Thlnfri Bhe Tells to One Corre
spondent in Pittsburg.
LILLY JOHNSON TELLS HEE STOBI
Memphis, July 20. The testimony in
troduced in the Alice Mitchell case to-day
pertunedprincipally to her correspondence
with her victim, Miss "Ward, and several
personally unknown gentlemen with -whom
she had established acquaintanceships
through the medium of advertisements.
Robert Mitchell was again called to the
stand to read letters. The first " letter was
from Freda "Ward to Alice after the dis
covery of their plans of elopement. She
warns Alice not to write her any more let
ters, as they won't reach her; declares her
undying love and constancy; swears she will
yet marry her in spite of oppoy'Son, and
expresses her hatred lor her broti jr-in-lavr,
Mr. Yolkmar, whom she says she hates
worse than poison. Other memoranda in
Alice's handwriting were read to indicate
that she was casting about for work to do
when she married Freda. Then followed
another letter from Freda, the last one she
ever wrote. It was dated January 18, 1892.
Talks Freely of Her Proposed Marriage.
It expresses the great regret of the writer
that she is forbidden to speak to her Alice;'
expresses undying love for her, and cautions
her to "say nothing about that last Bum
mer's elopement," as no one knew of it but
her family.
"Witness had spoken to his step-sister
about her proposed niarriase with Freda.
She talked ot it lreely. She said Dr. Pat
terson was to marry them. Then they were
going to St. Louis. This ended the direct
examination, and General Peters took the
witness. "Witness admitted that Alice
carried on a correspondence with others
besides Freda. She had corresponded with
various men, strangers to her.
A letter addressed to V. J. "Ward, Car
bon, Tex,, and written by Alice, was read.
She expressed her pleasure that her corres
pondent is pleased and had fallen in love
with her description, and wonders how long
it will be before he falls in love with her.
She says she is writing without the knowl
edge of her parents, and says this is the rea
son she does not have her letters sent to the
house. The letter is signed Freda "Ward.
One Letter To a Pittsburg Man.
Still another letter was read, dated Janu
ary 23, only three days before the tragedy.
It is addressed to Tom It Kfeger, Pittsburg,
equally affectionate with him as with "Dear
Birdie." She aflects to be an actress, and
says it is told of actresses that they can
really love, that "they miss the prompter,"
but assures him that "this little actress
can." She tells how a man 30 years old
made love to her last Friday.
Then comes a letter to Freda, written
August 1, 189L It starts ont with "Dearest
Love." It is a jealous letter, accuses her of
loving Ashley Bosell, and sars she will kill
Mr. Ashley before Freda shall have him.
"Oh, if I could see yon once, if I could
only squeeze yonl Oh, you don't know how
I love you!" she writes, and after formulat
ing plans lor an elopement at some future
time expresses the tear that If thev delay
too long she will fall in love with some
boy.
Letters were read from Alice to "Henry,"
a young roan she had met at Golddust, in
which she refers to Alice as her sister;
another in which she speaks of her friend,
Alice Mitchell.
A Minister Who Wasn't Too Solemn.
Then comes a "daisy" letter to "Henry."
She1 tells ol a trip taken under the escort of
"a solemn old minister." She found him
not so solemn inside as out, and they got
along very well. But their baggage checks
got mixed, and afterward the parson left
her at a junction to go to Iowa and she
reached her destination. She tells what
happened as follows:
"The baggage master brought out a rnsty
old valise lor my check. Think of it mr
blue silk and things going off to Iowa and
me left with the parson's collars, pants and
things ! Much good my ruffles and things
will do him."
The only thing that spoiled the story was
the assumption that the trip was a mythi
cal one. The letter is signed Freda Ward,
but was written by Alice.
The next witness was 'Miss Lilly John
son, the young woman whose misfortune it
was to be Alice Mitchell's companion when
the murder was committed, and which lact
has caused her joint indictment with Alice
on a charge of murder. She testified she
had known Alice for three years. She saw
her twice on the day of the killing once in
the morning and again in the afternoon.
What Lilly Johnson Saw of the Iricfriy.
She said Freda was Alice's friend. She
always spoke ofher, and was telling wit
ness how she loved Freda. After that visit
she spoke only of Freda. "When she was in
jail she could only speak of Freda contin
ually. Alter they were separated Alice
was always crying and sick, and saying she
wished she could see Freda. Then, coming
io me iatai unve just belore the murder,
Bhe told how Alice followed the Ward girls,
saying she must see Freda once more.
"V hen they caught up with the girls at the
Custom House, Alice said:
"Oh, Lill Freda looted at me and
smiled."
"Then," resumed the witness, "she got out
of the bnggy and said I muss tell her good
by. When Alice returned there were one
or two spots of blood on her face." Witness
asked what the Ward girl had done to her.
Alice said, "Let me in," and then jumped
over the wheel into the buggy. Witness
was arrested the next day and was put in
the same room with Alice.
Witness testified that Alice had confided
to her that she wanted to marry Freda.
Witness thought she had persuaded Alice
out of attempting to marry Freda, but she
still wanted to marry her. She did not
know Alice was armed with a razor or any
other weapon on the day of the murder.
She thought she was only going to tell Freda
goodbv and kiss her.
This ended the direct examination, and
the cross-examination will be commenced
to-morrow.
ST. PAUL'S PICNIC.
Seminary Grove Contains the largest
Party In Its History Catholic Congre
gations Unite to Raise Fends for tne
Tannehlll Street Orphan Asylum.
The English speaking Catholio churches
of Pittsburg yesterday united in a nicnio
for the benefit of St. Paul's Orphan Asy
lum on Tannehill street The picnic was
in Seminary Grove at Glenwood, and was
the most successful one ever held. An ad
mission fee was charged, and handsome re
turns were secured by .the sale of edibles at
booths attended by the ladies of the various
churches.
The grounds opened at 9 o'clock in the
forenoon, when the prominent citizens who
were on the Committee of Arrangements
entered the grounds and gazed around. The
day looked bad, as the .skv was cloudy, but
the committee had hopes that the sun would
soon come nut clear of clouds. The sun
came out, but it came out beyond, the
sanguine hopes of the learned committee
men. It came out on a scorching expedi
tion, and during the greater part of the day
the open grounds abont the entrance were
decidedly too warm lor comfort.
Ex-Postmaster J. B. Larkin took his seat
in the ticket office, two men were placed at
the gate to take up the tickets, and Patrick
Foley stood behind them to give them
counsel and assistance. The people soon
began to come, and they kept coming all
dav long, to sueh an extent that the cars of
the Second avenue line were unequal to the
strain. After the people got up into the
beautifnl glen, where the trees touch hands
all the way across the cool chasm, they did
not feel the sun's heat.
To appreciate cool nooks it is 'necessary
that the sun shall beat hot on the open road
ways and unprotected fields. This was the
sitnation yesterday and those who rode in
crowded cars along a dusty thoroughfare
felt when they reached the shady precincts
of the leafy glen that they had found
a place where picnics ought always to be
held.
The orphans themselves Were not there.
It was too thronged a place for them, but
theirs will be the benefit from the generous
contributions of the day. By 3 o'clock
there were 5,000 people in the grove, and
their number swelled itntil 6, when there
were about 8,000. Kunning up the shaded
valley there were prettily decorated
stands, where the ladies of the
several churches sold cakes, confec
tions, lemonade, ice cream, watermelon
and other delicacies and concoctions. These
booths in their order represented the La
dies Catholic Benevolent Association, St
Paul's branch, and the following churches:
St James, West End, Holv Cross, St
Paul's, Sacred Heart. St John's. St
Stephen's and St Agnes'. Last of all was
a booth managed by the Cathedral Sodality.
The most beautifully decorated of all these
booths was that of the Holy Cross.
There were amusements for theyonth and
grown people in the way of dancing, hit
ting the strength machine, throwing rubber
balls at the colored gentleman, chasing the
elusive cane with rings, etc., while the
little ones laughed at the bagpipe player
and at the two gentlemen of African ex
traction who pjayed tunes on 15 instru
ments at the sanSe time. At 4 o'clock
Squire Herman Handel mounted the danc
ing platform and made a pretty speech
about the orphans and the duty of the peo
ple to care for them, to which Mr. O'Leary
made a touching response on behalf of the
absent orphans.
A BTBAHOE BOY.
He Ban Away, Lived In m Cava and Then
Blam-d His Mother for Brutality.
Joseph Koluski, a boy about 11 years of
age. is in the Twenty-eighth ward station
home. He was found early yesterday
morning by Officer Sheets under very pecu
liar circumstances. The boy was lying in a
stable on South Twenty-second street and
he told a very pitiful story about being
driven away from home. He said he had
been thrown out of the house by his mother
on the previous day and injured severely.
He had tried to find a place to stav, bnt
failing he had taken up his abode in the
stable.
The matter was reported to Agent Mc
Donald, of the Anti-Cruelty Society, and he
made an investigation last night, which de
veloped an entirely different state of affairs
from those represented by the boy. It
turned out that the boy had run away from
home about ten days ago, and his parents
had not heard from him since. Young
Koluski had in that time developed a rather
strange mode of living. Near the' stable in
which he was found he had a cave dug in
the ground where "he slept at night In the
daytime he would beg from the glasshouse
bovs in the vicinity, and in this way he got
sufficient to live on. He disappeared from
home once before under similar circum
stances, and has given his parents consider
able trouble at various times.
The Solrtlrr Boy's Hearing Fixed.
Additional complaints were lodged against
David Lester, who stabbed Captain Cal
houn, and Howard Hook by Thomas Qnin
ton, manager of Devore's undertaking
house, yesterday, charging them with felo
nious assault with intent to kill. The in
formations were made before Alderman P.
R Beilly. They will be given a hearing
July 27.
A Boy Charged With Barg'ary.
Detective John T. Korris, of Springfield,
O., passed through the city last night, hav
ing in custody a boy named Curtis Craw
ford, who is wanted in Kittanning for bur
glary. Crawford was arrested In JTlnalay.
Calhonn Improving.
The condition of Captain Frank C. Cal
houn, who was stabbed with a bayonet by
Corporal Lester, of the "Fourteenth Begi
roent, was reported as being much improved
last night

Are causing much comment among
astronomers just now and all sorts of
?larming predictions are made by
weak mortals who crave notoriety.
"Old Sol's" face was freckled many
a time before without serious results
to inhabitants of this mundane sphere,
so nervous folks might as well rest
easy.
It isn't notoriety but room we're
after. Room for fall goods we must
have, hence these sacrifices.

week. His daughter, Miss Edna Morrow,

To the Public.
I have no hesitancy in recommending
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhcea
Remedy to the public, as I do to my friends
and patrons. I used it myself after other
well-known remedies had failed, and it
cured me in a few minutes. I recommend
it candidly and cheerfully upon its merits,
not from a financial standpoint, because I
hare others in stock on which I make a
larger profit, but because Chamberlain's is
the best remedy I know of for bowel com
plaints. There is no doubt about it, it does
the work Jamks Fobgt, Druggist,
