Freedom to him moans not as much
relief from the terrible associations
behind the bars as tho opportunity to
prove to his fellow clti.ens that ho
was unjustly convicted.
In the federal court at Chicago Car
tor's fortune of cs77'2,000 is tied up. Tlo
government did not seize it until after
Mr. Wescott, Cutter's father-in-law,
a millionaire, had (lied. Carter says
Wescott gave him the fortune as the
share Mrs Carter would have received
had death not taken her away. Tho
government claims this fund is tho
proceeds of fraudulent collusion be
tween Carter, as supervising engineer,
and tho contractors Gnynor A- Greene,
on the Savannah harbor government
work.
Carter says ho will be able to prove
tho history of every bond in tho fund
and to show that Wciteott bought
many of them even before ho know
Carter. Every dollar will bo traced by
tho ox-ofllcer to show that not a cent
of It is stolen money His statement,
issued by his lawyer, reads well und
promises success.
Tho civil tiial will permit Carter to
intioduco testimony barred by tho
arbitrary manners of a military court.
"To err is huiiuui" and It is by no
means Improbable that Carter will
win the suit and thus vindicate lilm
solf in the eyes of tho people. Courts
martial aro notoriously all'ected in
their judgments by'issues which have
no direct bearing on the caso thoy aro
trying.
Is it possiblo that Carter was tho
victim of a horrible mistake?
Tho is no lack of money in tho Kemp
family. Thoy havo lived iu an ntmos
phoro of cut flowers and hothouse
delicacies. Tho grounds of hor suit
wore neglect and refusal to provldo
the necessaries of lifo. Judgo E. C.
Dubois granted a decree,
Eulor Ilollis H. Huuuowell, who at
once secured a inarriago licenso und
thou hied himself to Groor cottage,
where bo becamo tho husband o' Mrs.
Kemp, Judgo Dubois performing tho
inarriago ceremony. 1'hero were eleven
guests present at tho wedding, five of
, whom had been through the divorco
court How soon the .-est will air their
soiled linoti the Lord only kuows.
One of the most serious charges
against tho fashionable life Is that It
iu no way tenches or holds that marri
age is a permanent contract Iu tho
humbler homos tho separation of a
man and woman is a tragedy. In
"society" it Is ofton tho result of a.
whim. In tho cottago a divorco means
tears and bleeding hearts, and somo
timet a deep and lasting sonso of dis
grace. Iu tho palace, madam intro
duces her new husband to the cast oltf
ouo, and there Is much merrymaking
and laughter.
Do you wonder that humanity sneers
at tlio wisdom of courts and at tho in
tegrity of somo of tltoso who wear
judicial robes V
