in a drunken rage, Battle Creek Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union

Not only did the old man run a
saloon, but was frequently arrested

more surprised than the w. G. T.

two houses, a vacant lot and feed
barn to the cause of temperance.

have already derived large monthly
income from it. In fact, it Is stated

Woman Killed Husband.

Leadville, COL, July 6.-Women
and sentiment won a victory yester-
day when the murder charge against
Assunta Capra, an Italian woman
who killed her husband here six
weeks ago, was dismissed in Judge
Cavender's court. The women of the
State had taken an interest in the
case to the extent of besieging Dis
trict Attorney Hogan with requests
that the woman be not prosecuted, as
they said she was justified in killing
her husband. Mrs. Capra is about to
become a mother.

Cornwell Acquitted.

Camden, July 7.-Brooks Corn
well, accused of murder for the kill
ing of Ado1ph Kelly, to-day was ac-
quilted after trial lasting two days.
The jury was out about rs minutes
before returning the verdict of not
guilty. The case has been hard
fought and has attracted more than
usual interest, partly no doubt be-
cause Kelly, the victim, lived for
about six weeks with his brain ex-
posed, his skull being broken by the
blow he sustained at Cornwell's
hands. The trial began yesterday
and the case was, given to the jury
this afternoon. !
The last Of the testimony was
taken this morning, and Solicitor
Cobb opened the argument with a
strong speech. When he finished M.
L. Smith made stirring plea for the
defense. Mr.. Smith laid great stress
on the fact that Cornwell was forced
in self-defense to strike Kelly as he
did. After Mr.. Smiths speech was
made recess was taken for dinner.
After dinner Geo. Johnstone spoke
for the prosecution. Mr.. Johnstone
spong long and forcibly.
Judge Aldrich then charged the
jury, telling them what constituted
self-defense and the right a man had
to protect his home, himself and his
family. He charged the jury that If
there was any doubt in their minds
they should bring in verdict of ac-
quittal.
The jury stayed out about 25 min
utes and brought in a verdict of not
guilty.
This is the second man of that
neighborhood to be acquitted of muir
der of a relative lately. Sam Kirk
land, a near relative of the defendant,
was recently acquitted of the murder
of his wife, and the defendant to-day
was accused of the murder of his
uncle. Another near relative, Will
Kirkland, is in Jail now awaiting trial
for killing his father. Larger crowds
were out to-day than heretofore.

Conducting Seal Investigation.

Washington, July GA scene sug-
gesting some that have occurred in

ed the proceeding to-day of the house

Prof. Henry w. Elliott, full seal ex-

ed each other before the committee,

fore the committee.
"You are self-confessed perjurer
YOURSELF retorted Commissioner

AS DEAD AS HE'D EVER BE.
Argument Induced Wife to Marry
Day After Husband Died.

A dispatch from Swainsboro, Ca,
says: Emanuel county, Georgia,
has residing in it's borders a couple
whose lugubrious courtship is with
out a parallel in the whole United
States. This couple is Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert S. Mcdaniel. Mrs. Mcdaniel
was the wife of J. J. Sewell, a prom
inent farmer of this county, three
DAYS before she became Mrs. McDan-
iel. and the circumstances surround
ing her unusual marriage are inter-
esting.
"Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Sewell owned
a nice little farm near Swainsboro.
Together they had bought, and by
thrift. economy and hard labor, had
paid the purchase price of the farm.
To them six children had been born,
and no happier household could be
found.
tMr. sewell, however, fell ill, and
his wife watched over him and nurs-
ed him with the loving care that a
faithful wife usually bestdws. On
Tuesday death removed her husband,
and on Wednesday she followed his
remains to the burying ground, clad
in the deepest habiliments of woe,
and saw her husbands body laid to
rest beside his first wife, She was
almost overcome with grief, and
would not be comforted until Mr..
Mcdaniel, young man and a friend
of her dead husband and herself,
spoke a few words to her. This
seemed to soothe her, and together
they left the cemetery.
''The next days (Thursday) they
appeared in Swainsboro and together
visited the ordinary's Office, where
Judge John R. Youman issued to
Robert S. Mcdaniel and Alice Sewell
a marriage license, she giving her
age as 81 and he putting his down as
26. A local magistrate was then
sought and they were married.
1t is said that when Mcdaniel ap-
preached Mrs. Sewell she declared
that life was not worth living since
she had lost her protector. Mcdaniel
asked her to live for his sake and
promised that he would love and pro-
tect her. To this she consented, but
Interposed some slight objection to
marrying so soon after her husbands
death. Mcdaniel was able to prove
to her satisfaction that her husband
was as dead as he would ever be, as
he expressed it, and the marriage re-
suited.
Mcdaniel is said to have moved
here from somewhere near Joplin,
Missouri

THE LECTURER

He had his victims safely packed
where they could not escape; his
throat was sore, his voice was crack
ed, his lungs were out of shape. He
started when the night was young and
wig-wagged with his jaws; and when
he broke a rib or lung, he didn't even
pause. The clocks doomed nine, in
accents dread, and still he whanged
away; and people wished that they
We're dead, and resting meath the clay.
He took drink, and drank again, and
for two seconds stopped; the village
clocks were striking ten, and still he
yawped and yawped. And people
swooned and others wept, yet, though
his voice was hoarse, the earnest, gift
led speaker kept his stern, remorse-
less course. Deep in his subject did
he delve. he emptled Wisdom's cup;
and when the clocks were striking
twelve, he just was warming up.
