| Mr.. Peabody's great wealth was due in
part to his patriotism and sagacity. which
induced him to invest largely in United
States government bonds during the civil
war. For his large charitable contribu-
tons. principally toward the education
of the people of the South. he received a
vote of thanks Of the United States gov
ernment, which also voted him a gold
medal
When the Queen Of England offered
him a baronetcy, or the grand cross Of
the Order of the Bath. he declined both,
and in answer as TO which gift he would
aecept, he said; "a letter from the Queen
Of England which may carry across the
Atlantic and deposit as a memorial of
one Of her most faithful sons" The
Queen complied with the request, writing
Mr.. Peabody a graceful letter Of ac-
acknowledgement of his more than prince
ly muniflcence."
Mr.. Peabody died in London on Novem-
Der 4, 1859, and his obsequies were ceIe-
brated in Westminster Abbey. It was the
first time in history that the gates of the
abbey were opened for the burial OF a
private citizen of another country. AS he
desired TO be buried by the side Of his
mother, his remains were brought to this
country by an English man-of-war. and
they were laid in the little cemetery at
Danvers (now Peabody, Mass.

NO LOVE LOST
BETWEEN THEM
Accused Dynamiters Have a Duel
Of Words in Police
Court.
WILSON AS HIS OWN LAWYER
Delaney Admits Being an Ex-Convict
And Gets Badly Mixed Up in
It:s Testimony.

Ready to fly at each others throat,
with eyes cleaning with hatred. with
elimination and recrimination, Fred
Wilson and John Delaney, the two men
charged with dynamiting the steel
structural work at the Hotel Utah on
Dec. %, furnished the stellar attraction
in the criminal division OF the city court
this morning.
The prosecution has rested and the
defense now has an inning. Delaney
took the stand in his own behalf this
morning and started out by telling the
court what good boy he had always
been. He declared that Wilson came
to him before the explosion and pro-
posed a scheme to blow up the works
and also to eXtort money from The
Deseret News. Delaney declared he
refused to have anything to do with
the job but admitted that he agreed to
say nothing and that Wilson had prom
ised him half the proceeds.
On searching cross-examination by
Atty Walter W. Little, who Is assist
ing in the prosecution. Delaney repeat
edly declared that Wilson's proposition
with reference to this paper was made
before the explosion.
At this testimony Wilson smiled
broadly because he knew 1t to be In
correct as Wilson did not attempt to
get money from the paper until after
the explosion, when he was supposed
to give information that would lead
guilty persons,
Wilson also cross examined Delaney
and showed his hatred for the man
by the questions he asked.
DELANEY AN EX-CONVICT.
1t was brought out that Delaney
served time in prison at Birmingham.
Ala, but for what crime he did not
state. Delaney admitted the fact.
Delaney declared that he gave Wilson
money at time when he-Delaney-
was out of work.
Where did you get the money
from II you had not been working?"
demanded Wilson,
Il pawned these gold false teeth
worth SIS for $40 to a Dentist" an
swered Delaney.
Did you not make a proposition to
me to get guns and go out and stick
up people?"
'"I never did"
Didn't you tell me the day after the
explosion that when you were down
in the pit, or excavation, that the
man who was with you was a cow
ardly- and that you had to
shove a gun into his back to make
him go through with his part OF the
job?"
Delaney also denied this and re-
peatedly declared that 1t was Wilson
who did the job.
At this point court adjourned until
tomorrow morning. In answer to
Judge Bowman's question as to how
much longer Wilson desired to cross
examine Delaney. Wilson said he
would want to question the man for al
least an hour. AS the case stands at
the present time. Delaney accuses Will
son of throwing the dynamite and
Wilson accuses Delaney of doing the
job.

the financial decks were cleared: then
the parties in trouble could emerge
from constructive arrest, and return 10
their military duties
1t was either that or the unpleasant
publicity of a court martial Such little
legal experiences cost money, as legal
talent necessary for the defense is ex-
pensive. The commanding officer IN
TINS case had all this in mind, and with
wisdom more or less Solomonic found
an inexpensive way out OF the difficult
ty. The accused were quick to see the
point. and gracefully acquiesced, and
the duration of their much needed
rest Will depend on the time occupied
In paying long delayed bills. Ono
Ninth cavalry officer who was tried at
this post for an offense committed at
Duchesne. paid a noted Salt Lake at
torney $500 for clearing him. 1t was
money well invested, but the drain on
the purse of the officer and his friends
was such as to perforce keep him walk
