ACCUSED
Grace Mitchell Is Filled With Re-
morse at Sight of Former Lover
In Court, Wasted and Crippled
With Disease.
Her Fervent Plea, Made To Justice
Stein on Bonded Knee, Wins Free
dom for o. F. Wright.

His frame emaciated by the ravages
OF rheumatism mis- cheeks blanched
by the effects OF three months impris-
onment In the house of correction,
Oliver F. Wright. OF Flint, was car
ried in an !nyalid's chair before Po-
lice Justice Stein, Monday morning
to answer a charge Of grand larceny
preferred by his former sweetheart
Grace Mitchell.
One look at Wright and the girl
complainant gave voice to soul-stir
ring scream. She rushed up TO the
bench and got down on her knees and
with her hands extended toward the
Judge, she pleaded for the liberty OF
the map against whom she brought
complaint.
MY God, Judge, please let that man
go!" she sobbed. Il can't prosecute
him now. and in the name OF mercy,
ask you not TO send him back to
that place"
Wright's aged mother and his young
sister had taken their places beside
the son and brother and the trio look
ed with wondering eyes at the wo-
man who knelt on the floor before
them.
Look at him, judge. just look at
him." cried the girl. Look how thin
he is. Three months ago. he was a
strong, healthy man. Now just look
at him.
Then she turned to Wright and
throwing both arms around him in a
passionate embrace, she drew his
wasted body close TO her and literally
rained kisses upon him.
1t all happened SO quickly that the
court or the officers had no time TO
interrupt the scene. Miss Mitchell
finally was led weeping from the court
room and the court Immediately told
Wright he was tree man. A couple
of deputies carried him from the room
and out upon the street. where he was
taken away In a taxicab.
Wright was sentenced to the House
of Correction three months ago from
Flint for q trifiing offense., He finish
ed his term, Monday morning. and was
brought Immediately to court the an
swer the charge preferred by Miss
Mitchell. She accused him of appro
priating a diamond ring that had
been her property. There was a Low.
er's quarrel and she said Wright kept
the ring and would not return 1t to
her.
When Wright went to serve his
Flint sentence, his relatives say he
was strong and healthy. Worry over
his disgrace and over his quarrel with
Miss Mitchell, together with the vicis
situdes of prison life broke his health
and when he got out Monday, he was
only shadow of his former self
Wright says he contracted rheuma-
tism soon after he started to serve his
term. He is a helpless cripple now,
unable to walk a step. II Is planned
to take him back to his home In Flint,
In the hope that he will recover.

PRESIDENT Diaz refused to announce
his intention OF retiring, but the H.
suance of the manifesto, last night, n
expected to remove the last obstacle
to the peaceful settlement OF the
revolution.
The revised draft OF the appeal to
the country was considered by the
cabinet and president today.
The president declared II to be the
purpose of the government to grant
the demand that neither the presi-
dent nor vice-president shall be re-
elected; also judicial reform and
the complete reorganization OF all the
states. Diaz insists that he has al
ways acted for the benefit OF the
whole people. He states that he has
recently counselled with many peo-
pie, including "all who have the real
interest Of our beloved country at
heart" and says that II has never
been his intention to interfere with
progress.
Without head, Diaz says, the gov
eminent would be unable to complete
normal conditions Of peace and an
archy would become rampant Be
cause OF this he has refused to fix
any date on which he will retire His
responsibility is to the nation, be
says, and because of this he simply
states that, when absolute order q
restored In the country he will retire
as its president.
The appeal warmly eulogizes the
army and concludes with a ferveni
appeal to all patriotic Mexicans tc
rally to the support of the govern
ment and aid in restoring order
throughout the country.
Members of the cabinet declared
today that Diaz has secured great
tactical advantage by the proclama
ton. They say he has shifted the 70
sponsibility to Madero and II the lat
ter bubbles over accepting the terms
OF the proclamation he will show that
the charges that his personal am.
bition caused the revolution are well

TWO COUNTIES
DECLARED WET
Supreme Court Decides That Geneses
and Calhoun Counties Voted for
License Forces.

LANSING, Mich. May SIN the
Genesee county case the supreme
court ruled today that the board OF
supervisors must accept the state
ments Of the election inspectors and
cannot recount the ballots. 1t is held
that the statue confers no authority
on the board to make such an investi-
cation. The vote In Genesee was a
majority OF 81 for the vets and the
court directs the board to reconvens
and declare the result in accordance
with these figures.
In the Calhoun county case the
court upholds the decision OF the cir
cult court that blank and rejected
votes were not to be considered In de-
termining the whole number OF votes
cast. The vote there was 25 in favor
OF the vets and this majority is held
sufficient
On the question as to whether SUM-
cient time had elapsed since the pre-
vious election, the court says that the
two years referred to in the statute
are political years and not calendar
years. Judge Hooker dissents from
the decision in both cases.

guilty and have had to prove their In
