Des Moines, May 31.-That Frank
Moriarity, the alleged bigamist, hal,

Some new points bearing on tic
case were received by Jerry B. Sulii-

from friends of the defendant. TEs
letter stated that Moriarity had, been
subject to terrible attacks of neural
gia pains in his head, and to alleviate
the pain he had frequently taken NOR,

AS result the habit became fixed
upon him, until it is now believed he
is mentally unbalanced, and has been
so for some time. This is one of the
strongest points that will be brought
out by the defense.

SHOOK SPEAKS
To VETERANS
WELL KNOWN MINISTER AD
DRESSED SOUTH SIDE MEMO
RIAL SERVICE SUNDAY

The memory of the honored depart
ed of ]. M. futile post, Grand Army OF
the Republic, was fittingly celebrated
by the post members, as well as mem
bers of the families and relatives OF
the departed old soldiers who have
been inferred in Shaul cemetery. The
Odd Fellows hall, corner Of Vine and
Church streets, was we'll filled when
the services opened, and solemnity
becoming such an occasion was felt
on all sides. Opening the meeting with
prayer, music by a choir selected for
the occasion was rendered, after
which the ritual service by Command
er j. K. King was carried out in be,
half of the post. Lincoln's Gettysburg
speech was read by John Scully and
flag demonstration by school chill,
dren followed. The J. M. futile Re
lief Corps then held an impressive
service and this was followed by mu
sic.
Shook ExtoIIs Memory.
At this juncture Rev. E. ]. Shook
pastor of the Willard Street M. E
church was introduced as the speaker
of the occasion and paid a glowing
tribute of praise and gratitude to the
grizzled veterans Of the G. A. R. There
were few, if any, within the room, who
were not moved by the force Of the
words of the speaker. Patriotism, love
duty and sacrifice were things brough
out and featured by the speaker in {
manner that made all see the grand
eur of the theme. The patriotism tina
stirred mems souls to respond to thu
call of duty from the mother the.
loved and fought for. that she nigh
still remain their mother free ant
united America. The love Of countr,
that impelled men to leave all tina
they felt and held dearest, was thu
love that actuated the men of the G. A
r., said the speaker. The sacrifice
that these. men made for their countr,
the world, will never fully know, no
can they ever repay them. Beautiful
were portrayed the noble sentiment
of the nations defenders that CAV
their all that we might have our free
dom and on closing his remarks, Rev
Shook extolled the memory of the so
diers whose remains lie in the loca
cemeteries and elsewhere Throughout
the land, as we'll as the living men
