SKELTON FOR BLACKMAIL. Three TVituesses Examined for tlie State nnd Oue for the Defense. Mr. Skelton Did IS'ot Take tlie Stand. Caae Submitted Without Argument By the Attorneys.

Last evening Lawyer W. J. Skelton was bound over to the district court under bond of $500 having been held by Justice Bruce L. Keenan on the charge of attempted blackmail, on charges preferred by Willard H. Boone.

The case was commenced at 10 o'clock yesterday morning with Judge McCan-less and Senator O'Bryan attorneys for the state and J. F. Conley attorney for the defense. The proceedings commenced with a motion by Mr. Conley to set aside the complaint.

This was argued at some length by the trio of melisian jurists and orators resulting in being overruled by Justice Keenan. Mr. Boone then was sworn and his testimony occupied the remainder of the forenoon. He recited the story of the combat at his office on the afternoon of January 7 and the causes that led to it. He said that Mr.

Skelton came to his office and that upon asking him what his business was Mr. Skelton said that he wanted the sum of 5250. When Mr. Boone asked him what he wanted it for he said that he was in the hole that fn Arkansas. Ohio.

Michigan and much and wanted to get out, "He baid se receiV" fV, ed word recently he had been seen that I had made a good deal of money in Des Moines. Iowa, but had left that prosecuting joints and that I ought to city for Cedar Rapids. Mr. Green im-kive him what he asked for past favors mediately telegraphed to the chief of to me." Mr. Boone then recited how I police at Cedar Rapids to hold Hoadlv Mr.

Skelton said that he would prosecute him unless he paid him the money demanded, and then how the fist fight came about and its results. Mr. Conly in cross examination asked Mr. Boone whether he remembered the day he went to Skelton's office with Colonel Hallowell and asked his help in prosecuting liquor cases, but upon objection this question was ruled out. Question by Mr.

Conley "Did you ever talk to Skelton in his private office concerning the liquor prosecutions?" Answer "Very little, if any. I don't remember." Q. "Didn't you in his office, in the presence of Mr. Hallowell. talk with Skelton and ask him to assist you in prosecuting violators of the 'liquor law?" A "There was no such talk in reference to it." Did you ever have any conversation with Skelton in which you and he were to prosecute violators of the liquor law?" A There was some conversation.

He came up and said he wanted to be attorney of record." Did you have any talk in reference to receiving money from the Fair association?" Ruled out by the court. Did you have a conversation with Skelton in the last two or three months in reference to any cliim by him of Indebtedness from you?" A "No." "Was there any conversation between you in which he claimed money due him for assisting in procuring evidence." A "No. I have had no conversation with him in the last three months in reference to fees. He would go around and talk to my friends and then they would come and tell me. At one time he wanted me to let Judge McCanless out and him in." "Didn't you state to parties who had been arrested for violation of the liquor law that if they would see Skelton matters could be adjusted?" "No." Witness stated that at the time of the personal encounter between himself and Skelton, Jim Williams and George Green were in the closet adjoining the private office and that Judge McCanless, Otto Eckstein and Dav Leahy were in the room.

"Did you have a conversation with Otto Eckstein soliciting him to bring Skelton to your office?" A "I think not." "Do you know what Eckstein was there for and what did he say?" A "I can't remember what he said. I don't think he said anything in reference to Skelton." Question by O'Bryan "Did you owe Skelton anything on the 7th day of December?" A "Not a penny. He never made any claim to me, but he has to other parties." "Did he ever claim that you ought to pay him for work in any suit?" A "No." "Did he ever claim that he had received and paid you money received from the Fair association?" A "No." Adjourned for dinner. The court convened at 2 o'clock with the usual star audience. For half an hour previous thereto Judge McCandless.

Farmer Doolittle and others entertained the audience with fiying sparks of wit and wisdom, some of which had a pronounced trace of sarcasm. County Attorney Boone and acting States Attorney Edward O'Bryan. were busy laying the ground work for the afternoon proceedings and at ten minutes before the hour set everything seemed to be perfectly satisfactory and they mingled with the crowd. Promptly on time Mr. Skelton amI attorney, J.

F. conley, arrived nnn n- tnnni mnn pprcmnnv inn rasfl and without much ceremony the case vas taken up and proceeded with. Deputy Constable James Williams was the first to take the stand for the state. He said that on the 7th day of June he went to the County Attorney's office to see Constable Green, and that while there Mr. Eckstein and Mr.

Skelton were seen coming. Mr. Boone asked him and Mr. Green to step into the closet that he thought Skelton was coming to see him, Mr. Williams and Mr.

Green, to hear the conversation. According to the request he and Mr. Green went into the closet and in a short time Mr. Skelton and Mr. Eckstein entered.

Mr. Eckstein retired shorly afterwards and Mr. Boone and Mr. Swelton opened the conversation. Mr.

Williams said he did not hear all the conversation but heaid Mr. Skelton sav that he wanted Mr. Boone to give him $250 and that he would let up on him. He also heard Boone say that he owed nothing to Mr. Skelton but that the latter owed him 5162.

The next thin he heard was the fight and some-bodv say "Oh Otto come here." He thought the fight lasted only a minute when they were separated. Judge McCandless was the next witness. He said that he saw Mr. Skelton enter the private office of the county attorney and that Mr. Eckstein immediately retired again.

He heard Skelton's voice through the transom demanding $250 of Boone, or that he would bring the charges of disbarment against him Previous to that he ald that Mr. Skelton told him the same thing in substance. Shortly after Mr. Skelton's demand he heard a scuffle and knew that both were fighting. He said, in explanation of the fact that he made no effort to go in and interfere, that "fools enter where angels fear to tread." This ended the testimony for the state and the defense put Constable George Green on the stand.

He corrobated the statements of the witnesses for the state. It was expected that the two local Celtic orators, O'Bryan and Conly, would make speeches but the audience were disappointed for the case was submitted to the court without argument. Justice Keenan bound Mr. Skelton cv-r- to the district court in the sum of $500. SUGGESTION'S TO RKPPPMCaXSL The time in which to call a convention and in which to hold primaries for the purpose of nominating a Republican candidate for the legislature from the Sixty-seventh district, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of TJ.

M. Lawrence, is brief. It being out of usual time it would be difficult to get cut a really representative vote at the primaries which would probably result in the direction fixed by such few individuals as might take enough Interest to make an active effort. In view of these facts it is suggested that the county central committee call together the convention that nominated Mr. Lawrence.

The members of that convention were chosen to nominate the Republican who should represent the Sixty-seventh in the legislature this winter. We see no reason why they should not still do that work. It would not only be a prerogative, but a just and safe course to pursue. The gentlemen composing that convention are competent and all right in every way and were not chosen in any individual interest. They vtould get together without prejudice and with the least expenditure of time or money, besides it would relieve the situation of all suspicion of jobs.

Let the central committee reconvene the original convention and we guarantee that the great body of the Re publicans of the Sixty-seventh will be I entirely satisfied. THEY AE AITEIt ilOADI.T. Constable Giecn Has ic to Krlnj to Answer Charges. Constable G. M.

Green left last night for Topeka to get a requisition for C. C. Hoadly, who is wanted for embezzling SHO. Hoadly was employed by Johantgen Skinner in their life insurance office, and one morning last April he turned UP missing. He has since been heard if he should be found.

This morning: Constable Green received a message stating that Hoadly had been captured. After getting a requisition from Governor Lewelling, Green will go immediately to Cedar Rapids and bring Hoadly back to Wichita. DOG THE31. Faithful Canine l'rcven a 15'j: Ilobbiry at Augusta. Yesterday morning the police found in the south part of the Sixth ward a stolen horse, buggy and set of harness.

The find was the sequel to a big robbery that was attempted at Augusta by some of the many professional thieves nho make this city their home. A prominent merchant at Augusta, it was ascertained by the gang, by some means, had an immense amount of money in his safe. They attacked the place Saturday night with plans fully matured to steal the money, but they found a big bull-dog guarding the store on the inside. With the cunning of professional burglars they were prepared for even this emergency with a lot of poisoned meat. Breaking a window glass they inserted the meat for the benefit of the dog, but he fooled them.

He examined the meat carefully and then looked at the robbers out of the corner of his vicious eyes. They waited for a long time expecting that he would indulge in the meat, but the longer they waited the more suspicious the dog became. Finally they were compelled to give up the job. They walked a mile west of Augusta where they stole two horses. On these they four or five miles whn they stole a cart and harness and hitching one of the 1 to the cart rode to town and leaving the hore stand they skipped out.

After the robbers left the faithful dog quietly ate the poisoned meat and died at 10 o'clock. There is a clue to the identity of the robbers and they may be caught. Tne police say there are at least 100 professional thieves living in Wichita smd operating from here. They do nothing in town but go to the surrounding villages to do their thieving work. They leave here after dark and return bfore daylight with their spoils, hence it is very hard to get on to them.

They al-sosteal a good deal from the farmers. In fact they are doing so much mischief in the rural portions that the farmers are thinking of organizing a vigilance committee in hopes that a lynching or two will put a stop to their work.

Groom Hits Ordained Christmas a Crack. He Saya no Marriage Can Be Unholy Where Lore Exists. He Also Saya It is Lottery With Many Blanks.

Details. The Martin residence at 411 Sherman avenue, was the scene of a very unique marriage last night when John R. Charlesworth and Miss Isis Blanche Martin were pronounced man and wife. The ceremony took place at 5:30 lit the presence of about twenty-five invited guests. Justice of the Peace Keenan performed the ceremony, which consisted of the usual civic ritual.

After the wedding ceremony a splendid suppr was served. Dr. R. Matthews proposed a toast to the groom, which Mr. Charlesworth answered in th following language: "My Friends: I hardly know whether this event is the most interesting to you or myself.

But. amid all the glamor and excitement of the occasion, through all the congratulations, the expressions of good-will and good cheer that have been showered upon me. I can say with pride, that so far. there is but one among my many friends, whose name, kindness alone forbids me to reveal, who has gone so far as to wish me "many happy returns of the day." "I once read in a certain book, that a certain being once said, "that it was not good for man to be alone." and do you know, my friends. I had just ar rived at that same conclusion myself.

What puzzles me the most is, to know vthether I have lost a rib-bone myself, or whether I have found some other fellow's rib. "To my mind, marriage is the holiest state in the life of man or woman, not made so by the mumbling of a pres-scribed service by a paid priest, but by the sanction of that great passion of the human race Love. No marriage can be an unholy one which love itself has sanctioned, but a marriage without it is a monstrous crime. Love is the ruling passion of the world. Love has shaken the thrones of emperors and kings and marked the destinies of nations.

Love is the throne of our poets and play-writers. Literature would be dead and almost meaningless without it. It has glorified art and moved the sculptors in exquisite statuary to symbolize it. A home, a fireside where love rules, no matter how humble and poor, would be to me a palace in which I would be content to pass the balance of my life. "I have frequently been asked in the course of my professional career, whether I consider marriage a failure or not? My answer has invariably been, no, I do not consider marriage a failure, because there are many happy marriages.

But I do regard it as a lottery, in which theie are more blanks than prizes. In the drawing every man and woman should be careful to the uttermost, and be sure that they have a prize before they take the final step. I feel that I have won a prize, the brightest gem in the casket, outarnk-ing in true worth the diamond that sparkles upon the brow of England's queen. "My friends, I thank you all for the kind solicitations you have so generously extended towards us at this time." Mrs. Charlesworth, the bride responded as follows: "My Friends: As much as I would like to comply with your wishes in this respect, I feel that words are inadequate to express my real sentiments at this time.

I can only thank you for your great kindness and for the mark of esteem you have all shown towards me. I fully appreciate all that has been said upon this occasion and will assure you that I shall be only too pleased to render all the assistance I can in my own poor way to aid my husband in his work. To assist him inthe dethronement of superstition and to show by our lives that two infidels can love and live to be an example to others." The following list of presents were received: Water set.
