SWEETHEART
CHARLES DALE, CHARGED WITH
THEFT OF DIAMOND FROM FOR.
mER FRIEND. TELLS REMARK.
ABLE STORY IN COURT.

Charles Dale, the young man re-
Gently brought back from Ovid, Mich,
on a charge Of stealing a $500 diamond
ring from Albert ]. Woodwork, OF
this city put up a most remarkable
defense on his examination before
Justice Jeffries. Tuesday morning.
According to Dale, no lover could
be more attentive to his fancee than
was Woodward to him. He declared
that Woodwork had frequently CIV
en- him money. clothes and shoes, paid
for his laundry bills and even given
him the diamond which he Is charged
with having stolen. He testified also
that Woodwork had promised to give
him an orange grove In Florida and
set him up in the fruit business there
IL he would accompany the former on
a trip through the south. The ring.
he said. was given him a short time
before the two took an eastern trip
together.
At the time of his arrest, Dale was
on hi> way TO see his sweetheart with
a view to getting married. Wood
worth, he says, objected, to the match
and caused his arrest on the charge
OF stealing the diamond to prevent
Its fulfillment.
Justice Jeffries, however. decided
to hold Dale for trial In the record
er's court, and fixed his bail at $500
with two sureties, which Dale has not
furnished as yet.

Monday was the hottest day of the

Monday, than on any previous day In
the city's history. Every engine at

capacity, with the result that 5000, 900
gallons OF water were sent coursing

In spite OF the intense heat no pros

HUSBAND WHO sLEW Her.

Miss Elizabeth Monaghan. OF No.
ITO Meldrumave.. sister Of Mrs. T. J.
Linahan. who was shot by her hus-
band last Wednesday afternoon In
their rooms on Park-pl.. and who AZ.
forwards died from the effects Of the
wounds. bitterly resents the rehec.
lions on the character OF her sister
made by Linaman. v
I'm giving out reports against the
character OF my sister. Linahan
sought only to justify his cowardiy
and brutal murder" declared Miss
Monaghan. Tuesday. AT the time Of
the crime. we were anxious to escape
notoriety. and thus remained silent.
but we now believe we must say
something TO protect the name Of our
dead sister.
I'm the nrst place, Linahan and my
sister were married about 10 years
ago In Windsor In st. Alphonsus'
church. as IL plainly shown by the
records. and not by An Episcopal rec.
tor. az has been said. From the first.
he abused her to such an extent that
she was ashamed to be known as his
wife. He left her shortly after their
marriage. and for 10 years contrtbut-
ed nothing to her support. with the
exception OF once or twice they lived
together for q short time.
"On one occasion he struck her,
took the last cent she had and left
her. although she begged him not to
take her money. Forced to go to
work. she was supporting herself and
knew nothing Of his whereabouts,
only at times when he would appear
without money and appeal to her for
aid. Under these circumstances. she
was ashamed to admit she had hus.
band. and for this reason started tho
restaurant under her maiden name.
About two months ago. Lnahan ar.
rived In Detroit without cent and
went To her for assistance. She was
80 kind-beaxted that she gave him
what she could spare. Although he
struck her on numerous occasions she
tried to screen him and did not tell
her people OF his abuse.
"r.inahan said she did not go to her
ho,ue nights, but she came here just
as she said she did. and on one oc-
casion had black mark on her face
whore he Aad struch her. and broken
here teeth. Linahan claimed he saw
her coming from a saloon and hes
waist was torn. Now, as a matter or
fact, we have the shirt waistt and
there Is not a mark on 1t. She was
good woman. as can be attested by
every one who knew her. and he Ii
simply seeking to shield himself by
besmirching her reputation.
I'VE know that her name Will be
cleared at Lnahan's trial. and were II
not for the false light In which he
has placed her. we would wait until
that time to have everything set
right"
A warrant charging Linahan With
the murder Of his wife was issued by
Police Justice Jeffries. Tuesday morn
ing. on the complaint Of Signal Ohcer
William II. Downie. 1t will be several
days. however, before Linahan. who
Is in st. Mary's hospital recovering
from a self-infiicted wound, will be
