their sides as Carter can.
Freedom to him means not as much
relief from tho torriblo associations
behind tho bars as the opportunity to
prove to his fellow citizens that ho
was unjustly convicted.
In the federal court at Chicago Car-
tor's fortune of 677'2,(XX) is tied up. TUo
government did not seize it until after
Mr. Wescott, Carter's fathor-ln-law,
11 millionaire, had tiled. Carter says
Wescott gave him the fortune us the
sharo 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 Guyuni'tv. Greene,
on the Savannah harbor government
work.
Carter says ho will bo ablo to prove
tho history of every bond in tho fund
and to show that Westcott bought
many of them even before ho know
Carter. Every dollar will bo traced by
tho ex-olllcer to show that not a cent
of It is stolen money. His statement,
issued by his lawyer, reads well uud
promises success.
Tho civil trial will permit Carter to ' one, aud there Is much merrymaking
introduce testimony barred by tho .and laughter.
Tho is no lack of monoy in tho Kemp
family. They havo lived in an atmos
phoro of cut flowers and hothouse
delicacies. Tho grounds of her suit,
wore neglect uud refusal to provide
tho necessaries of life. Judge E. C.
Dubois granted a decree.
Enter Hollis II. Huiiiiowoll, who at
once secured a marriugo license and
then hied himself to Greor cnttago,
where ho became the husband 0' Mrs.
Kemp, Judge Dubois performing tho
marriage ceremony. There wore eleven
guests present at tho wedding, live of
whom had been through the dlvorco
court How soon tho .-est will air their
soiled linen the Lord only knows.
Ono of tho most serious charges
against tho fashionable life is that It
in no way teaches or holds that marri
ago is a permauetit contract In tho
humbler homos tho separation of a
muu and woman is a tragedy. In
"society" it is often tho result of u
whim. In tho cottage a dlvorco means
tears and blooding hearts, aud sotnu
timet a deep and lasting sonso of dis
grace. In tho palace, madam intro
duces her now husband to tho cast oft'
arbitrary manners of a military court.
"To err Is human" and it is by no
means improbable that Carter will
win tho suit and thus vindicate him
self in tho oyes of tho ppoplo. Courts
martial aro notoriously affected in
their judgments byMssues which havo
no direct bearing on the caso they aro
trying.
Is it possiblo that Carter was tho
victim of a horrible mistake?
Do you wondor that humanity sneers
at the wisdom of courts aud tit tho in
tegrity of some of those who wear
judicial robes?
