CONTRACT WORTHLESS.

This conversation occurred in June,
1893. one month after Mrs. Turnbull
testified she had declined to live with
Baldwin, following her discovery that
the alleged marriage contract was
worthless because his wife had NOS
been divorced. Questioned about the
letters written to Woods and intro
duction in the seduction suit Mrs.
Turnbull declared that the contents
were so doctorcd and there had been so
much perjury and bribery used against
her that she could not positively lden-
tify any of the letters so far shown hcr

"but the contents are doctored. The

"Did YOU ever write to any one re-

Indianapolis--At the convention
of the American Society Of Equity,
National President NJ i. Sharpe de,
clared that a strong effort would be
made to regulate on an equitable basis
the pricing and marketing Of farm
products.
One Of the first needs OF the so
ciety he said, was greater uniformity
in the methods Of handling the vari-
Gus products Of the farm. He said
we need more and better facilities
for handling crops, such as elevators,
warehouses, cold storage houses, pack
ing plants, and increased facilities for
buying comparatively a greater por-
ton Of the supplies needed on the
farm. We need these things so that
the farmer shall get more for what he
produces"
