Beth ladies appeared in court.
Tha moat interesting feature of the trial waa the
testimony of Mrs. J, Wood Pierce. Bhs is rather
handsome,* fair-faced, plump, gray-eyed woman of
abont 46. Hhe wae dressed in deep black, and told
haratzmight and simple story In a aad voice.
••I waa worn." said shs "in T«&na*scc. I moved to
Texas ia 1866, My first husband died in 1874
married J. Ward Pierce on the 10th of December,
1379. Ue was familiarly known as Wood Pierce.
By him I bed one child, Anna Lee Pierce, who ia
mow In tha court room. I saw him last about the
Brat of November, 1886. About thattime he left me
at our home in Menard, oounty, Texas.
Ue went to Georgia to sell stock which
ha had previously shipped. I heard from him at
BhreveporL 1 heard from him several times while
he was in Atlanta. In the first letter from this
place he eeut me a $50 bill. My husband could
wot read or write, lie never lived in Fort Worth.
During all onr married life he has never stayed
away from me longer than three months at any one
time. 1 heard of his death by telegram from Atlan
ta. I have aeen the body. I looked at it cloaely. 1
certain ia J. Wood Flare* my husband, who
hurled In Weet View cemetery.
“I recognized him by all hie features. Ue had
black hair, a black-brown beanl tinged with gray,
dark gray eyes. lie waa a large man, weighing
about 136 pounds.
“My h mbs ml .was born In Alabama in 1833. He
had no relatives in Indiana or Ohio.**
Judge Lochraue presented for Mrs. Weaver her
answer to this bill, as well as the answer of the
Weetview cemetery government The answer of
ttie oemetery company simply showed the infir*
maUon derived from the examination of the body
by partis* from Indlanepolla who identified it as
Bie body of J. P. Weaver, and represented Weaver
to be a man about 6 feet T Inches in height, with
dark curly hair, tinged with gray, about 45 years
•fail with a prominent forehead, and tnarka upon
tha body, particularly those of a platol abut he had
received in Indianapolis on the back of the neck
aad upon whioh the officers of the cemetery com
pany had agreed to deliver the body to Mrs.
Weaver, but before doing so had given written
notice to the counsel of Mrs. A. B. Fierce, and had
bo Interest ia the litigation.
The answer of Mrs. Weaver wae supported by
come twelve depositions, and tho presentation of
letters written by Weaver In hie lifetime. In hia own
handwriting. As to tha removal of tho body, the
answer of Mrs. Weever desired that the Injunction
should remain against the Weetview oemetery and
all persona from Interfering with the body or die.

While claiming the right to the body at Ihe proper
tUae, disclaimed all desire to remove, nnitl all Uti
gallon wae ended, tucludtng litigation with railroad
corporations. The find information Mrs. Weaver
had of the death of her husband wae a letter mailed
at Atlanta, enclosing an account of the railroad
accident, and also the business card of Weaver
while he waa an undertaker In Indianapolis.
It appeared further from the answer that Weaver
left Indianapolis in 1HH3 with a woman named Mrs.
Aden, and settled In Fort Worth, Texas, the same
point from which tha stock waa shipped to Atlanta;
that he took the name of J. W. Pierce, as shown by
hia own letters to bla wife, and on hia return to
Indianapolis two years ago he waa shot In the neck
by the husband of Mrs. Eden. That he returned to
Texas, and under the name of J. W. Pierre kept a
hotel a! Fort Worth. One of tho depositions, that
ef Miss Long, of Atlanta, showed her recognition of
the body a* being that of Pierce, whom she knew
In Fort Worth. Mrs. Weaver went to Texas in
August, 1884, and prosecuted him for living with
Mrs. Eden, whom he waa passing off aa lawful wife
In that city, and he was fined $l.ouu and costa.
When Mrs. Weaver came to Atlanta she brought
A Mr. Hodges with her, whose deposition was read.
An undATUker in Indianapolis, who, m company
with herself and others, exhumed the body and

The hanging of e white taau forkiUlug a while man

It wee in evidence that sixteen days after the

after comparing the earns with soma of J. Pierce
