colored, were burned to death
at their home* seren miles northwest

W. JILTED LOVER SUES.
d- He Wants $25,000 for Expenses and
Injured Feelings.
a~ Leicester M. Pond, a prominent
Spokane architect, is so piqued at
ie Miss Bessie Kelley. one of Poughkeepsie's
fairest society buds, because
l<* she jilted him after accepting his at18
tions and promising to marry him,
that he has sued his former sweetQ~
heart to recover $25,000. which
re amount he feels will heal his bleedtil
ing heart.
The news of the suit created a
m sensation in social circles when it
was announced. Miss Kelley's fathr
er. William J. Kelley. inherited
many thousands of dollars from the
M estate of his uncle, William W. Conle
neil, a wealthy recluse, who lived "
5e modestly and after his death was 1
found to have securities valued at I
Q" $3,000,000 in a box under his bed.
Mr. Pond is an architect and was
" formerly associated in business with
W. J. Beardsley, who drew the plans
for the state's new prison to replace
Sing Sing. Mr. Pond removed to
r~ Spokane, Wash., several years ago.
Mr. Pond has engaged Morscheuser
& Housradt. who are attorneys for
to Harry Thaw, to press his suit against
Miss Kelley.
Mr. Pond says that his engage}>
ment to Miss Kelley"cost him $2,500
9 for traveling expenses and gifts. He
Jn wants this money back. The balance
* of the $25,000 he is suing for is for
mortification, humilation. mental
grief and the ridicule and contempt
of his business associates.
q Miss Kelley's friends say she would ?
ie not marry Mr. Pond because upon .-e^
flection she could not bear to leave
ld her mother and go away out to the
y. State of Washington to live.
