Clerk Superior Cxurt PRISONER SECURES FREEDOM AND RICH WIFE IN ENGLAND | Man Paid $30,000 For Wrongful Imprisonment And Announces Wedding Plans. London.—Oscar Slater, who spent nearly 20 yean of his life under sentence and conviction for murder, only finally to be exonerated ar.d awarded $30,000 for wrongful Im prisonment, was said by Tire Dally Mall to be contemplating marriage with a full blooded South African Kaffir woman. “My .iancee was born in Basuto land.” The Mall quoted Slater in an Interview given at Glasgow, "where her parents, who are wealthy, nave plantations. X met her more than 20 years ago when staying In Paris. She then was 1 scarcely 20 years of age ar.d had Just finished her education. "We wrote to each other occasion ally but I did hot see her for many years until one day when X was In Peterhead Prison she came from Paris to see me. Her faith in me comforted me tremendously. Throughout long years in prison we wrote and when I was released we met in Glasgow and became engag ed. She now is staying in Glasgow i where the marriage may take place ! in April." Accused Of Murder. Slater was accused of the murder In 1908 of Miss Mary Gilchrist, an aged woman, although he was not arrorted until tho following year, when Glasgow agents met him as he stepped from the LusitanU at New York. He was extradited, tried, convicted and sentenced to death. His sentence later was commuted to life Imprisonment, Scottish law at the time did not provide for criminal case appeals but from agitation growing out of Slater's case a special act of parlia ment was passed creating a couri of criminal appeals for Scotland. His friends won international support for his ease with representition* that although a maid of the mur dered woman had identified another man as the slayer this fact was not presented to the jury. Tells Of Burial Of i Robert Lee’s Horse ! V. oman Says Son Or Leader Sug<-r vlsed Interment. Victim Of Lockjaw. Lexington. Va.—The burial of “Traveler,” Gen. Robert E. L»c's war horse, was described here bv Mrs. Margaret Letcher Showell, of Letcher avenue, who, os a twelve year-old girl, was one of the eight persons who made up the luneral cortege. Mrs, Showed contradicts the com j mon belief that "Traveler” ,va. ! merely “pushed over the cliff' aft er his death, and describes Jtls burial as an affair as solem as that of his master. "Traveler stepped on a nail,’' Mrs. Showed explained, "and died of lockjaw a few days later. Fo4 sev eral days and nights preceding the horse's death, Gen. Curtis Lee, old est son of Robert E. Lee, and who succeeded his lather as presidmt or Wasliington college, now Washing ton and Lee university, and visitors at the Lee home sat beside tr.e wounded animal. Utmost care and attention was given him. "After Traveler's death, Gen. Cur tis Lee, accompanied by three little girls and myself, and assisted, by three colored men, buried him un der a tree in the ravine beliinc* Washington and Lee university. “A dead silence was kept through out the burial. Not a word was spoken from the time we act out from the stable, which still stands behind the president's home, here now. until we left the grave. V shall always remember the tender prim ness of Gen. Curtis Lee's face ,»s he stood with bared head beside the grave.” Mrs. Showed explained that » large hole was dug for Traveler's grave. The floor of Ills hole was covered with boards and th« horse was dragged onto this flooring. The carcass was that covered with lime and the sides and a top were fitted to the planking In the bottom of the hole, thus enclosing tha hor^e in a sealed wooden casket. "Gen. Curtis Lee himself spread Traveler’s blanket over him before the top was placed on the box," Mrs Showed said. “Curtis Lee was as fond of Traveler as father had been. He was very sad as he walk ed away from the grave.” In 1907, funds to have the a.;ele- ■ ton of Traveler mounted were do nated by Joseph Bryan of Rich mond. The skeleton now stands :n a glass case In the basement or Leo Memorial chapel on the campus of Washington and Lee University.
