THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.
Washington, Ind., June 19.—Some weeks ago members of the W. C. T. U. secured evidence against a number of saloons and information was duly lodged with the prosecuting attorney, and that official instituted proceedings. Subsequently tlie women were persuaded not to press the suits to have the saloon people fined, provided the latter would agree to be good and obey the law iu the future. This being all that the temperance people desired, they readily consented to the arrangement. Yesterday motion was made at the request of the women that the circuit court dismiss the suits against the repentant saloon keepers. Judge Houghton overruled the motion and addressed the petitioners, saying that it was hard find indictments against saloon keepers for violations of the liquor laws, and, since the women had been to so much trouble and given the matter so much notoriety, to come forward now and ask the court to dis miss the cases, he said, was making a request which the court could not grant without making a moekery of justice.

As the fruit of these declarations, Mrs. Woodgate asserts that Mrs. Beaupre began a systematic assault upon the loyalty of her husband, John O?' Woodgate, and finally succeeded.
