THE STORY TWO YOUNG MEN TELL OF CONDUCT WHILE IN JAIL. The facts surrounding the death of J. Walkup, of Emporia, Kas.,and the subsequent trial of his young widow on thecharge of polsoning him and her acquittal are still tres in the minds of the puviic. Immediately after the trial Mrs, Walkup went to New Orieans, where she has resided ever since. At the time of Walkup’s death he was a member of the A. 0. U.W.,and axsuch held a beneficiary ceriiti- cate.” EM. Ford, as attorney for the grand lodge of Kansas, instituted sults aguinst the widow and children of Mr. Walkup to deter- mine their respective interests. The amount involved—$2,000—was paid into the court to await the result of the action. It appears that Sheriff WilLite and requested an explanation, Gntekunst was called up, and upon being qaes tioned plainly stated th isted between Mrs. W that Oscar Withite, the sheriff's son, was’ alxo implicated.

Gutekunst testified 2 frequently been in Mrs, Walkup's roo she was in Jail, and had been intimate wi: at the suggestion of young Wilhite and by het invitation.

Gutekunst claimed that the money he requested her to send him was for money the boys had jet her have during the time she was in jall. ‘MRS. WALKUP'S INDIGNANT DENIAL. A New Orleans dispaich says that Mrs, ‘Walkup indignantly denies the allegations of young Gutekunst and Wilhite. She says the the widow clalms to be encleate with the jost= humous cnlid of Mr. Walkup. This would pos- | sibly compel an additional division on accoant | of the production of another heir, ‘The jane ftor of ‘the jail, Edward Gutekanst, a young man of about eighteen, wrote a “letter to ‘irs, Walkup in New ‘Orleans requesting er to send him a sum of money.
