Her Children Visit Wretched
Mother at Jail-AWful
Family Tragedy.

Henderson, KY, May 2S.-COnfined
in a dingy cell on the second floor
Of the county Jail, Mrs. Zorah ]. Eb-
len, slayer of her husband, B. w.
Eblen, spent Friday, probably the
darkest day of her life, alone, with
the exception of seeing her three
children about 10 minutes before
noon.
The prisoner remained on a cot all
forenoon, suffering with a severe
headache. She told Jailer Williams
that she did not want to see anyone
during the day except her three boys.
Shortly before noon the children
were brought to the Jail corridors.
Each child was allowed to stand at
the cell door and talk with his moth
er for ten minutes.
When the children appeared Mrs.
Eblen went into Mysteries. She reach
ed her arms through the strong bars
and pulling each child close to the
grim cell door, planted kiss after
kiss on their cheeks. All three chill
dren broke down and had to be fore
ed away from the cell.
Shortly before 2 o'clock the tolling
of the Baptist church bell just across
the street from the Jail brought the
realization to Mrs. Eblen that the
funeral of her victim was in progress.
Wringing her hands and trembling
like an aspen leaf, the woman walk
ed to and fro in her small steel cell
until exhausted.
The deep and sad toll of the funeral
bell completely unnerved the prison.
err. From the moment she was plac-
ed in a cell ten minutes after her ter
rible crime, until the first tap of the
church bell, Mrs. Eblen bore up won
derfully well.
Mrs. Eblen will be taken before
County Judge Young on Monday
morning for examining trial. In the
event the negro woman, Matte
White, is not able to appear, the ex-
aiming trial will be continued to
every third day until the White wo-
man RECEIVERS sufficiently to attend
the trial.
1t was learned to-day that Mrs, Eb-
len will enter plea of self-defense.
Her attorneys refuse to state what
her plea will be, but it is more than
!
likely that self-defense will be her
/ plea, as the unwritten law had test
in this county last summer when A.
n. Lett shot and killed Durward Den
ton. Lett changed his plea to self
defense and was not indicted.
The funeral of Mr.. Eblen was held
at . O'Clock this afternoon from the
Baptist church by Rev. Chandler.
The attendance WIS the largest ever
seen in this city.
The negro woman servant is inn
proving and will be able to leave the
city hospital in a few days. After
her sensational statement Thursday
afternoon of the illicit relations be-
tween herself and the dead man, the
woman made a statement that she
wished she knew just what Mrs. Eb-
len wanted her to say. She stated
to a reporter upon entering the col
ored ward, Are you for Mr.. or Mrs.
Eblen?"'

R|D|CULES THE CLAIM
STATE OPPOSES QUAsHING OF
BROWNE INDICTMENT.
Counsel For Man Charged With
Bribery Holds That 0fense Is
Not Against Law Of Illinois.

CHICAGO, May 27.-The state today
presented it's argument against the mo-
ton to quash the indictment of Lee
ONeil Browne, who is charged with brib-
ing c. A. White, a state representative,
to vote for William Lorimer for United
States senator.
In answering the contention OF counsel
for Brown that bribery Of an Illinois leg
islator is not an ofrense against the law
Of the states States Attorney Wayman
grew sarcastic today.
I'VE have had two days Of argument
by the defense, trying to get this case
out of court, and when that was seen
to be falling we had a new lawyer come
into the case yesterday and try to get the
judge out Of the case" said the prose-
cutor. 1T was announced by the defense
that it is not a. crime to commit bribery
by buying a vote for United States
senator.
IF it is no crime to buy vote for
senator, then senatorship can be classed
as merchandise and should be listed on
the stock exchange. If this is true some
day we will hear the speaker OF the
house at Springfield formally open the
generally assembly, and, after the usual
prayer by the cha plain, declare the pur-
pose of the general assembly to ballot
for United States senator. Then he will
turn to the clerk and ask him to read
the price list
Mr.. Wayman then read from a deci-
sion of the United States Supreme Court
that state legislators are not officers Of
the federal government when voting for
senators, as the defense claims they are.
