[Copyright, I'm, by Charles B. L*wl».]
In relating tho particulars of this
story I shall <lo exactly what I do not
wish to do—east a doubt upon convic
tion under circumstantial evidence—but
yet the history of a crime, especially
when a woman is concerned is always
interesting to tho goneral reader. At
raro intervals an innocent person has
suffered disgrace, imprisonment and
even death for tho crime of another.
This is ono of tho rare instances. It
should have no influence on the verdict
of a juror, r.or should it cast the slight-

eet reflection on the law and its ways of
measuring out justice. When a crimi
nal has had a fair and impartial trial by
jury, when his lawyers have exhausted
all the privileges granted to one on trial,
when 12 reputable and fair minded men
have biwught in a verdict of “guilty as
charged," that ought to settlo the mat
ter for all of ns.
For more than 20 years James Rivers
nad lived in the village of Colon in Iowa.
In approaching the village from tho
sontli his was tho first dwelling you
came to. It stood back from the street
sbont 100 feet and was surrounded by
fruit trees. The house was a frame, be
ing an upright, with an “L” to it. Three
years before I saw the village or heard
of the family Mrs. Rivers died. There
was a daughter of 20 years old. who was
away teaching school, and she had to
come home to keep house for her father.
The name of thisi yonng woman was
Eunice, and even before her mother was
bnried and on the day of the funeral she
spoke bitterly of her father and said he
would marry again within a year.
* Everybody who knew the family knew
that Ennico and her father had not been
in accord for years. It hod been common
talk for years that he was harsh and
crnel to his wife, and he wonld not have
consented to the daughter going away
but for the fact that it lightened his ex
penses. Rivers bought wheat, wool and
prodnee for shipment to Chicago and
was snppossd to bo well of.
My first knowledge of the village and
the family occurred three years after
Mrs. River*) death. I then had business
■with Mr. Rivers direct. A railroad had
been surveyed through a piece of land
owned by him, and my errand waa to se
cure the right of way; He waa away in
the country when I called, and I made
an appointment for a later hoar. I found
Eunice courteous enough, hut it struck
me tflat her natural disposition was sub
ky and obatlnate. 8he waa very plain
faced, and during the 15 minntes I was
ta the hotue she did not change here*
preaeion. I mean her face did not light
np as the talked, nor at any time was
there a semblance of a smile. The fur
niture waa scant and old fashioned, and
had I not heard all about Mr. Rivers be
fore calling I should have put him down
aa panin\pnions. This call was made at
4 o'clock one September afternoon,
was to repeat it at half past 7 in the
evening. I returned at that hour, which
is evening at that season, and found ths
front door partly open. There waa nei
ther bell nor knocker, and while I was
looking about I heard voices from the
family sitting room. There was some
thing irritating, oven to me, in Mr. Riv
era' voice as ho said:
“You will obey me, or I will turn you
out of doors and disown you!"
“Just ns you threatened mother a hun
dred times!'' she replied. “I am ready
to go, however. I lutve come to hate
yon! I with you were dead!"
There was a bitterness in tho daugh
ter’s voice I cannot describe, but I lad
no thought of murder. There wonld
have been more conversation, bnt 1
knocked londly on the door, and Eon ice
came and admitted me., I saw no more
of her that evening, though I was in the
house for an hour. I found Rivers n
hard man to deal with—so grasping and
avaricious that we could come to no
terms—and I finally went away, saying
I wonld call again. 1 left the village
that night and did not return for four
weeks.
Oaring that Interval, ai afterward
sworn to by various persons, Eunice
packed her things to leave the boose and
her father detained her by force. She
escaped from the house by night, and he
overtook and brought her bock. She
said to three different persons that she
wished she hod the pluck to kill him.
On the limb of a cherry tree in the yard
was a corn cotter which had been made
out of an old scythe blade. One day a
neighbor woman saw Eunice sharpening
this implement on a grindstone at the
back door. A peddler who stopped at
carried a
tr.ted over it so long that I said good
night and went away.
Two days later they had a big sensa
tion in the village. Mr. Rivers was
found dead in his room np stairs, and
Eunice was m'ssing. The man had been
attacked with the old corn cutter and
his head terribly ent and gashed. There
were abont a dozen cuts in all, and tho
doctors testified that he had livod for two
or three hours after receiving them,
though probably unconscious oil that
time. So far as could be determined
there had been no robbery. Mr. Rivers
did business with the village bank and
never kept much money in the house.
There wasn't tho slightest doubt in any
one’s mind that Eunice had killed him
and fled. A search waa begun, and aft
er a week or so she was found in a vil
lage a hundred miles away and brought
back. She had expended her last sbil-
ling to get os far away as possible. When
told of the crime, ehe expressed no great
surprise, and when charged with it she
contented herself with a simple denial.
She stated that when her father came
home that night he said. the wedding
would take place in two weeks. This re
sulted in a quarrel, and though she did
not threaten to leave she resolved to go
that very night. The last she saw of
him he was going to the barn to see to
the cow.
I desired to keep clear of the case and
succeeded in doing so as far as the pre
liminary examination was concerned.
When she was placed on trial for her
life, I was called as one of the 80 or 40
witnesses against her. Perhaps I did
wrong, bnt I am free to say that I made
it as light for her as I possibly could. I
fully and firmly believed her guilty of
the crime, but I pitied her. There was
not one single witness for the defense.
All the testimony and overy circum
stance was against her, and her lawyers
had no hope from the start. It was, as
you must see, a case of circumstantial
evidence pure and simple. She had
mado certain statements and threats;
there had been repeated quarrels; she
had been seen sharpening the corn cut
ter; she had fled from the scene of the
crime. I argued that she had committed
the murder just before I called, which
accounted for tho perturbed state In
which I fonnd her, bnt I made no men
tion of this in my testimony.
Hot once daring the trial did it occur
to me that I had seen a man running
away from the house that night. At no
time did the defense attempt to throw
the crime on anybody else, nor was
there any testimony as to the condition
of the doors and windows, except the
front door, which had been found shut,
but not locked, by the neighbors who
first entered on the premises. The trial
was a matter of form, but yet the jury,
for some reason they could not explain
themselves, recommended the convicted
to mercy, and she was sent to prison for
life. She shed no tears and expressed no
regrets. Had she gone to the gallows
she wonld have carried tho samo de
meanor. As I read her mind she had
long looked upon her life as a failure.
As a child sho had met with nothing bnt

ing for an hour or two, and before going
to bed 1 wrote a letter to tho constable
at Colon who discovered tho body of Mr.
Rivers as he went through the house.
The man waa no longer an officer, as
it turned out, bnt ho remembered every
thing connected with the case and gave
me the information I wanted. Mr. Riv
ers had ihe back bedroom ujj stairs.
When tho body was found, ono of the
windows was open, and a ladder lay on
the ground beneath; This had not been
brought out at tho trial. When they ar
rested Eunice, they searched for the old
corn entter, bnt could not find it. A
year after sho was sent to prison it was
found in a potato field a quarter of a
mile away. Henderson, the convict,
waa right in saying Rivers had wronged
many people. Ho had foreclosed on a
dozen different citizens of the village,
and among them was Henderson’s fa
ther. When I had finished reading tho
letter, I sent for my “trusty” and said:
“John, we were talking about that
tragedy at Colon, you remember? You
were right in saying Eunice Rivers did
not kill her father. The murderer was
the son of a man ho hod wronged. Ho
entered the honso by moans of a ladder
and a chamber window, probably intend
ing nothing bnt robbery, but meeting
Rivers unexpectedly and being armed
with an old corn cutter ho had found in
the back yard be committed murder.
The man flushed up and then grew
pale as I talked to him. He stood for a
moment after I had concluded, eyes cast
down and fingers working nervously,
and then quietly replied:
Yes, sir, that was probably the way
of it; hut, you eeo, it is too late now.”
I knew that John Honderson was the
murderer. 1 knew it for two long years,
but we made no further reference to the
^^■It wasn’t in reason to ask him to
confess and go to the gallows, no matter
how sorry he felt for the girl. Ono day
while I was away from the prison a bad
tempered keeper took occasion to vent
his petty spito on Henderson, who re
sented it, and there was a row, and he
was mortally wounded. I returned sev
eral hours before he died. When I had
expressed my regrets at the unfortunate
circumstance, ho asked me to fetch a
notary public and witnesses and qnietly
added, “I want to confess that I killed
Rivers, and that will let poor Eunice go
tree.”
Ho made a fall and complote confes
sion. Ho planned a robbery to get even,
bnt had to kill Rivers to get away from
him. He fonnd the corn entter sticking
into a log as he prowled around the
bonse, and he threw it away where it
was afterward fonnd. In leaving the
premises ho saw me on tho veranda. He
at once loft the town, fearing ho would
be suspected, hut returned when he read
in the papers that Eanice had been ar
rested. He said there were at least a
dozen blood spots on the suit of clothes
ho wore in court and that ho must have
left a bloody mark on every rung of the
ladder as ho went down. All eyes were
directed the one way, however, ami all
people were determined on proving the
crime against the girl. Six weeks after
Henderson's confesidon Eunice Rivers
was set free. She was only 28 years old,
but she had wrinkles and gray halm and
a stooping form. She did notjrejoice
She did not say sho was glad. She did
not even express her thanks. Sho sim
ply walked ont and on and on until lost
to tight, and from that day to this no
ons who knew her as Eunice Rivers has
teen or heard of her.

gtnees. As a girl her plain face and lack
of cultivation kept her out of society.
She saw nothing in the future to give
her hope, and she did not seem to care
what disposition was made of her life.
Ennico River* had been in prison five
years and her case had been forgotten
ontsido of the little village of Colon
when I was appointed assistant warden
at Joliet. About six months previously
a convict named John Henderson had
been received from Chicago for assault
with intent to kill. He was a big, burly
fellow, stout aa an ox and ready to take
desperate chances, and had been pun
ished in some manner abont once a week.
At that date no’ convict was allowed
"good time,” and It was looked upon aa
a loss of dignity for a prison officer to
nse moral suasion. I was warned to look
ont for Henderson as a dangerous man,
and the warden instructed me to shoot
him down without hesitation if he at
tacked me. I was prejudiced against the
man before I had seen him, bnt as soon
as I pat eyes on him I was agreeably
surprised. He had a kind, frank face,
and I at once concluded that he could be
reasoned with much easier th»n be could
be commanded.
To the disgust of my fellow officers
and the surprise of many convicts I took
this coarse with him, and after a few
weeks he was known aa the most docile

Topeka, Kan., Aug. 11.—The women
of Kansas have become poteht factors
in politics, and have made such a de
termined stand that'they will stay.
Some of the old-timers look upon this
innovation with distrust, believing
that there will follow an overturning
of conventional methods. Others ap
pear to welcome the change, profess
ing to believe that the political pud
dles will hereafter contain clearer wa
ter.
The political women of Kansas may
bo divided into three classes, in each
of which there nre found considerable
numbers, all anxious to assert tbe.r In
dividuality. There la the mildly per
suasive woman, gentle, yet Insistent
and determined, ready at all times to
take up the gage of battle for her sex,
but careful not to irritate the sterner
sex at the wrong time. She Is politic,
full of cunning, not above deceiving
the men tq little things, but honest os
the day la long. In this class may be
placed Mrs. Laura M. Johns and her
followers, women long ago trained by
Helen M. Gouger, who has attained
national fame. They quote Lucy, Stone
and Susan B. Anthony, but believe
that they have a better understanding
of the situation than either or them.
These are the women who so worked
upon the susceptibilities or the legisla
tors that they at last consented to sub
mit an amendment to the people to be
voted upon at the next general elec
tion. giving the right of full suffrage if
adopted. They have even secured ac
tion in the state platforms of two of
the political parties Indorsing tbclr de
mands. They nre shrewd enough to
confine their work during the conven
tions to the committees on resolutions,
knowing that. If they could only come
before the main bodies with (be in
dorsement of those committees, their
enemies wonld be compelled to remain
silent for policy’s sake.
They have, in alt the work that they
have done In the various causes which
they have championed, kept this ques
tion of suffrage uppermost and always
before tho people. They took part in
the last campaigns ostensibly in the
merest of their parties, but in reality
to weave their.web still more tightly
about the unsuspecting men. They
have no use for men; that Is, the
leaders have not. One of them
marked, a few years ago, and she is
and was at that time a married wo
man, that “all men are dogs, with
brutish instincts, not to be trusted.'
She has been too politic to make the
statement of her belief from the plat
form, for there her words are honeyed.
singers of the suffrage movement be
long to It. At least It is only among
these women that are to be found
those who use their voices In musical
notes of -praLe when recounting the
blessings that will surely come when
the women have been placed In con
trol of the government and Its police
powers. They have but little to say
about the elevation of their sex. They
believe that the only thing needed Is
th opportunity and the relaxing of the
reins row held by the tyrants who
have so long kept them In slavery.
The campaign will be carried on
within the Republican and Populist
parties In spite of the efforts of the
leaders who have committed them
selves to this movement, though per
sonally they are opposed to It. There
Is yet a question as to whether the
women outside of the few who make
their living In such movements want
suffrage. They have not yet shown
any great amount of enthusiasm, but
there Is yet plenty of time to work
It up. The state Is being prepared for
the campaign, and the representative
women of each of tho types will work
as they have never work before. It
Is possible that they will be os success
ful with the people at large as they
are with the members of the legis
lature. They may not osrry their
point, but they promise to make life
a burden for those who oppose them,
and no one doubts that they can do so.

it was for Eunice. Before my return a

Rivers on the street in the forenoon, and
he made an appointment to come to the

ate his rapper, had a few choree to do

The next el**,, numbering very many
of the stale workers, la composed of
women vigorously aggresalgc. prelent
ing a bold front, and determined to
1>eat down all opposition. Mrs. Mary
Ellen Lease and Mrs. Anna L. Pigg'a
may be taken as representatives of
this particular class. They have ideas,
either borrowed or original, which they
place before those v.ho arc fortunate
enough to be in their audieneo in auch
shape that oppotltlon is mental rather
than expressed. They, too, have but
little respect for the men »o whom they
appeal, but they content themselves
with denouncing only those of other
political faith than th'cir own.
These women have acquired Influ
ence. not bo much because of their per
suasive power, as because of the skill
with which they have directed the
minds of the large claa* of dissatisfied
men. They and their imitator* have
been shrewd enough to talk to th*
majority and have been wise enough
to discern what th* majority thought
they wanted. In this manner they
have led, and to them has been ac
corded their leadership lu the new
party, to wtiich most of them belong.
Glib of tongue, possessing assurance,
they have beep enabled to make a
profession of politics. Home of them
are loud-voiced end bold. They will
not brook opposition, and while they
work in the interests of parly, that
party must espouse their cause or late
their service*, which they now realize
have become valuable to the candidate
who would win, and there 1* an im
pression that every candidate haa this
desire.
These women, that is, this particular
class, have formed political mtsocia-
toins, presumably at auxiliaries to the
party they favor, but in reality to di
rect and control the committees that
direct party movements. They look
with scorn upon the unaided efforts
of men, and do not attempt to conceal
tbclr feelings. Of course, the men look
with complacency upon all these exhi
bitions of tbe other sex, and console
themselves with th* thought that veat-
porket votes will even up all things,
and that they can still claim to have
been loyal to thou* who have been prey
ing for full privileges, though thrlr
prayers have at times sounded wonder
fully Ilk* commands.
Tbe third class, which Includes all
net enumerated in th* oth*e two, ta
composed of vindictive, vituperative
women, who hold that there Is no
