tended to make gain out of this de
PENDANT; they intended TO bring this
charge against him and force him to
make money settlement in order to
hush this matter up, and it is admit
ted that efforts of that kind were
made by different members of the
family. A brother-in-law of the fe-
male in question, the sister of the
female in question, and the mother
of the female in question all talked
to him about money settlement, And
the intimation was If that could be
made the matter would be adjusted
all around.
1.-The female in question and her
family We're very poor people, in very
reduced circumstances, twelve in
number. They slept in two rooms;
she had a brother-in-law there who
had son about her age, and about
the time of this conception on her
part this boy ran away. 1t was
shown that there were numerous OPP
portunitles for other men and boys
of the same race as that of the fe-
male in question, and this defendant,
to- have committed this offense, and
the improbabilities that the plaintiff
in error committed this offense, we
think, on the face of the testimony
very great. No charge was made
against this man until six months af-
ter pregnancy, circumstance, we
think, entitled to considerable weight.
The testimony of the female in
question as to the facts constituting
the first carnal knowledge of her by
this defendant is very unsatisfactory.
She relates these facts and it devel-
cps that it occurred in a populous
part of the city of Nashville. and
that she made no cutlery and no re-
sistence, that might be called resis-
lance, no effort to escape, and it does
not appear at all that she was in any
fear of personal violence, or that she
! desiSted from so doing on, this ac-
count. 1t further appears in the evil
I dence that she had. been guilty of the
otfense of having sexual intercourse
With another man other than this de-
PENDANT prior to the time Of her
charge against him. That appears
by the testimony of a witness some
what malodorous, but still it appears
in the evidence, and other facts and
circumstances which We gather, and
which appear in this record, lead us
to the conclusion that she was in all
probability an unchaste person before
the date when she alleges this defend.
qnt had carnal knowledge of her.
Nov upon all these facts we think
that this jury should have found this
defendant not guilty, and we feel that
this statute, while it's policy>is good,
is one which is susceptible of being
made an instrument of great injustice
by conspiracy on the part of the
girl and her family. And we feel
that the courts ought not to lend
themselves to that kind Of effect or
operation of the statute. The statute
is intended to protect chastity, but it
/ is not intended that it should be
made an instrument in the hands of
unchaste females or other designing
members of the family to Cypress in
nocent men, and we believe that this
man is innocent, and therefore the
! Judgment of the court below will be
reversed and this defendant dis
charged"

SAY NEGRO EXTORTED
FORTUNE FROM WIDOW
Mrs. Mcfarland Paid Thousands of
Dollars and Lived in Fear Till She
Had Him Held

shington-Charging her former
coachman, William H. Cook, a negro,
with having extorted large sums of
money from her by malicious black
mail Mrs Rose T. Mcfarland, a
wealthy widow, caused his arrest
Thirty dollars was found on him, be-
ing part of the $50 he obtained from
Mrs. Mcfarland Monday last, he ad-
mitted to the police.
Besides being charged with obtain
ing a small fortune from the attrac-
tive widow, who is about forty years
Old, Cook, the police say, has threat
ened at times to kill her on one oc-
casion, they aver the negro drew
razor from his pocket on her refusal
to give him money and threatened to
cut her throat.
Mrs. Mcfarland, the police con-
tinue, has been in constant fear.
While strict secrecy is maintained,
thousands of dollars, it is declared,
have been obtained from her by the
negro during the past five years. At
one time, it is said, Mrs. Mcfarland
gave him $500 rather than cause his
arrest.
Mrs, Mcfarland, so far as could be
learned, has been living in Washing
ton little more than five years. She
is frequently seen in the fashionable
cafes and hotels in company with
prominent clubmen, and is regarded
as a handsome and attractive wo-
man. Friends refused last night to
say anything regarding who she is and
