MRS, OLSON READY
TODEFEND HUSBAND
Wife of Professor Accused Of
Murder Expected to Unfold
Domestic Tragedy.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April AIRS. Oscar
Olson, wife of the university professor
now on trial for the murder of Clyde
Darling, laundryman. was ready to take
the stand today in a desperate attempt
to save the man whose name she bears
from q felon's cell.
She was expected to unfold story
of Illicit love, threats. and her attempts
to break off her relations with the dead
man. The attorneys for the defense
were anxious to get her on the stand
early, as she is fast breaking under the
strain and they fear she may become
i'll before her story is told.
On the stand yesterday Olson told Of
his wife sending a telegram bringing
him home from a lecture trip and her
meeting him at the door with the laugh
ing demand:
Don't i look pretty?''
This was IN November. Ten minutes
after the greeting she had fallen to her
knees and told her story. She told OF
Darling's alleged threats AGAINST Eer
husbands life. and begged him to pro-
tect himself and her. Olson also de-
clared he had received threatening let
ters from Darling. He described the
shooting in detail, and even acted out
the tragedy before the jury.

The standard adds: Another fact OF

BOARD OF AFFAIRS
View Lot at Baltimore and ohio sta
ton and May Put in Sewer and
viii Then be Terraced.

The board of affairs was out last
night on tour of Inspection. They
went to High street and considered
the matter of grade for several pave
ments along that street Several
other places were visited but no spe-
cific action was taken.
Some time since the Bpltimere and
Ohio road in answer to'a communiea-
ton. stated that If the city would put
a sewer GU East Martin street along
their property in order that the wa
ter would be carried off, the com
pany would remove the bill boards on
their ground opposite the station and
would terrace and sod the bank and
fix it up so that it would be made
more presentable. The board last
evening looked over this ground and
asked the city engineer to make an
inspection of the property and see
what would be the necessary work
and the cost OF putting in a sewer at
that place so that advantage might
be taken OF the proposition OF the
company.
1t is just possible that the city Will
put in the sewer and that before the
summer is over more presentable
sight will greet the incomein pas
