WOMAN.

Testifies at coroner's Inquest.

Toledo, o., Aug. 4-For nine years
Mrs. Sarah Ackerman Wise lived as
the wife of 'Dr. Samuel Alderman"
and did not know that "Dr. Alderman"
was a woman.
Testifying at the inquest over the
body of "Dr. Alderman" this afternoon,
Mrs. Wise, now the wife of a carpen-
ter here and the mother of a fine
boy of one year, said:
81 married him in New York. T
lived with him as his wife for nine
years. l cannot yet believe it was a
woman l married"
A baby son in New York may have
been a contributing cause of the sui
eide of "Dr. Ackerman"
Fred Harms, city painter who
worked with 'Dr. Ackerman" when
the latter for a time worked at the
city filtration plant here, declared to-
day he believed Ackerman had a son.
Sammy carried a picture of the
child constantly, Harms said. He
wrote letters to New York and sent
money for the care of the child"

MOORE HAD BEEN OUT OF JAIL
ONLY A FEW HOURS WHEN
HIS VscTlMS's SON OPEN
ED FIRE.

In an attempt to avenge his fathers
death, Ben Bramlitt, colored, shot
Will Moore, colored, shortly before six
o'clock Wednesday evening, inflicting
severe flesh wounds.
Some time ago Moore shot Rev.
Bramlitt, colored, near the tent in
which meetings were being held on
Wabash avenue, and the pastor died
later from the effects of these wounds.
Moore was arrested, given a prelimi-
nary hearing and held for district
court,
Yesterday morning his attorney, F.
L. Martin, arranged his bond and Sc
cured Judge Sargent's approval. Moore
was released from the county Jail at
IL o'clock. A little while after he was
released young Bramlitt met Moores
wife on the street and inquired if
Moore was at liberty.
They met somewhere in the 900
block on Eighteenth street, just before
six O'Clock, and Bramlitt began shoot
ing. 1t is generally thought that he
fired three shots, though some say
that five were fired One tore through
the flesh of Moore's hips, making a
nasty wound.
Bramlit escaped and all efforts to
locate him failed. An attempt was
made at the, preliminary hearing to
show that the younger Bramlit fired
the shots that struck his father and
the testimony tended to show that he
had a gun.
The father, Rev. Joseph Bramlit,
had been pastor of st. Mary's Bap-
tist church for some time and was re-
spected among his people in this city.
This shooting was the outcropping
of fued that has existed in the
church and has caused much trouble
in the past.-Wichita. Eagle.

Mr. Nelson c. Crews: For two or
three years l have been reading The
Kansas City Sun; it has become a
real companion and it is eagerly
looked for each week l have not as
yet missed a copy. l do not know
when my subscription expires but !
do know that every renewal of ones
subscription establishes the Sun
more permanently as "a Champion of
truth and righteousness. l am en-
closing money order for $3.50 for a
renewal. My regards to Betty &
Sam" and say to them for me to keep
on telling us what they say" l have
been recommended by my Command
ing Officer and intermediate Com
manders to be advanced to the grade
of Major for exceptional efficiency to
fill a vacancy. There are about %
who are eligible and therefore l am
not overly sanguine; but whether we
get it or not | have the distinction of
having been recommended for promo
ton and that means a great deal to
me and the race.
Fraternally,
G. w. PRIOLEAU,
Chaplain 25th Infantry.
