Tacoma Society Woman Missive
Shows Minister's Ability to
Write Ixjvo Letters.
TACOMA, Wash.. April 16. (Special.)
Mrs. Olive Barnhisel was the stellar
witness in her own defense In the Su
perior Court today in the divorce suit
brought against her by .Rev. Arthur
II. Barnhisel, former pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church. The court
room again was packed with well-
known society people and several so
cially prominent were called as wit
nesses for Mrs. Barnhisel to dispute
Tier husband's assertions that she was
extravagant. Incidentally, a letter
written by Rev. Mr. Barnhisel was read
to show that he was a. past master
himself at writing love letters, as well
as his wife, whose skill he said "would
melt a stone statue."
Mrs. Barnhisel's assertions were that
her husband seeks a divorce because
she refused to turn over to him
her real estate holdings" and, second,
because he has been unduly Influenced
by the teachings of the New Thought
cult. During the course of her tes
timony, Mrs. Barnhisel described in de
tail her attitude toward the church,
stating that after Rev. Mr. Barnhisel
came to the First Presbyterian Church
here she made 20 to 30 calls a week
and gave a reception to which none
but church members were invited.
"Richest Not Most Active."
Asked as to her husband's preference
s the character of the people she
Khould mingle with, Mrs. Barnhisel
said:
"We were both interested in all
classes of people, but the weakness in
the church was that the richest mem
bers were not the most active. It was
a big church, but not a strong one.
He wished me to get the influential
members to be active, a worthy move.
I think."
She denied she ever had any social
ambitions or any desire to float among
the 400. Once when there was a physi
cal encounter between them, she said.
Rev. Mr. Barnhisel wept and took her
in his arms, saying, "I am not good
enough to live with anyone.'
-too Asked About.
One of the features of the day was
Attorney Murray's effort to get a defi
nition, under oath, of Just what is
meant by Tacoma's 400.
"What do you understand by the
firm, 'the 400'? he asked of Mrs. B. O,
Skewis, wife of a well-known lumber-
. man.
"Oh. probably the members of the
Country Club," answered Mrs. Skewis.
"As a matter of fact, isn't it the set
you move In?"
"I really can't say," answered. Mrs.
Bkfiwis, with a smile.
Mrs. Walter M. Harvey was asked if
she ever had any conversation with
Rev. Mr. Barnhisel relative to h
wife's learning to dance.
"Yes, Mr. Barnhisel told me that he
-was extremely fond, of dancing and
said he wished we could get Mrs.
Barnhisel to dance," replied Mrs. Har
vey. She was always very sweet
about it. but said she was not at all
interested in dancing."
"Did you ever have any conversation
with Mr. Barnhisel as to inducing his
wife to take a drink of wine?" asked
Attorney Langhorne.
He I. lived It, She Says.
It is the custom with us to take a
cocktail with our dinner, or directly
before It. Mr. Barnhisel took his." re
plied Mrs. Harvey. "He said: I like
these things.' Mrs. Barnhisel didn't
like it. He said: We'll get Mrs. Barn
hisel to take these things yet." Of
course we did not take much," she
added.
Rev. Mr. Barnhisel's ability as
Writer of love letters is shown by the
following offered by the defense and
written August 27, 1905:
1 ou dear, sweet girl: Dr. Uault
tells me there are two letters for me
at the house and- C am to be there with
Km ma. this afternoon about 3. 'Tis
dinner time now. I am hoping that
something may be from your dear self.
I'm 'as lonesbme as an owl and as
lopsided as a man who is waiting for
the only girl in the World to come and
brace hiin up. I'm going to hunt, up
your picture today and have it next to
jne and think lovely things.
"I hope you are having your quiet
nd restful time. Many people inquire
and send love. Mrs. Matson said last
night that she thought you a model
wife for such a position and spoke
'ciuite heartily of your sense and tact,
bhe don't know how I love you and
what a lovely sweet girl you are in a
, thousand ways the World never
knows.
"Well try harder, the strength that
, comes from patience and happiness,
and in loving. I am yours always.

GLYNN SIGNS BANK BILL
Xcw Vork Governor Iauils New Law
as Best in ITnion.
ALBANY", X. T., April 16. "In my
opinion. New- York now has the best
banking law of any state in the Na
tion." Governor Glynn said today, in
announcing he had signed the Van
Tuvl commission bill. The bill radical
lv revises the banking laws and places
private bankers under the jurisdiction
of the superintendent or DanKs.
Under the provisfons of the new
statute state banks and trust com
panies are to become members of the
Federal reserve bank in New York. In
many respects, the state laws are
made to conform with recent Federal
banking ' legislation. Credit unions
and a land bank may be formed to as
sist farmers in obtaining loans, small
loan brokers are placed under more
strict supervision and the Superin
tendent of Banks has broader powers
to investigate violations of the law.
The Governor announced his inten
tion to sign the .companion bill, le
siitned to provide for the formation of
co-operate credit unions. .
ROSEBURG, Or., April 16. (Special.)
As a climax to a feud of many years"
standing. Morrison Campbell killed his
enighbor, John Becker, this morning
at about 6:30 o'clock in at quarrel over
the grazing of cattle on a piece of pas
ture land. ertain phases of the trag
edy, the officers say, point to cold
blooded murder. Oiie shot pierced the
left breast and two penetrated the
back.
The crime was committed near
Cleveland, 11 miles west of here, on
Becker's land. ' t was nearly noon be
fore the neighbors of Becker who found
his body realized lie had. been shot.
They supposed at first that he had
died from heart trouble, although blood
poured and gushed from the mouth.
The Coroner was the first to discover
the bullet ..wounds after reaching the
cene.
Campbell Surrenders) Himself.
Meanwhile Campbell, according to
his own statement, went to his home.
put his revolvei, a small weapon of .38
caliber, away upstairs and walked to
Roseburg. He arrived here at 12:30
clock and waited at Sheriff uine's of
flee until the "atter came. Then he
told his story, the first information that
anyone in Roseburg had that a mur
der had been committed.
He said that Becker had been In the
habit of pasturing his cattle on a piece
rented land, between which and a
plot belonging to Campbell there is no
ivision fence. He met Becker at the
gate, he said, and told him not to turn
his cattle onto the land, as they ran
over his own property.
Becker, according to Sampbel s story.
said:
"I am going home to get a gun."
When Becker had gone about 20 feet,
he turned and grabbed Campbell's arm.
Campbell says that they scuffled for
several minutes, and that, to fre
himself, he fired three shots, ono of
which took effect. Campbell seemed
cool and calm in making his state
ments.
All Three Shot Took KITec.
Coroner Jewett. who will hold an in
quest in the morning, says that li
found out from the neighbors that the
feud is an old one. He also found that
all three shots had taken effect in
Becker's body, two of them penetrating
through the back. In his opinion
Campbell's story does not fit the evi
dence entirely.
The victim is survived by a wife and
five children, the oldest of which is
12. He also has a brother.
Campbell is 63 years of age, and has
wife and an adopted daughter. He
said to be a man of hot temper,
and once before had some slight trou
ble, when he was operating a ferry
for the county.
There were no eye-witnesses to the
tragedy, and the evidence, outside of
Campbell's own story, will be circum
stantial. Although some of the neigh
bors thought they had beard five shots.
the chambers of the revolver proved
that only three had been fired.
County Attorney Brown, who was in
Portland en route to IOastern Oregon
n behalf of his candidacy for the
Attorney-Generalship, wired tonight
le would return at once tb assist in
nvestigating the case.
Joyful Anticipation
of Motherhood
There in apt to be a latent apprehension
ef distress to mar the complete Joy of
expectation. But
this is quite over
coma by the advice
of so many women
to use "Mother's
Friend." This Is an
external application
designed to eo lubri
cate the muscles and
to thus so relieve the
pressure reacting on
the nerves, that
natural strain upon the cords and lltra-
ments is not accompanied by those severe
pains said to cause nausea, morning sicfe
ness and many local distresses.
Many people believe that those remedies
which have stood the test of time, that
have been put to every trial under the
varying conditions of age, weight, general
health, etc. may be safely relied uoon.
And judging by the fact that "Mnih..
Friend" has been In continual use alnnn

made to the Anti-Saloon League were
charged up as "household expenses,"
were among the statements made on
witness stand by Rev. Mr. Barnhisel in
his concluding testimony.
"What about this item of $5 for :
state hunter's license. Mr. Barnhisel?'
asked Attorney Langhorne, referring
to an item for November. 1910.
"Mrs. Barnhisel " enjoyed what I
brought home, I believe," said Rev. Mr.
Barnhisel.
"Did you bring anything home, at
any time?"
"I at least got home without any
one bringing me," said Rev. Mr. Barn
hisel and a general laugh from the
crowded courtroom closed the incident.
"Here is an item of $10 for theater
tickets, Mr. Barnhisel. What about it.
didn't you enjoy the theater, too?"
"I usually went with Mrs. Barnhisel,
that's true," said Rev. Mr. Barnhisel.
"1 liked it a good deal more that 1
went."
"There is an item of ?5 given to the
Anti-Saloon League. Was that given
exclusively for Mrs. Barnhisel?"
"It was given for the protection of
the home." answered Rev. Mr. Barn
hisel, "and comes under the head of
household expenses."
Rev. Mr. Barnhisel explained his
total indebtedness of $137,905 was due
largely to property on which he held
unlimited options.
"Many of these debts are of no spe
cial significance," he said.
"They do -not worry me at all: only
personal debts are of any consequence.
