where your wife is just now" +,
''I'll tell you the whole story" said
Garrison. 1T was this way. My
wife used to be just as much interes-
ed in missionary work as am my
self. She used to go with me to the
House of Correction and such places
to offer religious consolation to the
unfortunates therein confined.
well, one day she saw this Owen
D. Conn at the Jail. Conn was ac-
cused of burglary. But he was well
dressed, and soft spoken, and gentle
manly.
$50 my wife talked to him for
quite time, and the day after that
she went back there and talked to
him some more. -
Conn got out of jail here, and was
Immediately sent to Milwaukee,
where he was badly wanted by the
police. At Milwaukee, he broke jail
and was sent to the Wisconsin pen
itentiary at. Waupun.
while he was in Waupun he cor
responded with my wife. 1t was this
that made me suspicious that all was
not we'll 1 read one of his letters to
my wife. 1t breathed passionate love,
and talked about her kisses.
when Conn was released from
the Waupun penitentiary, he came di-
rectly to Chicago. That was shortly
before last Christmas.
%Conn called to see my wife. In
view Of the letter he had written her,
l did not wish my wife to see him, l
told her SO. But it made no differ
ence.
"Conn saw my wife. He saw her
several times, and one time, when l
objected to his seeing her, he drew
a revolver and told me to mind my
own business:
"Then last Christmas eve my wife
put our five children to bed. She

II did not see her again for long
time. Then it was she who came to
me to beg for a reconciliation. l
would not be reconciled with her. L
could remember too well this man
Conn, and how he had written about
her kisses.
II understand that Conn only took
my wife with him as far as Omaha
and there deserted her, leaving her
penniless. But do not know about
that, and :. =. it is not for me to
Judge my wife"
: This was the sum and total of the
minister's explanation of his wife's
desertion Of him for a society bur-
glar.
1t carried the general impression
that Conn was a sort of male SER
pent who hypnotized female birds
into doing anything that he>wished
them to do-from loving him to-
stealing for him.
The police went from the Rev. Mr..
Clarkson to Will T. Davies, warden
of the county jail.
Davies is gent with a full knowl-
edge of the value of newspaper pub
licity to anyone in politics. So he
rushed to back, up Clarkson.
"Conn always fascinated women"
he declared. ut came natural to
him. Mrs. Clarkson was not the
only one, although she was the one
he was most successful with.
"Mrs. Clarkson Is beautiful wo-
man. She is small, and very bright,
and has a beautiful complexion.
"But she was not the only one.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Feb. 20
The National Progressive convention
TO nominate spring officers went
Through without hitch, without 8
tight anywhere and in fact without
everything but enthusiasm. There
was plenty of this. Enough in fact
for two or three ordinary spring con
ventions.
The real feature, perhaps, was the
collection OF a campaign fund OF 81.
247.98 from individuals on the spot. II
this was a feature, then the way the
marty members dug down into their
wallets and gave freely and cheerfully
therefrom was the feature.
The national committee was recog
nized when David Hinshaw took the
platform to mention the fact that
money was needed He asked 500
subscriptions and 20 men came
through with that amount each, while
two county delegations pooled S10C
subscriptions, W. II. Hill OF Detroit

was worth just $500. The 500 men
were next tackled. then they dropped
TO $40,s $25. $40 and S. and then yolun-
teers passed the hat.
Former Governor Stubs, OF Kansas,
enliyened the convention proceedings
with q speech in which he mentioned
some or the yicissitudes or politics, de-
clafing that he had given mp rail-
road contracting business worth hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars because
he found that as legislator he could
either bow to the railroads or go out
OF business. He discussed national
conditions very briefly, and declared
that Democracy was no more united
than were the Progressiyes and the
str d-patters in the Republican party
