The Testimony Ended—Sensational as Well as Ludicrous Incidents in the Case. Chicago, Ill., January 29.—The trial of Mrs. Rawson for shooting the lawyer of her millionaire hus- band for assailing her character, end- ed yesterday afternoon, as far as the hearing of the testimony is concern- \ed. The feature of the day was the lu- | dicrous trap into which fell one of the noted experts who was put on the stand to show that she was not J. G. notable, tu. j 4 ats vuther sensational bear- keauce of which sent 1? e iG cals slayer to the insane. ‘Pbe victim was Dr. K iis testimony : 4} my Ou lie ¢ Aivs. Rawson's lawyer, att usked the witness {uot testy at the Guiteau tiie risoner Was did. id the lawyer, “Guiteau was hanged?” “Yes, but the experts who swore that he was sane perjured themselves They gave testimony contrary to their own writings. I want to say too, that several of them have since j been dismissed from the institution which they controlled, for misman- agement. These so-called doctors, medical politicians, who testified for the prosecution in the case were paid by the government, while the ex perts for he defense were dragged to Washington by the government and got nothing.” After this outbreak on the Guiteau case Mr. Crews picked up a book which he said was ‘‘Ray’s Medical Jurisprudence.” “Now, Doctor,” he said in a bland way, “I want to read you two cases which I read to the experts who tes- tified before you. They are as fol- lows: K. J., a woman aged 40 years; cause of attack, great domestic trou- bie. She was a woman of quick ac- tion, strong mind and known among that class of women as strong mind- ed. The physician in charge of the hospital was asked how a woman of such a mind could become insane, and replied, ‘she could not bend, hence she broke.’ A. J.,a woman of very active, strong mind, and of a highly nervous and excitable tem- perament. This cause, like the pre- vious one, was the result of domes- tic difficulties of a trying character, which had mortified her greatly. She had showed suicidal tendencies, but her friends had supposed these were overcome. She had shown great excitement at times, followed by great prostration. The excite- ment was aroused on the mention of the name of a woman whom she sup- posed her husband to have been in- timate with. She became incurably insane.” Dr. Kiernan thought the lawyer was reading from the book, but those who were sitting behind Mr. Crews saw that he had two sheets of manu- script, closely written, inside the volume. “That first case you read,” said the expert witness, “I remember yery well. I have read it, but that was a chronic case of hysterical in- sanity.” “Took here, doctor,” said Crews, taking the two sheets of paper out of the book and handing them tothe witness, “these cases are not in the book, nor in any book, I made them up myself.” The doctor’s face became very red when he saw what a trap he had walked into. “They are very similar, Mr. Crews,” he said, “‘to many cases in the books in their general features.” Mr. Crews said he had based his | fictitious cases on Mrs. Rawson's his- | tory and symptoms. The doctor was allowed to depart, while Mrs. Rawson lay back in her chair and laughed until the tears ran down her checks.

New York, Jan. 30.—John A Bell, | aconductor on the Jersey City and | Bergen horse railroad, was arrested in Hoboken to-day, accused of as- | saulting his wife. Mrs. Bell appear- ;ed in Justice Seymour's court with |a 14-year-old son of Bell by his first _wife, who was supposed to be dead. | Bell was committed to jail and Mrs. | Bell and the boy started home on the North Hudson elevated railroad. When the train on which they rode _was half way up the hill, the boy, who was sitting by his stepmother jin the front part of the car said to her as he pointed to a woman dress- ed in deep mourning sitting a few | seats behind him: | “Mamma, that looks like my first | mamma.” | He spoke loud enough for the woman in mourning to hear. She looked at the boy for a moment and then sprang from her seat and clasp- ed him in her arms. Mrs. Bell ob- jected, and the woman in mourning \ said: ; “I am the boy’s mother.” Mrs. Bell replied that the child's mother was dead and she was his step-mother. { | The woman in mourning said she had married Bellin Jersey City in 1871. She lived with her husband until 1877, she said. One day she went out shopping, and when she returned she found a note on a table in the parlor signed by her husband to the effect that he was tired of liv- ing and that he was goirg to kill himself and their boy. She never heard of either her husband or child afterwards, and she supposed they were dead until she saw the boy on the train. When the woman finished her story Mrs. Bell said that in 1880 she was Miss Mary Romer and that she lived with her parents in West Hob oken. She married Bell in 1880 and had lived wit him until he pounded her for accusing him of infidelity. The two Mrs. Bell are now living at the home of the second Mrs. Bell in Marion, N. J. They will unite in prosecuting the bigamist. Base Misrepresentation. West Plains, Kans. Jan. 30.— A base misrepresentation of destitu- tion in Southwestern Kansas appear- ed last Saturday in the Kansas City Journal and other papers. No cause can be assigned for the publication of the falsehoods unless it be an at- tempt of certain parties to profit by the charity of the people of other States. An article appealing for assistance bears the signature of Mrs. Jas. K. Richards. Mrs. Richards lives eight miles from west Plains with her husband and family and is considered to bein good financial condition. They raised fair crops last season, have good teams, 25 head of cattle, a good house and barns and other improvements, They have been selling corn here in town and are living well and independently. There are of course poor people in Seward county, but the county is abundantly able to take care of them. The winter has been very mild, and the people generally are in good condition. People who would not be imposed upon are cau- tioned against sending charity to western Kansas, unless they know the appeal to come from reliable jauthentic sources. The Reason Why. Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow; it strayed away one summer day, where lambs should not go. Then Mary sat her down and tears streimed from her pretty eyes; she never found the lamb because she did not advertise. And Mary had a brother John, who kept a village store, he sat him down and smoked his pipe and watched | the open door. And as the people | passed along but did not stop to | buy, John still sat and smoked his pipe and blinked his sleepy eye. And so the sheriff closed him out but still he Hngered near; and Mary | came to drop with him a sympathiz- ling tear. “How is it, sister, thet these other merchants here. sell all the goods and pay their bills aud | thrive from year to year?” Remem- bering now her own hard luck the i little maid “These other replies: A BELLE’S PERPLENITIES A Young Lady Forced to make a Choice Between Two Riya! Lovers Sturgeon, Mo. Jan. 25—Society } in this town has been stirred from center to circumference for the past week over the contest ot two young men for the hand of the same belle. The lady in question was Miss Net- tie White, daughter of B. F. White of the tirm of Truby & White millers of this place. She is barely 18 years old, with a pretty face and figure and winsome ways. Among her many suitors was Lee Winn, son of W.H. Winn a prominent stock trader of this place, and Charlie Winn a mem- ber of the firm of Coombs & Winn wagon and carriage manufacturers alsoof this place. Both are in the prime of manhood, iudustrious, sober good looking, well-to-do and calcula. ted to make a husband of which any woman might justly be proud. For several months past both of the young men have been paying their undivided attention to Miss White. She appeared to be very fond of both of them and the gossips began to discuss their chances of suc- At last it became known that she was engaged to marry Lee Winn the ceremony to be performed Feb- ruary 14. They had even gone so far as to select bridemaids and grooms When Charley Winn heard this he was loth to believe it, as the young lady had lead him to expect that he was to be the lucky man Lee and Charley met and hada talk over the matter, and it is said that they made a wager of $50 as to which one would get the girl. At any rate the report of this wa- ger set the whole town to talking; agreat rivalry sprung up between the friends of the two gentlemenand set the town by the ears, and a large number of bets were made on the outcome. Nearly every man who ever was known to bet on the elee tion or a horserace backed his favor- ite. The friends of each spurred their choice to action, and, notwith- standing that neither one had expect- ed or intended to marry until some time in Febuary, the excitement grew so high as to demand prompt action and the young men each began to press the girl for an immediate decis- ion as between them. One or the other was at her house all the time and often they were thera together and when neither was there some officious friends were present. It is even said that the father and mother were divided as to their choice of the young men. In view of all this, and being annoy- ed and harrassed as she was, the girl found it a hard matter to make up her mind. For three or four days her decision hungin the balance,and the young men were on the ragged edge of expectancy so to speak. This ran on till the excitement got so high that at nightfall the yard at Mr. White's residence would be crowded with eager listeners and eavedroppers, while older heads were called in to try and settle the matter. On Wednesday evening after two or three days of restless parleying, the two young men met then in the presence. of mutual friends for a final decision of their fate. They stood in the parlor with locked arms, while the young lady was asked then and there to make her final choice, each agreeing to abide the result. Again she hesita- ted. It was at last agreed that the young men should both start home and that the one she called back was to be her husband. They started but Miss White called for “Lee” and he turned and came back. Then “Charley” was called and he too came back. But when they both re-entered the house she again hesi- tated. Then she was told by those present that she must settle the matter in some way. Finally Miss cese. meh. | White told them to write their names | t | ona slip of paper and she would | make a cross opposite the man of her choce. They did so and she put the cross opposite Charley's name. | Lee then gave back her ring, bid | her an affectionate goodby and star- she made a cross opposite his name also. There seemed no way out of the trouble, but finally the young men were told to go again and the first one called was to return and the other was to keep going and not come back, no matter who called for him. They again left, and before they had gone far she called Lee back and Charley kept on. So at last Miss White had made her choice. She hastily dressed and in less thsn an hour she and Lee, accom- panied by her father and friends,were on their way to Columbia to get a marriage license. The was spent at Centralia, where several ineffectual attempts were made to induce the girl te change her mind and refuse to marry Lee. The next day the couple went to Columbia and were happily married by Prof. Oldham of Christian College and quiet. But the most remarkable thing is the good feeling between the young men throughout. They are both of high mettle, yet they kept cool all the time, and when the happy cou- ple returned they were met by Char- ley Winn, who was the the first to congratulate them. The young men ure distantly rela- ted and both come of good families. All parties regret very much the notoriety caused by the episode. Nothing that ever occured in this section has caused half the gossip and excitement this has.

Ex State Auditor John Walker, of Howard county, passed through the city this morning on his way home from Jefferson City. While waiting at the Union depot for his train, a Bazoo reporter had a few minutes conversation with Mr. Walker, who was not at all averse to expressing his views upon questions of state policy. Speaking of the present as- pect of the temperance moyement in this state and the efforts being made to change present laws on the dramshop question, Mr. Walker said that from what he could gather at the capitol, there would be no legislation on the subject this ses- sion. While a strong pressure is _ being brought to bear upon the members of the legislature by this and that element seeking radical changes, the very diversity of these demands would result in the legisla- legislature doing nothing at all upon the question, and this was awise course to pursue since the present law, where enforced, was giving eminent satisfaction, and. was becoming thoroughly under- stood. If any changes were made in the present dramshop law, it would be in the nature of an increase of the license, and a division of the tax accruing from the same between the county and the city in which the saloon is located. The present legislature will not submit a prohi- bition amendment of the state con- stitution to the people this session. That much may be relied upon. The widows of four Presidents of the United States, Mesdames Polk, — Tyle:z, Grant and Garfield, are receiv- ing Goverment pensions of five thou- sand dollars a year. The widows of: three Major-Generals, Mesdames Blair Hancock and Logan, are receiv- ing pensions of two thousand dol- lars a year. The widow of General Sheridan will come between the two, with a pension of thirty-five hun- dred dollars. A Chicago paper observes of Mrs. Cleveland: “Standing in the gaze of the world, where every word of hers is chronicled, every gesture reported and every article of dress itemized, she has raade no mistake, incurred no censure, provoked no criticis!
