The charges against L. .. Wenden-

tiOn, entered his order.
II do not wish TO hear any argu-
ment." he said. There is nothing to
sustain the charges, and the case is

large crowd had gathered in the
court room expecting TO hear a heat
ed, possibly a bitter argument and
seemed slow TO realize that the case
was over.
Mr.. Wendenburg was the chief wit
ness of the afternoon session. and his
testimony furnished its chief inter
est.
In answering Mr.. Fulton he explain
ed that he had seen John G. Tyler in
Baltimore as any lawyer would have
done in the interest of his client. He
said that was told by Pannill that
improper relations had existed be-
tween Tyler and Mrs. Tenney-that
Tyler had been seen coming from the

Tyler and Mrs. Tenney had wined and
dined together, and that Mrs. Tenney
had paid the bills. Pannill, he said,
had been told these things by others,
and to find if they were true he saw
Tyler. Tyler, after a long CONVERSE
ton. said he must first see Mrs. Ten
ney, and Mr. Wendenburg gave him

purpose. Later. informed him that
he would not give the affidavit.
Mr. Wendenourg said he had remind
ed Mr.. Tyler that Mr.. Tenney would
not allow his daughters name to be

verse was suggested was outrageous.
This practically ended the case.

moned.

Plumed, glittering and brilliant

A pretty incident marked the mo-

The scene was affecting and brought
tears to the eyes OF many. Proud old
Mrs. Swope swept majestically from
the court room to her waiting auto
mobile and was taken home.
When court opened today and the
doors were thrown open there was a
rush of would-be spectators that car
ried the guards off their feet. The fact
that DR.. Hyde had been placed under
restraint acted as the magnet.
Heretofore the spectators have seen
the physician enter the court room
with his wife.
Today, pale, sad and nervous-look-
ing, he entered the court room
through the prisoners entrance and
walked between two Jail guards. He
glanced at the chairs at the side OF
the prisoners table-but his wife was
not there.
What has happened?" he asked
nervously.
"Oh. l guess she is a little late"

MARRIAGE OF MISS CRUBB.
Particulars Of a Wedding Referred to
Last Week.

Under the caption IAN II1fnsually
Quiet wedding" the NEWS briefly
mentioned the fact nat Miss Ethel
Grub. Of Prosperity, had married
Mr.. W. H. Hdlton. of Trinity. Lewis
county. JSdging from later account
Of the Welding it is not difficult to
see how it could have been other
wise than quiet
\ The bride, who is one of the best
and most deserving young women
whom it is our good fortune to
know, had planned to be married
at home on April IA. With her
ample means and good taste this,
the browning event in woman's
life, would have been made worthy
of the girl and the occasion. So,
when the mother of the groom was
stricken with fatal illness, and
Miss Ethel was asked to give up
her home wedding and go toy Mr..
Holton's home and be married on
the 5th of April, our lady readers
at least can imagine what 1t cost
her to consent.
i She did consent, however, and i'm
mediately started for Maysyille. On
her way she received a telegram
asking her to get off the train at
Manchester, which she did, When
she arrived at her husbands home
she found that Mrs. Holton had
died on Sunday and the funeral
would take place in few hours.
AS they were to have been married
that day Miss Ethel yielded to the
request of the family that she
should go to. their home and have
the marriage ceremony performed
and 60 with them to the funeral.
They we're married by the Rev. A,
D. McMurray, of Lexington, KY, in
the presence OF her uncle and aunt,
DR.. ]. c. Graham and wife, and
the father and sisters Of the groom,
The groom is the son of W. ]. Hol-
| ton, a well-to-do farmer. He is him
self farmer and breeder OF short
horn cattle.
The circumstances placed Miss
Ethel in a very peculiar situation,
as all will understand, but through
out the rather trying ordeal she
acted bravely and well, doing what
! any true woman similarly placed
would have done. She takes with
her to her new home and new life
the kindest wishes Of the NEWS
and her hundreds Of friends on the
