Neither will I allow my poor dead husband to be slandered that my father might escape punishment for his act. I loved Eugene too dearly to stand calmly by and have his char . . 1 1 1 ...

Tears filled the eyes of little Mrs. Anna Maria Ptiwnr MnKmin V. - iiv-nuiuii dilU I1CI voice was choked with emotion as she uttered this statement to a reportei yesterday afternoon. It was the first interview ever given by the little widow, whose eighteen-year-old hus band, Eugene Newman, was shot to death by her father, William V. Cleary, Town Clerk and political power of Haverstraw, last July. Killed Obeying Bride's Advice Young Newman, on the advice of his bride, had called at the Town Hall to tell Mr. Cleary he had married his daughter the week previous, and to ask forgiveness and blessing. Cleary invited his son-in-law to be seated, and while the young man was fumb ling in his pockets for the' marriage certificate, Cleary suddenly got a re volver from a safe and shot him. i S XT . . mia. ruewuiau was alone in ner par-j ent S appartment in Graylene Court, No. 610 West One Hundred and Fiftv Second street, Manhattan, when the reporter called. She said her sole reason for granting an interview was that she might be set right-, .be fore her friends and deny another story that was printed a few days after the killing of her husband in which she was quoted as saying she would aid her father in every way and was ready to admit she had made a mistake in being married to Eugene Newman. The little widow made a very at tractive picture in mourning attire. While she is not beautiful, in a strict ease of the word, she is more than passing pretty. Her dark brown hair was dressed in the prevailing style and she wore a gown of black char tneuse stain, .relieved with embroidered white collar and cuffs. She has large, expressive blue eyes and a girlish figure. "I guess you must have caught me t the psychological moment," she aid. I had declared that under no circumstances would I talk to news paper, but I am willing to take a chance on your telling the truth. Interview Pure Fake S- Please deny for me that I at any time, said I realized I had made a mistake in my marriage, and that, first of all, I . was my father's child. That, entire interview was a pure fake. The day that was published I wa -prostrated, in led, and the only person I, saw was my trained nurse. I was confined' to my room from July, when my husband was killed, until September! , T ' ; .' ''I was also quoted as saying that my father could do no wrong, and that ! sow realiied tnai my love for my husband, was mistake Never for ona moment have I regretted being "I dare say my father was so fur ious to think Gene and I had run off and been married that he abso lutely lost hist head. At least that is the kindest thing for me to think of him. "For any one lo attribute any other reason for my father killing my hus band is to cast a slanderous reflection on my husband that I will not permit. Now that my husband is dead hi? memory is too sacred to me for me to stand by and allow persons to throw mild on his character. Between Love and Filial Duty "Please do not ask me if 1 have for given my father. You must realize that I am in a terrible position. My husband is dead and no atonement my father could possibly make can ever bring him back to me. The least I can do is to protect his memory. On the other hand, my father stands in danger of dying in the electric chair, and even to protect my husband's memory I cannot allow my father to surfer that fate. "My one hope is that I will not be called to the trial. I nks? I am the only means of saving my lather from death in the chair, I most certainly will not testify. 1 cannot sec of what benefit my testimony would be, any way. I know nothing of the shooting. and since this frightful thing has happened, mv familv has never al luded to it in any way. None lias questioned tuc, and neither has my father's lawyer, and I am praying every day that 1 may escape the added torture of having to attend this trial. "I have nol seen my father since my husband's death. I do not intend to visit him. I am not hard hearted, but I simplv cannot forcet. "They say that when one is voung one forgets easily, and recovers from all things. Possibly I am not so frivolous as most girls of mv age, be cause I find it absolutely impossible to forget. Two wrongs never mark one right. " My one consolation during these awful weeks has been work. I have just thrown myself into my music. Since 1 have been a child I have studied the piano."

LAD COM MITTED SUICIDE IN ATLAN TA IS SCOFFED AT At a meeting yesterday of the Board of County Commissioners the tax books for the year 1914 were turned over to Sheriff R. B. Lane for collection. These books show that there has been a big increase in the value of property here during the past twelve months. In 1913 the total tax valuation was $10,- 981, 445.00. This year the valuation is $11,235,761.00, or an increase of $254,316.00. This increase, in spite of the fact that there has been a depres sion on account of the war, is consid ered remarkable. Of this increase, about $250,000 is found right in the city of New Bern and the remainder is to be found in other parts of the county- Last year, and in previous years, the increased valuation was far below this- figute. h2m Uilbwd jutted Brilliant Reception at Centenary Last Night WAS GIVEN IN HONOR OF REV.

Williams, 18, who was found dead in his room at No. 16.? Whitehall street last Wednesday morning, might have been murdered instead of commit ting suicide is advanced in a letter re ceived today by Policeman Thomas Watson from the boy's brother, Charles T. Williams, of Middlesex, N. C. Williams wrote th.it he can ascribe no reason for the boy killing him self. He received a letter from his brother only a few days before he was notified that the boy had been found dead, in which young Williams said he was in good health and having a good time in At lanta. "I am writing you in regard to my brother, whose death occured at No. 163 Whitehall street, and who was found Wednesday morning," Williams wrote to Policeman W atson.

Young Williams was found knee ing by the side of his bed, as though in prayer, by his landlady, Mrs. Mary Chapman. Two empty carbolic acid vials and a cup in which it was sup posed the acid had been poured lay on the floor near the body.
