 Mrs. Ellis who is still under treat ment at local hospital, was yester- day informed of the awful tragedy ia which her husband, w. Y. Ellis and N. P. Willis, her former husband, fig ured Tuesday and in which Willis lost his life. The news was broh3. to her by Dr. A. c. Jordan and her brother, Harry Bell, who deemed t , best to inform her of the tragedy lest , she might learn of it through an ac- cident and cause her great shock. Mrs. Ellis, though prostrated is bear 1 ing the ordeal excelently She has suffered many physical breakdowns but the news of the tragedy is the greatest shock she has gone through She declares that she will stand by her husband and that when the pub lie knows of the many insults she has suffered at the hands of her former husband, the people will not be ready to censure Ellis for his act. Mrs. Ellis cried ptifully when making in quiries about the welfare of Ellis and little Mary.
 Tragic Death Closes Contest
 The sudden and tragic death of Na- thaniel Parker Willis, who was shot and killed in Little Rock court room yesterday by William Y. Ellis. of Pine Bluff, husband of Willis former wife l has brought to close one of the greatest contests ever waged in the courts of the country for the custody of child. Since little Mary Willis
 who is now six years old, was one year old. her father has been fight ing in the courts to get possession of her and chr mother has been fight ing successfully to keep her in her custody For more than five years the legal battle has gone on. result ing finally in blood being spilled. in the death of the childs father and in the step-father of the little girl be- ing placed behind prison bars to an- swer the most serious charge on the i legal calendar, that of murder. For love of little Mary thousands of 1 dollars have been spent in court costs. thousands more have been spent in
 lawyers fees. Some of the most bril- liant attorneys in the land have rum aged through rows of musty law l books and used all their powers a9 argument. Grave judges of the cir ] cult and supreme courts have in the meantime handed down learned opin-
 ions and decisions in the various cases.
 The little blue-eyed girl, who is Jae
 bone of contention in this awful life
 tragedy, is unconscious of it all. She
 is now with her grandparents, the
 parents of the man who killed her own father at Fayetteville Ark
 while her mother, critically ill, is
 being cared for at a local sanitariur9.
 Mary is pretty and charming She
 dearly loves her mother, with whom
 she lives, and says she also loves her
 father, who she has seldom seen, and | c1n i~ in,
 fatuated with her stepfather, who has Isacrificed his freedom in his love fo
 her.

Beginning of Tragedy

The father of the little girl. Nathan iel Parker Willis who was killed while trying to get his baby. lived at No. 2037 North Delaware, Norton, Place, Indianapolis. He was a nephew of Mrs. l.. l.. Culver, of No 58S7 Cabanne Place, St. Louis. She is the wealthy widow of a St. Louis manufacturer owner of the Majestic Stove Works. When they married in Indianapolis. April 2S, 1898, Mrs. Will lis birthday, Willis rich St. Louis aunt gave them a magnificent home in Indianapolis. and they went there to live. Mrs. Willis maiden name was Miss Hattie Bell, and her mother liv- ed at Hayti. Mo.
 Willis was at that time and at the time of his death making and selling a cure for the liquor habit. Two years alter the marriage, Mrs Willis left her husband and went with her baby 10 her mother at Hayti. Mo. She alleged that her husband was unkind to her. Willis followed her to her Missouri home and pleaded with her to return to Indianapolis. She told nm his grandmother was very sick there and wished to see the baby. At first Mrs. Ellis refused, but he prom lsed to divide his property with her; 10 allow her to get divorce quiet ly, and to give her custody of the child and support her She finally yielded. When they arrived at h. dianapolis, Willis directed his wife ) hotel. and took the child to his home under promise that he would return the girl to her at the hotel before dark. stating that he was going to take her to the sick relatives be,l- side.
 A0ull Never See Her Again
 When darkness came on and her baby had not been returned. Mrs. Will lis telep,.oned to her husband and asked him to explain. He told her curtly- she alleged, that she might never hope to see her baby again. Almost distracted she advised with her attorneys and that night began the legal contest, which has gone on ever since and which had so tragic a close yesterday in the capital city of Arkansas.
 Before midnight her lawyers had appliedsfor writ of habeas corpus and the judge of the district court had granted it. citing MT. Willis to ap- rear in court and show cause why he should not return the child to the mother. At the hearing. before Judge Henry Clay Allen, Mir Willis was or dered to return the girl to Mrs. Will lis. He took an appeal to the Supreme court of Indiana and it affirmed the {udement of of the lower court.
