Bristol, Va, May 29.-Three women
of old Virginia. who had prayed to
God from childhood that they might be

rejoiced in the realization of their
prayer when they met that man on
the Cloyd farm battlefield. near Dublin,
at the recent reunion.
It was Captain A. s. Mcneil. Of Bris-
toll, a man who endured many Of the
hardships Of war, including prison life
at Camp Chase, that these women de-
sired to see, although they did not
know his name or that he was still liv-
ing until they met him incidentally at
the reunion.
1t was on this battlefield that their
father met death. He was the Rev.
William p Hickman. Presbyterian
minister OF Scotch-Irish descent. and
whose home was near the battlefield.
Against odds Hickman went into the
battle with his company, at the time

wore az a minister. He was shot and

He heard afterward of the ministers

MRS, PEARY MAKES
 SERIOUS CHARGE Statement Is Made In Refer ence to FranCke's Charges DEFENSE OF HER HUSBAND Accusations of Francke That Peary Opened Some of Cooks Letters
 Are Met By Mrs. Peary Who
 Denies Such Acts.
DEFENSE OF HER HUSBAND

Sydney, N. S., September 12.-(Spe- ciaL L)-"Rudolph Francke wrote me two letters, stating that if I sent $5OOC to Mrs. Frederick A. Cook, wife of the explorer. there would be no further trouble"
 With the greatest reluctance, Mrs. Peary made this statement tonight to a Hearst News reporter. It was in re- ply to charges made by Francke that Commander Peary had opened, read and even altered letters entrusted by Cook to Francke. In these letters it was as- serted. was the plans of Cook and re- ports of his progress toward the pole.
 'I am exceedingly loath to speak concerning this matter" said Mrs Peary Ut is only because my husband has been attacked and the public as result may draw a wrong conclusion of the affair that I come to his defense. I had hoped to keep entirely aloof from this most unfortunate controversy.
 Now let me explain. After Francke had returned from the Arctic he began to make trouble by saying that my husband had stolen pr. Cooks furs. He even said MT. Peary had found them at Etah and sent them as presents to his friends in the United States.
 "Francke returned on the Eric. He had left Dr. Cook and after futile ef- forts to get south he was taken care of by MT. Peary and given transporta- tion aboard the Eric.
 "It was on the Eric Francke asserted that the Cook furs were sent south by my husband.
 After Francke had reached New York. I received letter from him sn German. In 1t he made the accusation which I have alluded to. He furth stated that some men who were them selves scoundrels had noble wives For that reason he hoped that I would see that there was justice done.
 The furs which he said belonged to Dr. Cook was certainly worth $5000, and if that amount of money was paid Mrs Cook there would be no further talk
 "As to the charge that MT. Peary
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-13

would steal furs or anything else be- longing to Dr. Cook 1t is too absurd to discuss. I know he will explain everything when he comes home.
 Ridiculous, also, is that statement reported to have been made by MT. Franke that Commander Peary opened Cooks letter. It has been said that affidavits have been made by Francke and Joseph White making this accu- sation. Now do you think it probable that if MT. Peary intended to do such an evil thing he would have done 1t In the presence of two witnesses7
 The only Cook letters that I know anything about were written by Mrs. Cook to her husband. At her request my husband carried them north on the Roosevelt.
 "It Is a pity that my husbands great achievement sh ould be involved in such a bitter controversy. He has struggled for nearly a quarter of a century to win this victory"
 When Herbert L. Bridgman, secre- tary of the Peary Arctic club, was asked concerning Francke's threat to sue Mrs. Peary, said:
 Lewis L. Delafield of No. l Wall street, New York, attorney for the Peary Arctic club, will receive any papers which Francke desires to have served on Mrs. Peary.
 The more fully the details of this affair are made known, the better Will people realize how Commander Peary and his noble wife have suffered from talk of those envious of the explorers achievements.
 "Franckes charges will be absolutely disproyed by Peary. Francke was be- friended by Peary.
 "Peary found him and took him aboard. He gave him $50 in cash, bought him clothing and arranged to have him make the return trip aboard the Eric. the supply ship of the expe- dition.
