Project Approved by Son of the
Former President Carnot

The people of Auton are DESTROYS of
erecting a monument to the memory of
Marshal MacMahon, who was born in
their midst at Sully. Among others
who have been asked to support the
movement is M. Carnot. son of the
former president of the French repub-
lic Carnot has replied, giving his con-
sent. stating that he can not but feel
battered at being asked to join the
movement. and pays this tribute to the
duke of Magenta, to give MacMahon his
title: HE was a brave soldier great
patriot and an upright man. President
Carnot held him in the highest esteem.'
Carnot then adds note of qualifica-

hesion to the project on the UNDER
standing that the proposal is the out
come of a unanimous desire to do honor
to a great Frenchman, and that the
memorial will not be exploited by
any political party, nor must 1t be as
sumed that Carnot approves of all that

I'VE hope that competent authorities

Dragged and Had Only
Slight Scratches

CHICAGO, July 9.-Thomas Taggart
OF Frenck Lick Springs, Ind, former

Lick. He sold out to her and 1, OF
course, rerented to her the apartments
in one OF my hotels"
Did you ever hear anything against
her character?"
ExONERATED BY ATTORNEY
This question started a wrangle be-
tween the attorneys from the midst OF
which Attorney ODonneu, addressing
both the court and Taggart, made g
formal statement generating Taggart
In every particular, saying:
Il want 1t distinctly understood that
Mr.. Taggart's name was brought into
this case over my protest. We have
proof that Miss Gingles was never &C.
quainted with Mr.. Taggart and his
name was mentioned only indirectly to
her. 1t might have been any one OF
10000 names of wealthy men, but ii
happened to be Mr.. Taggart, and in
this particular Mr.. Taggart Is unfor-
tunate."
The Interrogation of the witness as
10 Miss Gingles was exceedingly brief
DO you know Miss Gingles?" asked
Attorney Short.
I do not" answered Taggart with
emphasis.
Did you ever hear of Miss Gingles
before this case?" continued Short
Only some months ago, when some
body brought me a paper containing
the names of Miss Gingles and Miss
Barrette"

given out statements to papers where
in Taggart's name was mentioned.
Il did not" replied ODonnell holly;
Il am not an assassin"

Her knees were tied to the bath tub

She was hysterical but not uncon-

that she had not been drugged. / ex-
amined her but found no evidence OF
an attack save few slight scratches
Her wounds were slight and superficial
