Because of the confession by Mrs. Darst

nearly three years, a new aspect has
been given the case that has surprised
attorneys for both sides and caused them
to stop preparations which were being

side plans to test the other in a suit
filed several months ago in the United

Mrs. Darst against Valentine Winters.
Mrs. Darst sued Winters for 10000 dam

fused to surrender the furniture to her.
According to Mrs. Darst, Winters re-
moved the furniture on March Is, last,
while she was incarcerated In a sana-

TO the Office of The Washington Herald

work those articles are doing in educat-

exist today.
George F. Bowerman, librarian az the
Public Library, is one of the most
earnest supporters Of the Macfarland ar
ticles. He said:
Il cannot discuss the articles in detail,
for have not been able to read them
as carefully as should have liked, but /
value them so highly that 1 have clipped
them and filed them away for thorough
study. 1 do know from what 1 have
read, however. that they are very
weighty, scholarly, and clear in their
treatment Of the subject, and that they
will do a great deal of good. There is
no doubt that ii is most desirable at this
time to give full discussion of the re-

Federal government. And I know from

While Mrs. Darst confessed her love

that her actions gave no cause for Mrs.
Winters to claim s25O,O0a damage be-

with Winters when he had been separated
from his wife for years. and after he
twice had sought divorce.
Mrs. Darst is confident that law will
not take from her the s250Oo0 which She
says represents all between her and pow
erty. She claims the money was given
her by Valentine Winters in traction
stock as proof OF his love for her after
she had shown her love by abandoning
family. friends, and position to elope
with him, and she declares no court Of
Justice will take the money from her
and give it to Mrs. Winters.
