virtually cooped up in Alden, near the
entrance to the Red Sea. which must

recital of her martial experiences was
continued to-day by Mrs. Elizabeth f..

against the charge that she hired two
men to murder her husband, DR.. C..

To-day she explained her relations
with the negroes, her alleged accom-

generous husband; otherwise a drug

loved him, she said, and remained

time restore her to her proper place
in his affections. She denied that she
wished him any harm, had ever
threatened him, or failed to love him.
