for the IA months
which he served in the penitentiary
for attempted arson and in startling
suit filed for him today by Raley,
Richards & Raley he asks that hlS
enemies be made to pay him $4,000
for the suffering which he endured
The basis of his suit is that his foes
instead of he were back of the plot
which was fastened upon him at his
memorable trial several years ago.
The persons sued are his former
wife, Mrs. Isabel Taylor, John Ban
lister and r. j. Body.
A "Dime Novel" Story.
The filing of the suit for Taylor to-
day opens another chapter in one OF
the most sensational and bitter stories
that ever arose in this county. Taylor
is wealthy wheatraiser of the Athe-
ma country and some years ago his
wife sued him for divorce. After
long legal fight she won her case and
secured possession of her portion of
his property, though the litigation
over the same is not yet fully ended.
The divorce suit was remarkable
for its bitterness and throughout the
case Mrs. Taylor was assisted by her
brother, John Banister.
About Jne 80, 1904, 1t was discov-
cred that a plot existed to burn John
Banister's barn and grain field. The
crime was fastened upon two men,
Richard McGrath and Monroe Pal-
msr.
These two men were arrested and
both turned states evidence, saying
they had been hired by Taylor to
commit the deed On the stand both
men claimed that Taylor had employ
ed them with money to burn Ban
ister's barn, wheatfield and further
injure him. They said they had then
disclosed the plot to others who re-
quested them TO stay in the scheme
long enough TO catch Taylor in the
trap. This they declared on the
stand they did.
In his own defense on the stand
Taylor denied the accusations of Nc
Grath, Palmer and others and hi8
for truth and integrity was
then brought into question. Many
neighbors testified to the effect that
his reputation was good, while many
others gave opinions to the contrary.
Among those holding his reputation
to be bad were his former wife, his
daughter, Judge James A. Fee, John
McCourt, the late Judge T. G. HALEY,
and others.
The jury returned a verdict of gull
ty and Judge Ellis, now congressman.
sentenced Taylor to serve two and a
half years in the penitentiary. He was
pardoned out after having been in
prison for IA months.
Tables Now Turned,
In the suit which he now brings
Taylor seeks TO turn the tables on his
old enemies and to fasten the heinous
arson plot upon them. He alleges
that for the purpose of injuring him
John Banister, Isabel Taylor, his for
mer wife, and r. j. Body, conspired
to lay the plot at his door. In carry
ing out their scheme he alleges they
induced McGrath and Palmer TO take
part and later TO testify against him
to his conviction.
AS result of their alleged actions
Taylor holds that he is entitled to
S5o,OOO damages for the personal in
jury which he sustained and also for
$4,000 actual damages incurred as a
result of his prosecution.

The sweet spirit of Catherine
Gallery departed this life Friday,
the thirty-tirst day of January.
and assembled into Heaven. She
was of a most loving and affec-
tionate nature and enthroned
herself around the heart of all
near her, and now the tender
vines of that affection cannot be
broken, but must remain in our
aching hearts always.
She was a staunch, loyal and
generous little friend, and had
every trait that belongs to a
noble character. And now her
happy little life on earth is
ended. and she has gone to join
the herald angels in Heaven, to
sing with free and joyous voice
in that Heavenly choir. where
only the pure in heart may be.
To her deeply bereaved pa.
rents, her loving sister, her de-
voted brothers. the holy balm OF
religion will descend, and in
time bring them the peace OF
God and resignation to His will.
