Wife While Insane Over Lost

STOLEN BY THE POSTMASTER
Latter Confessed and Made Partial
Restitution Details Told by United
Gtatcs Inspectors Following Hat
field's Death In Prison.
Washington, D. C Tho circum
stances which led up to tho Imprison
ment of Harrison Hatfield for killing
his wife wore made public horo by
Post Ofllco Inspectors following his
death In the penitentiary at Mounds
vlllo, West Va.
Hatfield was a member of the no
torious family which was Involved for
years In a feud with the McCoys. Ho
lived near Horsepcn In the mountains
of West Virginia. Ho was widely
known as "Old Hatcher" and was a
leader of tho Hatflelds in tho McCoy
Hatflold feud, which raged in several
counties on tho borders of West Vir
ginia and Kontucky. Ono of his eyes
was shot out during n raid which tho
Hatflelds made into Kontucky sovcral
years ago. The Hntflelds owned largo
areas of land in West Virginia from
which they realized consldorablo
money.
"Old Hatcher" deposited $2,854 in
tho Guyan Valloy Bank at Logan,
West Va. Subsequently, having nood
of tho monoy, ho authorized Alexan
der H. Trent, Postmaster at Horsopen,
to direct tho bank to forward tho
monoy to him by registered lotter.
Hatfield called at the Post Ofllco re
peatedly for tho registered letter, but
when It arrived, on Aprlll 24, 1007,
ho had left the ofllco only a short
time before to assist an intoxlcatod
man who could not sit astride his
mule alone. Hatfield directed Post
master Trent to take special care of
tho letter, lest It be destroyed by flro
at tho Post Office.
Early the following morning tho
post ofllco was destroyed by flro, the
contents of the samo alone being
saved.
Hatfleld'B lotter was not In the safo.
Postmaster Trent declared he had
placed the lotter with the ordinary
mall, all of which was burned.
An investigation of the fire and of
the disappearance of the letter was
made by Post Office Inspectors. It
was discovered that Postmaster Trent
had once obtained a typewriter from
a Chicago concern by fraudulent rep
resentations, to which hp confessed.
Later, Trent and.j.hls father were in
dicted for having stolen tho registered
letter.
Trent finally confessed tho theft
and made propositions looking to the
refunding of tho money. Ho produced
from a Jar hidden under his barn the
sum of $1,280. which, with $500 ob
tained from his bondsmen, was turned
over to Hatfield. Trent was convict
ed of tho crime, but he escaped from
Jail and Is now a fugitive from Justice.
Becoming Insano from worry over
the loss of his money and tho sud
den elation at the recovery of a con
siderable part of It, Harrison Hat
field poisoned his wife, who was an
Indian woman. Ho was sentenced to
the penitentiary for life, and thoro
he died. It was not until his death
that the Post Office Inspectors felt
Justified In revealing all the facts In
the case.

8200,000 71N MONEY"
Chicago Man Settles $15,000 a Year
on Wife and Daughter to 8ee
How They Spend It.
j Chicago. Adolph J. Llchtstcln of
I No. 273C Michigan avenuo believes his
wlfo and daughter should have plenty
I of "pin money" without waiting for
! his death. Tho Idea of getting rid of
wealth while allvo and seeing how It
Is being spent caught Mr. LIchtstoln's
fancy. Ho called up his lawyer on
the 'phono. Arrangements woro mndo
and soon after the idea was born Mrs.
i Llchtstcln and her daughter wcro the
j possessors of an annual Incomo ol
i 515,000.
I Mr. Llchtstcln had arranged that
tho Income from property valued at
$250,000 be paid to his wlfo and daugh
ter. "Lovo and affection for the bene
ficiaries" in tho consideration men
tioned In tho declaration of trust
filed.
"I wanted to give them this prop
erty whilo I am alive," explained Mr.
Llchtstcln. "They will begin to re
ceivo tho monoy at once. Tho trust
specifies that they get this as long
as they live. I have moro monoy than
I can use. I want to havo the pleas
ure of seeing my family enjoy it
now.
"I don't want my wife and daughter
to havo to beg me for spending monoy.
I can now havo tho comfort of not bo
ng worrlod over women's bills, and
will have tho pleasure of scotng my
wlfo and daughter enjoy themselves.
I count that Infinitely bettor than
holding on to my dollars until I loso
my grip on nil things earthly. What
good would they do mo then? H prob
ably is Rclflshucss In my wanting to
soo some of tho spending of It myself
beforo I go but call It whatever you
like, that's tho way It stands. I am
happy, my wife Is happier, and you
know happiness is contagious."
PREDICTS HUMAN GOD OF MIGHT.
Dr. Haldeman Condemns Modern Edu
cation, Which Will Create Him.
New York City. Assorting that
ovents Justified the prophecy that ero
long a man, a product of this twenti
eth century education, would arlso
beforo whom all mankind would
bow as beforo a god, the Rev. Dr. I.
M. Haldoman, pastor of tho FirRt
Baptist Church, Broadway and 70th
Btreot, proached on "The Progress of
tho Devil's Lie," which, ho said, was
receiving due honor in the teachings
of some modern universities.
Man, he said, needed faith to bo
linked to God. "A question," said Dr.
Haldeman, "Is a devil's Invention. It
was first spoken and invented by the
devil. A question mark Is no moro
than a figure of a serpent with its
head ready to strike."
He closed by saying that a man
would arise out of this twentieth cen
tury education, a man with hundreds
of millions, with a great mind for
business, genius in many things, a
man gifted with a profound knowl
edge of occultism, a man owning all
tho railroads of the world, a man be
foro whom all tho world would bow
aa It would beforo a god.
MARS CANALS FOR DRAINAGE.
German Says They Are to Prevent
Floods When Pole Caps Melt.
Berlin, Germany. Prof. F. S. Arch
oenhold, Director of tho Trcptow As
tronomical Observatory, commenting
upon the Idea that tho canals on Mars
were constructed for the purpose of
signaling to the earth, said ho was un
able to accept this view. In his opin
ion the canals on Mars were for the
practical purpose of drawing off tho
enormous masses of snow water that
evidontly come with the molting of
tho Ice caps and to provont inunda
tion. This theory, ho says, is confirmed
by tho fact that the canals, which at
other timos are Indistinct, becomo
sharply marked when the Bnow caps
melt, and tho professor assumes that
they are built by throwing up dikes
a few yards high.

hero to revive the churches. They
would not nood to be revived If they
wero not dying. 'The decline of
Chrlstlnnity Is universal,' says the
Rov. Dr. Aked. Ho also states that
'Christianity is rapidly approaching a
vanishing point' The Episcopalian
Annual admits 'That the clergy have

Tho Chicago Presbytery, In Its offi
cial document, states that 'Interest In
tho devotional life has Blackened, at
tendance at seated services has fallen

tian service have becomo Irksome.
This Is very serious. Two thousand
years of gospel preaching havo well
nigh emptied tho churches.
"Gypsy Smith will succeed in mak
ing a great noise. After his depart
ure tho clergy will find that to hold
their own they must themselves adopt
noisy methods or very soon arrange
for another revival."
