They had, a few xmall bottles at various hotels, and somehow the horse disappeared. So did they, later, but Miss Bass was arrested by the irate liveryman and put under $1,000 bonds to stand trial for noras theft’ ‘The trial was retyfor April 7, but the young woman didn't wait for the date. @he skipped in fear to New’ York, @hanged her name and went to work in @ department store. She rented apart- ments at No. 147 East Thirtieth street and enjoyed her freedom, She Met a Likely Clerk, One night she and another girl went to a dance in Flatbush. There they met Robert V. McLaughlin, chief clerk sin the spice house of S, Stretch & Co,, No, 80 Pear! street. ‘They became ever so well acquainted and MoLaughlin used to take her to ances, theatres and even to Coney Island when this fine spring weather ame, Meantimesthe bondman who stood for the $1,000 was worrled. He tried to the girl and couldn't. She heard he was looking for her and had a notice tm aerted In a newspaper that she had died of consumption, ‘This was very sad and \t might have healed the whole business had the young woman remained away from her moth- ers home. But she couldn't. She used’ to sneak into New Rochelle at night, and ‘two nights ago a lynx-eyed constable caught her. She was clapped into jail. Then she began telling storles about her flance, Mr. MoLaughlin, She tele- phoned him to come right up to see ther, and he dd. He promised to get pall for her, and came back to New ‘York yesterday and ‘hustled about mong his friends without avail. Sure She Was Loved, But Miss Elizabeth, who was sure that he loved her, was also sure that he would get bail. She told every one that his) father was immensely rich; that he was a New Mexico mine owner; that he would surely get her out and then marry her at the “Little Church ‘Around the Corner,” as they ‘had se- cretly planned fete the gonstable in- ~tervened, ‘This got into the newspapers, and when McLaughlin saw it he made « clutch at job, for he was gure it was gone. ae ow her and I like her,” Bt) sald to-day at his office, ‘but I can't stand for this marrying ‘business.

ST. LOUIS, April 24.—Lieut.-Gov. Lee has made a signed statement in which he says: “I haye not been a fugitive fram jus- tice. I have not remained away to de- lay, hinder or obstruct the admintstra- tlon of justice. I have appeared before the Grand Jury at Jefferson City three times, arld have told them :all I know about all matters of corruption of which I mave any knowledge, and indictments have been brought based upon that testi- mony and the testimony of others. “I have not stayed uway to shletd any one from prosecution for perjury, bribery or anything else. I have told all 1 know and have nothing more to tell, and do not Propose to invent any information. I have not testified against my enemies, permitting my friends to 0 free or against Republicans and pos- {tively not against Democrats. I gave no testimony against Senator Sullivan (Republican), as I knew nothing about any wrongdoing on his part.” ‘Lee arnved in St. Louis yesterday. He looks broken down. A reporter asked him as to his future course. “I am done with politics,” he sald emphatica:ly. "I'don't propose to have anything more to do with it. I swear that I haveh’t made a cent out of leg- {slation this session. While some of the Senators are being proved to have big accounts, I have‘only $0 to my credit in the bank. That {s proof enbugh of my honesty at this session.” The Lieutenant-Governor, while not saying definitely that he will resign, was evidently not unwilling for this deduc- tion’ to be drawn, “Iam a poor man,” he said; “I intend to devote the rest of my life to making gome money for my family. One can't do it honestly and remain in politics." PRESIDENT TO. LAY CORNER STONE. Massive Arched Entrance ta Yellow- stone Park, to Be Built of Lava, Begun at Gardiner, ST.
