Lexington, .lune ir>.-s. L. Rich ardson, the white man from West Onion, who has been confined In the jail here since November '?li, last year, was yesterday released from the jail a free man, his brother, 10. L. Richardson, of Greenwood, having arranged everything satisfactorily .with the banks and other Institutions from whom he Is alleged to have re eoelved money by varions methods and means. lt ls said that it took something like $lf>.000 to secure his release, and Richardson'.'1 brother, who is a young mail of pleasing ad dress and an ex-rep rosen tali ve in tho Legislature from Greenwood county und a man of seemingly powerful In fluence, has worked continuously on the case since the day bis brother was committed to jail. To him S. L. Richardson should he under lasting obligations for securing his liberty. The charge against Richardson was ?that he secured various sums of . non? y from different hanks In this !:U,tt< hy forging tile names of promi nent men to notes. The name of W. L. Drissey. known the State over as being the lumber king of Anderson county, and a man of considerable means, was used extensively. The .'Irst lo detect that these instruments H. re forged was the Citizens Hank of Ih'.tesburg, from which Richard son -? cured $ 1.000. NVxl was the Carolins National Hank of Columbia, from which he secured at one time ? 2,000 .md al another $1,000. lt ls ???ld that he secured several hundred lollara from tho Parino rs' Hank of Ventral, and also from an Augusta hank Besides securing this money, it is alleged, lie disposed of stock -.ind other valuables that were under mortgage. it is stated thal a number of otit is were ?aught in his trap, and that tad the matter not been settled other warrants were waiting for him. A peculiar circumstance connected with Richardson's career is the fact that br experienced little 'difficulty in se curing money from th? mks. Once he told his tah* and produced the notes the moue was forthcoming. "Ile told such a Btraight story that Chere was no thought of turning him town," said one ol' the hank cashiers soon after Richardson was arrested, and we would have let him have al most any amount he might have ask ?;d for." Anotlier strange coinci dence is that all of this money was secured within h'ss than 60 days. Richardson belongs to the relig ious sect known as the "Unknown rongue," and has conte; led from the first that ho would never bo tried, and that tho Loni would take caro of him and supply th?> needs of his family. He believes now that it was Mic work of (?od that brought him - ifely through, Instead of the work of his brother, il is said. Since be -. In Jail he has been visited by various persons from the upper part >t thc state all believers in the "Unknown Tongue." He has read tho Bible overy ?lay continuously and has prayed without ceasing. Dep uty Sheriff Miller saya that Richard en has been an Ideal prisoner. Ho ina not been sick a day during the entire period he lias been in Jail, iud left the picture of health. Ile would not partake of any hog meat :n?l was very careful about his diet. He would :?t i i nu's refuse io eal any thing for more than a day. ll?1 rofused lo tIn? las! lo have any thing lo say lo the new maper men for publication, although ho would .;..,!!; freely ca different topics; but '????fore he left he stati'il lo >our cor responden! that he wished to lh..Mk '.riff Colley and Deputy Kherih ' '1er for the Kind treatment, he had received al their hands, and thal he would remember them always for What they had done for him. Neither Richardson nor his bro ther would have Anything to say al* .it the future plans of the former, and they loft, supposedly, for their respective homes. It is rumored that i?. L. Richardson confided to some of his friends around tho jnil that he proposed to enter the evangelistic field. MRS. <.oi 1,1 > A BQQZB AKTIST ? ( ulled Hubby "Little Hound," and Also Drank to KXCPHM. New York, June 17. Torn with anger nud extreme bumlliatlon, alter nately (hinhing with shame, sobbing or clinching her hands in exaspera tion. Katherine dominons Gould sat through a trying ordeal In the Su preme Court at the continuation of her suit for separation against How ard Gould. Mr. Gould's attorney sought to bring out that Mrs. Gould's habits were such that her husband was Jus tified in leaving her. In the event of proving this, the defense hopes to undermine the charge of abandon ment,the only phase of the plaintiff's case which has yet withstood the at tacks of opposing counsel. Justice Dowling having ruled out tho charges of cruelty and non-support. .Mn?. Gould, having naively told what lt required of a woman of fash ion In the matter of dress at Palma Peach and elsewhere, witnesses for the defence recited the indulgence of tho same woman of fashion In the matter of alcoholic stimulants, and told further, while the heavily veiled Mrs. Gould burled her burning face In her hands, of certain remarks and conversations not exactly In keeping with $500 gowns and the palatial Castle Gould on Long Island. It was during this testimony con cerning some of the alleged violent and profane language, some of lt as related too strong to be printed with propriety, that Mrs. Gould wept most. Yet she recovered herself quickly and at times coached her lawyer, refreshing his mind on cer tain Incidents with suggestions and reminders. Specific statements that Mrs. Gould had been Intoxicated on vari ous occasions; that she called How ard Gould "you little hound" one night; that once she was apparently so under the Influence of liquor as to stagger against the banister at Castle Gould; that her maid brought liquors to her room, including some times two cocktails before breakfast, were among the statements brought out as employees of the Gould es tate reh'ted their experiences with their former mistress. Mrs. Gould's lawyer, Clarence J. Shearn. Injected Into the case the rather novel argument thai admit ting even that his client had been In toxicated, this should have strength ened rather than have weakened the ties between wife and husband. "lt has been held, he sahl, "that il a husband drank he needed the company of his wife more than if he were sober. Is not this equally true in the case of the wife?" Seven Dottles in Two Weeks? Verbal clashes with the manager o' ?he great estate, heated arguments at .he len coop with carpenters, one of whom testitled that "she couldn't walk straight" at the time, a period when she remained in her room for two weeks, consuming, during that time, seven bottles of brandy with other liquors--these Incidents and others were sworu to on the stand. Also, there was an account by a for mer steward of an exciting night, when, he said, she wanted the house locked, although Howard Gould was out on the front lawn. This was the night that Mrs. Gould is said to have called her husband "little hound." a term which she ap plied to him, as testified, after he had come to her room to see what the matter was, confusion having been spread through the great castle by the ringing of bells in Mrs.Gould's room and the burglar alarm system. While most of the testimony was against Mrs. Gould, one witness spoke In her favor. Ile. is Charles H. Da llis, of Glencove, L. I., who testified that in I0()i! and 1903 he did con siderable work on the Gould estate and saw Mrs. Gould frequently, He had never seen her Intoxicated, ho said, but at times knew she had been drinking because he "could smell her breath."

Richardson, a white man who formerly lived in Oconee county and who has been In jail at Lexington for some time on a charge of forg ery, has been released, bis relatives having secured a compromise of the cases against him. It. ls understood that they secured the compromises hy paying to the prosecutors the money that Richardson had obtained by his forgeries. Richardson now praises the Lord, failing to give bis relatives any credit for getting him out of jail, and announces that he will devote the re mainder of his life to the "service of the Master." He says he ls going to go to preaching, but says nothing about going to work to honestly earn enough money to pay buck to his relatives the money they have had tr pay out because of his forgeries. It will seem to old-fashioned peo ple, who look at things In a common sense way, that Richardson ls just about the last man that should be allowed to preach the gospel. He is calculated to do a great deal of harm. There are people who will be encouraged In wrong doing, in stead of kept from lt, by the specta cle of a known forger preaching from the pulpits without having made res. tltution for his sins, and without hav ing suffered punishment for them. They will argue ll? nt if the Lord took care of Richardson, He would also take care of them if they should acquire money by the unlawful use of other people's names. This is a free conn*.ry, and under our constitution a man is allowed to practice and preach any sort of re ligion that may happen to suit his fancy. Hut dishonest people should be punished; and when they are allow ed to go free through the influence of friends or relatives they should not be allowed to set themselves up as guides for others. To put such peo ple to preaching will bring religion, ol' .my kind, into disrepute. Richardson as a preacher of the gospel would do much harm, but as a man honestly acknowledging past mistakes and honestly trying to make restitution for them, he would com mand the utmost respect and would do a great deal of good. 8e?n tho j*Ttia ^ind Von Hara Always BougW Should .Not Be Patronized.

A battle between a bullfrog and a sparrow, which resulted In the death of both participants, was the novel sight witnessed In W. B. Powell's Illy pond, on West Broad street yester day, says a dispatch from Palmyra, N. J., to the Philadelphia Record. The pond was the frog's home, and when the bird alighted on Its.bank to get a drink of water thCVO was a flash of green and white and the next instant the bird was fluttering in the water. The sparrow's bill had pierced the frog's throat. The latter cou'd not drag the bird beneath the surface, nor could the sparrow free Itself, nor lift the frog, and the odd comh-t continued until first the bird, then the frog, died.

Arvonla, Va., June lt?.-A rather remarkable case of the petrification of a human body has just come to light in Buckingham county. Camm Patterson, lawyer, scholar, author, and politician, and one of the best known men of central Virginia, died at his home In Buckingham county about two months ago. His last re quest was that the body of his wife should he exhumed and hurled by his grave. Several days ago the body of Mrs. Patterson, buried nearly forty years ago, was disinterred, and through the glass case of the collin it was discovered that the body had been petrified. Those who saw the body were astonished at the absolute life- j likeness of the face. Not a feature was changed. Some years ago the body of a ; child was disinterred from the same | cemetery, and lt was found lo have been completely petrified. lt is thought thal the peculiar mineral properties of the soil In this place account for the p?trifications.
