ALLEGED POISONER I
TELLS HER STORY
Mis. Phares on Trial For Hus-
band’s Murder.
TAKES STAND IN OWN DEFENSE.
Admits. Authorship of Love Letters to
Tayloi—Theory of Defense Is that
Phares Committed Suicide Because
of Long Illness.
Mount Holly, N. J., July 4.—'Mrs. An
na £. Pharee, accused of having mur
dered her husband, Albert Phares, by
poMcn, because of her affection for
Garfle’d' Taylor, took the witness stand
Wednesday in her own defense. Many
women were present to listen to her
testimony.
She was very calm and gave her
testimony without the slightest trace
of nervousness. She declared that
during their married life she had never
quarreled with her husband, their only
ditrercuces having been about the chil
dren. Being a member of the Union
Mechanics and a constable, her hue
band was away at night very often,
she said, and had requested Garfield
Taylor to remain at the house with
her. He paid his first visit there
about three years ago.
The week before Albert’s death,
Mrs. Phares said she went to Trenton
with her children, having had trou
ble with her husband. By request of
Taylor she met him at Burlington the
next cay, March 7. They went to
Camden and stopped two days with
Jennie Moore. While there Taylor
wanted her to marry him, but she re
fused. He said he would marry her
if he had to go through fire and water.
In explanation of her Trenton letter
to Taylor, which was signed “Your
•tfife and sweetheart, Nan,” she said
she had used this language because
Taylor had signed his letters in a sim
ilar manner and she was imitating him-
The expression that she would go
through fire amd water for Taylor, she
said, was in reciprocation of similar
statements made by Taylor to her.
Mrs. Phares had just begun to de
scribe the illness of her hueband on
the Saturday before his death when
the court adjourned.
The greater par-, of the day was
occupied by the concluding evidence
for the prosecution. Garfield Tay
lor, on cross-examination, said he lov
ed Mrs. Phares and that he had cried
at her feet. He would not admit
that he had threatened to break up
Albert Phares’ home., or that he had
said, while at the residence of Miss
Moore in Camden, "Nan, I v/Al have
you if I have to wade through fire and
water."
James L. Jamison, a justice of the
peace of Mouat Holly, told of a state
meat made to him by Mrs. Phares im
mediately affcer her arrest. She said
that when she purchased the strych
nine which figures in the case, she
obtained some brown tablets from Dr.
y llO P u t them in an envelop,
on me way home they fell to the bot
tom of the carriage and became crush
ed by her stepping on them while get
ting out to purchase a bag of corn. This
made a lumpy mass, a par-, of which
sne said she gave to her husband in
the presence of Harry Burr. The
latter testified on Monday to having
seen Mrs. Phares give her husband
two brown tablets that were lumpy.
John B. Townsend, a farmer by
whom Taylor was formerly employed,
testified that Mrs. Phares sometimes
came to his place and helped Taylor
milK :he cows and assisted him with
other work. Townsend said he was
surpiifed one morning when he went
downstairs at 5 o’clock at seeing Mrs.
Phares sitting b ythe kitchen stove.
She had staid at the farm house, she
said, because she could not get in her
own home
In opening the defense Lawyer Budd
said he would prove that continued
illness had given Phares a motive to
commit suicide. He said Mrs. Phares
burnea the strychnine because Sam
uel Gilbert had threatened her with
troutle if anything happened to Phares
and s!.e was afraid he would find ths
poison.
SLEUTHS' GOOD RECORD.
Secret Servcie Men Give Counterfeit
ers No Mercy.
Washington, July 4. —The annual re
port of John E. Wilkie, chief of the
United States secret service, whicn
was made public Wednesday, shows
that the government sleir.hs have
kept pace with the counterfeiters.
The arrests for counterfeiting dur
ing the year were 424, of which New
York furnished 54, Pennsylvania 42
and Alissouri 47. The total arrests in
1902 were 573.
The 1 ogus rotes captured amounted
to 114.211.90. The counterfeit coin
representing $15,479.11. The molds
for making bogus coin seized last
year numbered 412. In 1902, when
nearly as much counterfeit coin was
seized, only 168 molds were captured.
These figures show improvement in
the service.

POLITICS CAUSED MURDER.
■ Clayer of Texas State Comptroller Ac
cused Victim of Trafficking.
I Dallas, Tex., July 4.—The letter
| handed to States Comptroller Love,
j at Austin, by E. W. Hill, the dismissed
j department clerk, before he killed
; Love, was made public Wednesday. It
i shows politics was at the bottom of
the slaying. The letter follows:
i Austin. Tex., June, 19U3. —Colonel
R. M. Loire, Comptroller—-Dear Sir:
Public office 1« a public trust. Public
, offices are created ror the services
of the people, and not the aggrandize
ment a few individuals. The prac
tice of bartering department clerk
sMps for private gain is a disgrace to
i the public service, and In this nefart
ous traffic you are a record-breaker.
You have robbed the state's em
ployee, and your incompetent admin
, Istnation has permitted others to rob
the state. The man who, claiming
to be a Christian, deprives others of
employment is a hypocrit and a ty
rant. If the host at Democratic spolls
men-pollticians of this state of the Mr-
Gougney, Robbins,, Sebastian, Round-
J tree type, had such a thing about them
ae a conscience in a healthy state of
( aotivlcy they ceuld not look a Repub
lican in the face without blushing.
“The greatest mind that ever gave
its wisdom to the world, the wisdom
almost capable of umpiring the mu
tiny b-*tween right and wrong, said:
'You take my life when you do take
; from me the means by which I live.
If that be true, you are a murderer
of the deepest crimson hue. Although
I cannot help m-ystelf before laying my
life's burden down, I shall strike a
j blow, feeble though It be, for the good
of ihy deserving fellow-man.
For the right against the wrong,
for the weak against the strong.
Yours truly, W. G. HiFI.”
When Love went into office as
comptroller general in 1901, Hill, who
had been a clerk in the department
for 14 years, was one of the employes
dismissed to make room for a politi
cal supporter.
INFLUENCED RICH MAN.
Woman Sued for Wheedling Him Oul
of Fortune.
Ch’cago, July 4.—Jonathan Clark,
a noted contractor, who died in 1902,
left an estate of $2,500,000. In the
circuit court Tuesday his sons and
daughters united in a petition to have
Caroline Patterson removed as trus
tee and to compel her to give an ac
counting for $400,000 which they as
sert the obtained by wrongful influ
ence over their father.
They charge that in 1880 their fath-
I er met Caroline Patterson, a poor
i school teacher. He became Infatuat
i ed with her. She moved within a
I block cf the home of his wife and
family. She became his confidential
s adviser. In 1891 a son was bom and
. Miss Patterson obtained realty valued
■ at $200,0( j from Clark.
I It Is alleged that Caroline Patter
son appropriated from 1891 to 1892
i his entire income, amounting to $50,-
. 000 or $60,000 a year. About the time
of his death it is said Miss Patterson
concealed or destroyed all of the books
of account and entry relating to Clark’s
business.
' $5,000,000 FOR FIELD MUSEUM.
' Unofficial Statement that Chicago May
Spend that Sum.
Chicago, July 4.—Although no of
ficial announcement has been made,
the South Park commissioners have
' been informed that instead of $1,000,-
' 000, which Marshall Field originally
’ intended to spec.! on the Field Co
lumoian museum in Grant park, the
' sum would be five times that amount.
c9ie bill authorizing tne museum in
the park became a law Wednesday,
and the South Park commissioners are
making plans for what they say will
be the finest museum in the world.
Since the legislature passed the bill
Mr. Field has confided to several of
1 his f’iends that he would spend
$5,J10,000 on the new museum.
)
Four Lynchings In Six Months.
Jackson, Miss., July 4.—The record
1 for the first six months of the year 1903
■ shows that Mississippi is not reducing
■ her percentage of mob violence acts,
although during the first four months
of the annual period the state achiev
ed an excellent record in this respect,
only one lynching having occurred
from the first of January to the first
of May. The total number of per
sons killed by mobs to the first of
July was nine, but five of this number
' were negroes win were killed in Smith
■ county in an uprising against the
I white:! The actual lynchings were
I only i'jtir in number.
Why They Were Removed.
Washington, July 4. —Inquiry at the
1 postoffice department elicitei the in
formation that three employes of the
I postoffice at Mobile were removed on
1 June 25. B. B. COx ami James t.
• Peterson were charg d with collecting
; money from other employes for politi
1 cal purposes, for improperly handling
civil service examination papers, and
for false statements before postoffice
