Mrfc IKAlMiK S W STO A walk through a park with com panions from a girls' boarding school a meeting with an ardent admirer ir a park; a quick courtship and an engagement; unyielding objection to the match by the girl's father; an elopement through a window from the school; a hasty marriage and then? well then, an awakening to the fact that her husband was a safe blowet by profession. Did they live happily ever after? The husband, J. C. Moore, was shot to death at Trenton last Monday morning when he was in the act of blowing open a safe and the wife is a prisoner on the third floor of the Richland county jail. Mrs. Moore, who didn't care to give her maiden name when seen yesterday in the county jail, is a decided blonde of sturdy type. She says she is 20 years old and even after having undergone daring the past two days, close questioning at the hands of officers who have been endeavoring to procure information from her, she does not seem worn nor exhausted. She smokes incessantly, lighting one cigarette after the other and inhaling deeply almost all the smoke. There was no evidence of nervousness in her behavior yesterday but she had been i given opportunity to rest during thel day. Talks With Freedom. Mrs. Moore makes no objection to talking about her career with the man who met death at Trenton while blowing a safe. "I thought I loved him at first." she said, "but I know now there can be no real love unless there is re? spect. "You see, i was just a kid when I met him. I was attending a boarding school near Huntington, W. Va.. sev eral years ago, end the authorities would permit the-, girls to walk out through a park. "Once when we were in.the park I met Mr. Moore, I was juat a "kid and hft se?m?d very fond of me?hei -wM b pr'nee to me. He wanted me t5 rlo-o -ntfth him, hut I told him to ask rrv dad a^d he would give me to him, "T wis the youngest in the family whon he asked for me?he was susrvVious of him from the first. I was gVen out of school and was kept at home. "After some time I persuaded father to let me retrrn to school, and then me night I grot out of the window and wf>rit away with Mr. Moore. Since that time we have been in every state in the union, I suppose. For a good while I did not know what my husband did?see, I was young and ignorant. "He was a prince to me. Never spoke a cross word to me throughout our ncqupaintance and while I would sometimes get mad all over'and fly off, he was always kind and considerate. Wanted to Leave Him. "My husband was always kindness itself, but I wanted to leave him. I tried to make him jealous?would let him hear conversations over the telephone so that he would get made and leave. But he was so kind and considerate that I could not make up my mind just to quit him. "I really was the cause of his being arrested and serving time in Georgia One morning when we were in Columbus, Ga.. he came into my room and] laid $38,000 in cash and bonds on my i bed. "I took some of the bonds to Atlanta with which to buy some clothes. I was nfrnid to try to cash the $1,000 bonds so I tried my hand on one for $.r)00. It sold readily. I was all puffed up over my success; see, I was young and ignorant. Then I tried to cash more bonds, but these bonds had been legistered, and between my visits there had been some investigation. Word had reached the office to hold me in conversation if I came back to cash more bonds. So the clerk talked to me?tried to flirt?and when I came down in the elevator it seemed like the whole detective force of Atlanta was after me. I squealed then ?there didn't seem to be anything else to do. "So my husband was sent to the Georgia penitentiary on a 20-year sentence. He served two years of it-? you see. they kept changing him from cell to cell so rapidly that he could not get out. But he left the prison after two ye-irs and came to me in Augusta. "My husband came to me there? he did not upbraid me for squealing en h:m? said there was nothing else I cou'd do, I being a woman. I urged him to len"e town, told him the officers would surely be after him and to'd him I would let him know how things were. But I intended to bf somewhere else when he returned to Aneo's+a for me." Without any more emotion than a womm would display in showing how a dress was m?de, Mrs. Moore tolc] rf her husband's movementa; of ar accident that happened to the car ah? and he were riding in while in Columbia, of his having to go to bed foi % 'IFE TELLS RY ABOUT HER LIFE .

Hill of Round, while play-J ing around a grist mill last Satur-! ! day afternoon was caught on a shaft extension and whirled round and ; round, meeting instant death. This shaft was near the floor, and in some manner the little boy, who was in the mill house with a little companion, got near enough to have h's sleeve caught, it is thought, and this pulled him towards the shaft. The arm was then wrapped round the swiftly revolving shaft and he was whirled over and over. He could not be re leased until the engine was stopped.

What hap-; pened at Trenton is well known. "He always had confidence in me and kept nothing from me." When asked what disposal was made of bonds and stamps, Mrs.! Moore said, "New cards would be got-1 ten for the war saving stamps and i they would be put on these new cards.; I If the bonds were registered, they,1 were destroyed. If not registered,i 1 they could be disposed of with con- j siderable ease, "Once after we had been away fronii Columbus, we returned and found the. house we had occupied had been burn-| ed down.

So I am just going to see how things here turn out and i do not care to give my maiden name.' Mrs. Moore said her husband usui t'.ally worked alone though she said he ' had accomplices on certain jobs which | I were large.

Extreme ; confidence that the soldiers' bonus bill would be passed by the house before j sundown tomorrow was expressed today of Republican leaders in charge of the lcgislat ion. The last preliminary' step to the presentation of their program wa ; taker, today with the adoption by the rules committee of a resolution making tomorrow suspension day and setting four hours ... ,...v v/. n-.n.u minuter lor debarp. This resolution was to be presented when the house convened at 11 a. m. tomorrow, an hour ahead of the usual time. Democratic lenders planned to make a d< termined fight against the ?eso!utioii but the Republicans were satisfied that it would obtain the necessary majority for its adoption. With the adoption of the rule. Speaker Gillett was expected to recognize Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee for a motion to suspend the rules and pass the bonus bill. A two-thirds majority would be necessary to suspend the rules and pa3s the bill but?it was stated on ail sides that far more than this majority would he obtained. Reading supporters of the measure did not expect the total votes against it to exceed 75 while some opponents said the negative vote probably would not go beyond SO Under a suspension of the rules the hill could not be amended in any particular nor could opponents offer a motion to recommit with instructions to the ways and means committee to make changes in the measure. Democratic leaders in their flight on the resolution for suspension planned to lay emphasis upon this .situation. They expect the minority membership to vote almost solidly against the resolution and counted on some support from the Republican side.
