Wksnisoron, April ltd—Judge Jere M.
Wilson w'ns compliment-ed; today by the
presence of a large audience of his col-

' leagues ofthc legal profession and of mem-

bers of congress to hear his reply to the
attacks of Colonel Phil Thompson upon
his client and the eloquent appeal of M8.-
jor Ben Butterworth.

Mr. W'ilson’s voice was low and impress-
ivc as hetold the jury that it was his
duty-.Ito reply to all the defendant had
said as a. witness and through his counsel.
A start-ling thing had been urged on his
behalf—viz, that ,this case, with all its
revelations, should not have been brought.

“He thinks,” begun the attorney,
“speaking through them, that this case
never should have been brought; that it
is spreading pollution through the coun‘
try, and I do not wonder. I am sorry that
my friend, Ben Butterworth, is not here.

He has said that we are to blame for

spreading this pollution through this
country. If what this defendant has con-
fessed on the stand be true, it is possible
that such things are not to be redressed.
Is it possible that in the sunlight of our
civilization there is no redress? You can.
not tie a millstone around his neck and
sink him in the sea for the fishes to feed
upon him. You cannot shut him in a cage
and double lock it to keep him from pol
luting the women of the country. . You
cannot do that, but you can secure the re-
dress that the laws of the land have pro-
vided.

“Major Butterworth had spoken of the re-
vulsion of feeling abroad against this case,
but he had forgotten that in Great Brit-
ain, when such things became a stench in
the Anglo—Saxon nostrils, peers and nobles
had had their black skeletons dragged from
closets and had been condemned, had been
banished. Aye, bright stars, as had been
said, had been dragged from the firms-
mcnr.

Proud to Condcmn Such Conduct.

“ Iven if this were the first case,” thun-
dered Mr. \Vilson, “I would be proud 01
my part in condemning such conduct. My
friend Carlisle and I take this responsi-
bility, and we take it willingly, even
proudly. I- ' suppose my friend Butter-
worth would say that if the third count in
this indictment be true he would banish

JUDGE WILSON.
the woman and send the man to congress
I stand here for a higher womanhood. 1
stand here to demand the same standard
from woman and man. I stand against
such sentiments as this defendant has ut
tered—that such bascncss injures the man
but destroys the woman.

“\V'ould the jury say that this defendant
was to be admitted to their parlors and
the outer gates locked and barred against
the woman? It had pleased Mr. Butter:
worth to declaim pyrotechnically that the
womanhood of the land was arrayed in be
half of the defendant. No, a thousand
times no. He had said that the country
girls of the country did not need chape
robes, and he (Mr. \Vilson) had expected
to hear it said that gray haired men of 4’:
need bodyguards.”

Here Mr. \Vilson produced a. sheet of let
ter paper and said that he could imaging
the mothers of the land sitting up writing

’ such letters as the imaginary one he would

read. Of course it was simply imaginary
he said. but every one could see the femi
nine handwriting as the judge held it up
and every one knew that it was one letth
from the correspondence he has rcceiveo
during the trial. It was in part as follows

“Plead for the dear young girls. I can
not but feel how urgent it is for every one
to watch and pray for them constantly. ]
was left in the world young to care f0]
myself, and I can remember how men have
tried to rob me of all that was worth liv
ing for. I have lived a pure life becausr
I early took the Lord for my guide, and ii
I had not clung close to him the wa)
would have-been very hard.”

Thom pson’s Remarkable Argument.

Mr. Wilson said that the jury had heard
a most remarkable argument from one 01
the defendant’s chosen friends, Colonc.
Phil Thompson. It was in substance that
as all men were bad, that as all men were
laying snares, why should the defendant
be condemned? lie was no worse than the
rest. Solomon and David had been held
up as parallels of the defendant. It had
been said that David was a man of great
education. He may not have practiced
law all his life, but he had been educated
in the best schools of his land. Hchnd a
silvery tongue, he was 5. man of passion,
but Israel haul come from his loins, and
he had not been condemned, and therefore
why should the defendant be condemned?

One story had been overlooked in his
Biblical rcscarchcs. ’l‘hntwas the story of
Tamar, w 10 was a country. girl, and 0]
Aminou. who was a man of passion. That

 

episoue nan ended in a tragedy. There
were no juries in those days. But since
then the Prince of Peace hadlcome. There
were methods of peace and juries provided,
and those methods were being followed by
the plaintiff. But when juries failed to do
their duty more violent methods ware re
sorted to by outraged people—the first old
barbarous methods.

Colonel Thompson had been outspoken,
had been blunt, but reduced to the final
analysis his argument had been identical
with that of Mr. Buttcrworth, only the
second was veneered with the polish which
the first lacked.

There were some things which showed
me character or the defendant in this suit,

and Mr; VVilson spoke of the high charac-
ter of Mrs. Blackburn and of how Colonel
Thompson had slurred her. He next re
ferred to the fiings of Colonel Thompson
at the female doctors.

' A Compliment For Women.

There had been a time when women
were merely the drudges "of men, but they
were fast working to the front. and the
higher they came the better for the world,
If there was any sphere which fitted them,-
it was the profession of which Mrs. Mary
Parsons was nu ornament. “There was a
time when the father of my friend Butteru
worth—a venerated and lovable man—had
been one of a little band which thought a
certain institution in this country was con-
trary to the laws of ng. But," added
Mr. \Vilson, “that little band stood stead-
fastly spreading a sentiment which kin
died a great. cause and grew until there
was no place in this land for a slave. So
it would be with the cause of woman in
this land.”

It had been said that the woman in this
case was a bawd, a. wanton and a woman
of the town, but~he promisedto show the
jury before he finished that whatever this
woman is the defendant was responsible
for her and for the life she had led. Mr.
Butterworth had spent seven hours arguing
that the woman, who he said was :20 years
old, had seduced the 47—year-old defend-
ant; that she had dragged him from his.
family. his wife, his home, to the verge of
this awful precipice. If it was not so sc-
sious, it would be ludicrous. How could
that defendant sit and listen to an argu-
ment which, if it were true, made him a
craven and a coward? Major Butterworth
had dramatically pictured his client as u

star—not a. twinkling little star—but its

planet of the first magnitude, and had said
this woman had reached up and plucked
him from the heavens—in other words, she
had seduced him.

Then Mr. Butterwortb had pictured that
beautiful home but four blocks from Sarah
Guest’s. \Vould that he could in justice
to his client pass over the names which
might be injured by this case, but the us
cessity of speaking of them had been
forced upon him by the other side. Mr
Buttcrworth had paid tribute to that love

---ly wife, thosc'~li-.e'iutifu‘l “daughters; those"

noble sons. All honor to them. But it
had been said that that woman sitting in
the but of Sarah Guest forgot that wife,
those daughters, those sons, and charm
ing that gray haired man away from them
had made desolate that home, the old
story of the garden of Eden, what Adam
had said when hauled up before the King
of Kings, and, exclaimed Mr. Vv'ilson, “tc
the honor of human nature be it said,
Adam had been a man of bad repute from
that hour and would be to the end of time."
Laughing at Buttcrworth.

After putting the spurs to Pegasus seven
hours up among the clouds until the steed
was all afoam Mr. Buttcrworth had said
he would come down to tell the jury what
the case was, and then he had remarked
that it was about time for a recess, had
gone out and meditated. had come back
and had given not five minutes to telling
what was the case and what was the dc-
fense to it. 3.1 r. Butterworth had con-

‘ cluded that there was a muddy bottom to

it, and that he had better stand on the
bank and shoot off firecrackers.

Before he (Judge \Vilsou) had ended his
task he hoped to show but- one thing—that
this woman, standing alone, friendlcss,
with all this world and its beauty as a des-
ert waste before her, stood thus through
the machinations of the defendant. The
case was one for a breach of promise 01
marriage, such a case as was. being daily
brought into the courts of the country,
and rightly brought. The defend ant replied
to it with what was a general denial that
such a contract existed and claiming the
right to prove whatever he could detri
mental to the character of the plaintiff.

The plaintiff, it had been argued, wa
an interested party. So was the defendant
Her testimony was entitled to as much
weight as his concerning that day in Au-
gust, 1892, when she said that he met her
in a carriage and proposed marriage. Thai
meeting was probable, for all the testi
mony in that case had gone to show that
wherever Madeline went that ‘lamb was
sure to go.

Mr. Wilson want on to analyze the evi

 

deuce regarding the marriage contract, '

and there was a slight clash when he as-
serted that the colonel had taken Miss Pol-
lard from the house of Mrs. Thomas to vis-
it his Kentucky friends. At this state
ment the heads of the Breckinridge con-
tingent began to shake in negation.

“If there is to be any shaking of head: "

over this,” said Mr. \Vilson, “I will cal.
your attention to the testimony of Mr
Francis and will remind you that when ‘]
asked the defendant about it he did not
dcn y it, ”

Brcckinridgc Has a Hay.

“Oh, but ldid deny it." spoke up the
defendant, and his counsel sccondml him.
Thercupon Judge Bradley rapped with his
pencil on the dusk, saving, " l I" thcrc is any
correction to he made here. it should be
made by counsel.”

“Then I withdraw it all. i don't care a
snap about jt,”.said Mr. \Yilson, mistak-
ing the intention of the judge.

“I rcfcrrcd lo the correction by Mr.
Breckinridgc,” the court explained. .

Mr. Brcckinridgc leaned forward and
inquired, “Docs your honor say that I‘can-
not correct errors?"

“You are represented by counsel, whose
duty it is to do that,” responded the judge.

“But it is my constitutional right to
represent myself,” protested the defend
ant. “Does your honor rule on that?”

Judge Bradley kept on writing and made
no response. ' '

four times a any with flowers, the attor-
ney passed on to a review of Mrs. Black-
burn’s Itestimony and then discussed the
secret marriage.

He thopght that the defendant had in-
tended to set up that marriage as a bar to
any possible contract thereafter, but unfor-
tunately for them the law was against
them. for not only did the secret marriage
constitute a. breach of the contract in it-
self, but it was no defense against the
promises made thereafter. It was peculiar
that the certificate of marriage, which had
been withheld from record at the request
of the defendant, had also been filed at a
particular point in the case at the dc
fendant’s request.

Describing the two scenes in the office of
Major Moore when the colonel sat beside
the plaintiff on thesofa, Mr. \Vilson re-
marked, “VVhere he ought to be today,
gentlemen-he ought to be her guardian,
rather than her defamer.” If that state.
ment before Major Moore had been made
in the state of New York or in many juris-
dictions, it would have made .the woman
the defendant‘s legal wife, and had anoth-
er marriage a few days before been proved
he would have been guilty of an offense
ghich would have put him behind barred

oors.

The Situation Critical.

Pirrsnunc, April ill—Tho dispatches
from the coke country today are conflict-
ing. The situation in the southern-end of
the region is said to be critical, while in
the northern district the works are gen.
orally in operation. Nothing is known
here of the call from Dunbar for troops.

Chairman Frick and Secretary Lovcjoy
of the Frick Coke company have received
no information that would indicate the
necessity of calling on the troops.

A dispatch from Harrisburg says the
situation in Connellsville coke region is
becoming more serious daily, and unless
the hostility of the strikers toward the
workingmen ceases the state authorities
will take a hand in the suppression of the
belligerents. A message was received at
the executive department from L. 8:. R.
VVist-cr &- Co. of Dunbar, owners of the
Dunbar furnace, stating that the situation
justifies the governor in calling out the
troops.

The firm complains that their men are
willing to work, but- that they are intimi.
dated and obstructed by the strikers, and
many of them remain away from the fur-
naces. The message was received by Pri-
vate Secretary ’l‘ntc, and he. refused to
make it public. llc would give no further
information. when seen 1han the bare facts
just given. ' " ' '

Tate has advised the company that Gov-
ernor I’attison is in Pittsburg toda and
suggested that the members see him per—
sonally. ”TllL‘l'C is. nothing at the udjutant
general‘s department to indicate that the
troops will be called out. General Green-
land is out of the city; and Captain Kelley,
the chief clcrk, claims to have received no
information from the coke region further
than the message from the Dunbar com-
pany.

This is the first call for the troops which
has been rcCcivcd by the governor since
the trouble originated. l‘rivalc Secretary
Tate intimates that the executive will not
call out the stale guard unless the sheriff
of Fayette county notii‘u s him that he has
exhausted his power.

THE NEWS FROM Utiosrown

Deputies Drive Strikers Away From Cool
Spring—Tho Men Then Marched To-
I ward Fair Chance—A Request Made
For Troopsttlxer News.

UNIONTOWN, Pa, April lie-{The south-
ern section of the cokefields has been the

tween 400 and 500 armed men have. been
marching through the region surrounding
the town since daylight. The excitement
has been at high water mark, and the
towers and steeples have been black with
people, who, with glasses, have been
watching the actions of the mob. An out-
break has been hourly expected, and all
that has preventcdit has been the fact that
the strikers have not interfered with work-

mcn.

At daylight today the strikers from
Wheeler and Morrell, Oliver and the works
south of town assembled at Cool Spring,
about a half mile east of town, where plans
were made for a raid on the workmen near
here. Shortly after daylight they started
400 strong and marched to Leinont, No. l,
where Deputy Sheriff Richards and a posse
of men are in charge. .

They did not go near the; works, but
went to the company houses and tried to
prevent the men going to work. The dep-
uties made a. charge on then with drawn
guns and chased them away. The men
went to work. They marched to the
plants south of town, going to the extreme
south end of the region. Delegations
joined them all along the line, and when
the mob passed cast of here there were
1,000 men in line.

- Marclicd Like an Army.

They had banners flying and were
marching to martial music. Nearly all
were armed with clubs and guns. On the
march they passed no plants, but kept on
toward Fair ChanCe, where they are to
begin the raiding of all plants in the sec-
tion, coming from that point north. The
mob is now composed of men from all the
plants in the lower regions and is deter
mined to make a stand.

Early today Sheriff “'ilhelm got word
of the proposed raid and sent 25 deputies
to the Leiih, Brownfield“ and Oliphant
plants. lic has since been swearing the
men in and sending them out a dozen at a
time. A posse of :35 deputies from Con~
ncllsvillc came up on the Pennsylvania
railroad train and were sent to Fair
Chance to meet the strikers when they
reach that pomt.

All the plants are under heavy guard,
and while the workmen have nearly all
left the yards for fear of trouble the dcpu~
ties will protect the property of the com-
pany. Tho strikers have shown more dc-
tcrmination today than at any time since
the killing of Paddock.

Thomas Flynn, one of the leaders, was
arrested in Scottdulc and juilcd here to-
day for complicity in the murder of Pad-
dock. .‘dikc llrabcl was also arrested at
Youngstown for inciting to riot and placed
in jail. Constables Chick and Collins ut-
tcmptcd to arrest a Iluu at Oliver, but
were assaulted bya gang of l-lungariau
women. who rescued the prisoner and
drove the oflicers from the ground.

There is not the slightest stir in the
northern end of the region today. The
mobs which marched around through the
Leisinring districts yesterday went back
to Morrell and dispersed.

Kitchen Departm’t

Just a. word or two about this
department ; Many wonder how it
is we sell this sort of ware so cheap
and the remark has often been heard,
4 Well there must be something
wrong.” The story is simply this——
Instead of using our basement as a
store house for old lumber, etc, we
have made it a practical department
at little or no cost, buying close for
cash and selling for cash. That’s
how we do it.
