' MITKDKKBIVM \MKS WILLIAMS' NLA FA M LY J N TFNNFSSFF Government Men Find Hint After Years of Searching Colorado " Widow" Sought Pension for Ilusband No. '2 Killed in ho M ar. Nashville, Tcnn, dun 0 ? In 1S50 Jumes W illiamson, a youno man of a trood Minnesota family, impelled westward I?y tint desire of fortune, made Itis way to Colo* rado. lie found protitahle employment, and meetina girl with whom ho fell in love in the center of the state, married Iter. There was not a nturnier of funily infelicity, and they were pointed to hy their neighbors as an unusually happy couple. One morning, after several i years of married life, the husband kissed his wife ?jood bye and left j home, ostensivelv for a near-by town. He never reached his dvsti- i not ti >o luit <11 LH i \ i ion tool n o i f I li.i imiiiuii, i mi i un.i|'|ir,iirn 11 IIIU ' I I earth had swallowed him. The opinion was accepted, after r time, that Williamson had horn muidcred and rohhod by a gang of outlaws then operating in that section. Within a few works after the disappearance of the man, a hod> was found in a gulch beside the road over which Will iamson was supposed to have traveled, the remains, in u general wnv, answered the description of the missing man, the clothing being of the same pattern. Though the features were too badly decomposed to make identification positive, the remain* were given burial, and a grief-stricken woman followed the coflin to the grave A monument was erected nearing Williamson's name and inscription. In time the widow doffed her weeds. Presently alio married again, and started on her second matrimonial venture under plea* ing uM-piees The war came on, and the sound itushund joined the I'nion army. He served with honor, and died on the tiring line. 'l ears after the declaration of peace, the woman, being in reduced circunutanccs, made application for pension upon the strength of her second husband's service. The usual papers wore prepared, showing iho circumstance* as to the first marriage iinl Williamson's supposed death, and :dlidavits from the heat people ? f the little village. In passing through the pension bureau the tirst olliriuls approved ilit* application, t?ui when it reach* imI tli? Inst auditor tlicio was a hitch. lie - was impressed with the story of the wuinan and the disappearance of her husband. lie did not r'gard the former's story false, hut remembering the man* nor in which many cases of like character had terminated, ordered a close investigation. One of the best pension agents was sent to Colorado to look up the case. Williamson's relatives were located and traces of the tuan were found in Minnesota, where he had spent six years, finally leaving for this state. The clews were followed up, one after another, and the pension agents have now finally located their man in the respected head of a large family in good circumstance. The officer confronted Williamson with the charge of desertion and bigamy, hut ho was loud in his denunciations of the accusation as false. lie persisted in them until theofficer made thrcAts to bring the Colorado wife to Tennessee, when he wilted and confessed the entire story. The papers in the case were forwarded from the Nashville pen\ I i * Mi! bion office to Washington today. The pension will he refused upon the ground tnnt the applicant was not the legal wife of her second hushand. The discovery has caused a sensation in the Tonnes see community in which Williamson has resided for fifteen years, and his second wif'? is now prooaring to bring a suit for divorce. No explaii.ition is given as to why he abandoned his Colorado wife and home, hut the story goes to show the persistency and shrewdness of the pension otiice sleuths. Tho ease is hut one of many pension frauds unearthed in Nashville within tho past few months, though the pension applicant in this case was a sincere and injured woman.

When Miss Morrison had finish's! her speech, which she had rendered in a dramatic style, Attorney <i neral Donaldson made a demand that she lie held for carrying a pistol, and the ease was entered, but no bail or other formal court recognition nu^ accorded the action.
