Wasiinavon, D.C. March 21—The Oliver- Cameron teal approaches the end. ‘The evi- dence to-day proved, ciiher that the widew Oliver hoa ® husband, in which case sho cannot compel Old Sion Cameroa to marry ber, or that she has been leading a grossly immoral life for more than a quarter of necntury. Unless the testinony can he rebutted, it puts the baxom, orjus Gen. Butler puts it, the tough ofd widow, in the very bad atiltude before the fury of having testifiud to mutters which others swear are tha reverse oof the truth, ‘Phe — prinelpal = featuro of — the da was the teatimony of ‘Thomas M. Oliver, the reputed amd certatuly the acting Insband of the widow for many years. Ife is the man, at all events, fromm wham sho tool the ame of Qllyer, who was Yhe father of her iltdren, and whose alleged auath, to whieh she swore, gavo her tha Utle of the widow, Ile came iuto court to-day to testify iit he NEVRR JAD ELEN DRAD} O thal he never had been married to tals woman, and that at the Cine when tho widow hag testi fied she had vot seen or heard of hittn since the War, amb thought that he hat been Killed, eho was In constant correspoudence with hin re- scecting their child, The story of Mr. Oliver's relations to this woman Plustrates ndark chapter in our elviti- zatlon, Gubone which, apparently, from Ollyer’s: testimony, is 0 very frequent chapter tn the bias tory of Kentucky morality. Mr. Oliver first met the widow who beara his nana in an agate. nation house by appolutment in 18st. She was. on (rish girl, and fad fallen before that time, au) bore then the name of Mary Aun McCaf- frey, From that day her relations with Mr. Oliver ecem to have been continued until 1800, 0 period of somo ten.ycars. Tor four years she wasan employe in hfs factory, and Hved with hin as his mistress, although at one tine, fora perlod of tive monthe, ho DID TRY TO REFORM HER. Tn 1854 sho commenced Ivluge with him as his wife, und chitdren were born to them. One died, and a graye-stone was erected in Louls- ville inseribed, ‘Tommie, daughter of 'T. M. and M.A. Oliver." Another child was ‘born, and still lives. Durlng all there years Mr. Oll- ver says he never introduced the widow ns his wife, although sho was generally known as Mrs. Oliver, aud her children. were recognized as his. Nelther hod there ever been any marriage cere- mony performedof any kind between the widow aud bimeelf, aud in this particular again Mr, Oliver flatly contradicts hls widow. In 180 he left her, and had 9 great deal of trouble with her afterwards bout his child, . tle gave her considerable maney nt different times, Flualiy he got the ehitd away by Jeaat process nud edu- cated IG The mother meanwhile waa CONSTANTLY WRITING TO 11M, and often seulig to defame Stilt Mr. Ullver protested that he never was married to the woman. It was safe for him to make that Protest, for, during .n considerable portion of the time that the Widow Oliver passed as hisswife, and Bvedanltydim,.and.bere, tabi, children, whom ho recugnizedand recoguizes, he was, a3 ho etyles Iimeolf, a sort of grass widow, and bad then ategal wife living, from whom be had not been divorced. Whether the whlow Oliver and Mr, Oliver were ever married is the vital point {a the case. Cen, Butler and Simon Cameron's counsel claim that there was amarrage, Oppostig counsel clatm that. there was not. The Judge holds his opinton fn re- eer ANOTHER VITAL VOT inthe ease Is, that the Jetters by which it ts claimed that Simon Cameron offered hinselt tn warrluge to the widow are forged letters, and 83 an illustration of the racter uf the for- teries Gen. Butler offers the theury that they wera written by the Widow Oliver - herself, Gen. Butler in substance says: “A eareful examination of the letters offered in evl- deuce by plutntt® and the handwriting of Mr, Cameron hing been made, and ft ts found that {nthe —Iettera— contain- ing the allezedd = promise of — marriage, calmed to bo slened by Mr. Cameron, the 4's have a toop, while in Mr. Cameron's handwrit+ ing there is stuply a stroke at the end and no Toop, Also that in commencing a letter Mr. Cameron capttalzes the Diy tdear,!? ant in the alleged letters the “dear commences with asmall letter, and his y's hayes no Joop, as ap- Pears fu the tivo letters relied on, Sormnuch Gen, Butler seeks for Simon Cameron in this case to disprove, hut there fs enough of shame and nastiness in it, which no attempt lias yet Veen made to disproye, to causa Cameron to re- grut the suit.
