LATTER WILL ASSEMBLE AT SOUTHERN HOTEL WEDNESDAY. —, — Both Desire to Settle Location So That Actual Work of Building It and Organizing Committees Can Begin. The board of directors of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co. will meet at 10:30 o’clock Tuesday morning at the Noonday Club. The national commission will meet Wed- nesday morning at the Southern hotel. The various committees of the local com- pany nearly all hold meetings during the week, in order to get the work of organi- zation started before the very warm weather sets in. With the meeting of the national com- mission, those who have waited long and anxiously for the selection of the site be- lieve their anxieties will be relieved. It has been stated by President Thomas H. Carter and other members of the com- mission that that body would not meet again until the local corporation had seiect- ed the site for its approval.

She says these letters will be introduced at the trial. Attorney Charles T. Caldwell today showed a letter to the Post-Dispatch, which was written to Federal Judge John J. Jackson by Alice Dukes—sister of Ella— while Miss Glenn's case was before the Fedcral Court in April last. In this letter Miss Dukes stated that while she had endeavored to state only the truth ing paragraphs she pieaded with the judge to release Ellis Gienn. The letter was given to Attorney Cald- well by Judge Jackson. Mr. Caldwell told the Post-Dispatch to- day that he knew nothing about the iden- tity of his client, except what she had told him. He said that her attorneys kad not required her to tell anything of her his- tory except the tale which she had chosen to relate about the twin brother, and her meeting him when he was under Indictment in Filinois. The state has no’ knowledge of E. B. Glenn prior to his appearance in Wiliiams- town, 12 miles from Parkersburg, early in the spring of 1897. The prosecution will en- deavor to identify this E. B. Glenn, who spent the summer of 1897 in Willilams- town and Huntington, W. Va., &€nd Mari- etta, O.. with the defendant. The defense will introduce witnesses to testify to the presence of certain Scars on E. B. Glenn which are not found on Ellis Glenn. The state will contend that these supposed scars were manufactured by the t clever masquerader for the very purpose to which she is now put them. Best he, s, it-ts averred by the defense that EB.

PITTSBURG, Pa., June 22.—The result of a sudden determination which she did not explain, brought Mrs. Isaac Fry of Gal- latin, Tenn., face to face with a brother several years older than herself whom she had never seen.

Both parents | died shortly after her birth and she was) adopted by Daniel Boardner, who went to) Gallatin, Tern. There she married Isaac Fry, who had also lived at Fayette City. A few days ago, Mrs. Fry says, she de-| termined to see her brother and started for their old home. No one knew him or re- membered the name.
