Estby and daughter, the latternot yet lb years of age, will leave this city to walk to New York city. Though Mrs. Estby has been intending to do this for some time, she said little about it until she was ready to go and perfectly sure that there would be no balk In tne proceedings.She is apparently about 46 years of age. quite pleasant in reature and manner, and a ready talker. The reason she is taking the trip and me cause are perhaps best explained in her own words.I know it is a big undertaking,” said eh© to a Spokesman-Review reporter last evening. It is easy to ngure it out on paper, but it will be quite another thing to do as w© have planned, but we have made up our minds as well as all arrangements, and will surely leave tomorrow morning—probably about 10 o'clock, but no one will know us from the hundreds of other women who may start out on the street at the same time. I live on a ranch about 25 miles southeast of here, near Rockford. We have some things to get there, but if we make it before dark we will not stay there over night, but push on as fast as we can, for we want to get over as many miles as possible before the hot weather sets in. When we get east, I suppose it will be so hot we shall have to travel nights. We carry almost no baggage, and will rough it and sleep out, just like any others. We shall have to make our expenses as we go along. When we get to New York we are assured a certain sum. You see, there is a laay there who has invented a new style garment. When we get to Salt Lake we will don this garment and wear it the rest of the way, and then when we get to New York city will go on exhibition with it Of course our greatest trouble will be to make our expenses as we go, but I guess wo can do that some way, as we can do most anything. We are not in a hurry, but want to get back to Spokane by next Christmas, for, while there may be lots of otner nice places, we like Spokane the best. At all the principal towns we shall stop and visit points of interest, will make as many capital cities as possible and secure the autographs of the governors and other noted men. From Spokane we go by way ef Walla Walla and Pendleton to Boise, then to Salt Lake, Cheyenne and Denver, Lincoln, Omaha, Burlington, Chicago, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and then by the beet route to New York city.We shall see many funny and strange things, and these we shall write up as we go along, making something out of that.“Why do we take this trip? Well, to make money. I have been laid up with sickness for some time and had to mortgage my farm, and now I can’t see any way of getting enough to pay interest and taxes unless I do something of this kind.I have simply got to make a stake some way, for I don’t want to lose the farm, *nd it is the only way I can see of saving it. I have done quite a lot of walking myself, having once walked 400 miles at a single stretch. My daughter who Is Just 16'/* years old, has never done much walking except from the farm to Spokane, a distance of 25 miles. We shall get along all Tight, however; I am quite sure of that.Mrs. Estby goes armed with a letter written by Mayor Belt and indorsed by ex-Mayor D. B. Fotheringham, as follows: Spokane, Wash., May 4.-To Whom It May Concern: The bearer hereof. Mrs.H. Estby, has been a resident of this city and vicinity for the last nine years, is a lady of good character and reputation, and 1 take pleasure in commending ber and her daughter, with whom she tiavels, to the kindly consideration of all Persons with whom they may come in contact.

Her husband will hold down the ranch and take care of the youngest children while they are gone. Several of the older ones are working at different places in the city.Mrs. Estby. It will be recalled, la theA Detective Acknowledge, to Faking Testimony.NolNewport, Ky„ May 5.—In 35 minutes auer the noon recess today the defense ested, just two weeks having been spent in examining witnesses. Twelve personal witnesses and eight depositions were The forenoon testimony was monotonous and that of the afternoon was melodramatic. The prosecution will now be engaged in rebuttal. It will not be surprising if one or two cases of perjury should develop.Opening part of today’s trial was devoted to important attacks on the testimony of Druggist Foermeyer, of Bellevue, and John Nosier, who had told of seeing Jackson and Walling and Pearl Bryan together in Bellevue the Thursday or Friday before the murder. Testimony followed regarding Scott Jackson's character while in Indianapolis and Will Wood’s reputation at Greencastle. The former was said to be good beyond doubt, and the latter bad by four residents of Greencastle. After hearing the testimony of the Newport bridge watchman that only vehicles crossed the bridge between 8 and 3 o’clock on the night of January 31, and of Brannon, the barber, who testified that Jackson was shaved Friday, January 31, Colonel Crawford asked that court adjourn until afternoon, as he had but one more witness to examine.The most sensational developments of the Jackson trial occurred this afternoon. Colonel Nelson for the prosecution was begged by John Seward, a detective, for mercy. Seward voluntarily offered to make a full confession that he procured Trusty to come on the stand as a witness for the defense, and had Invented th6 testimony Trusty gave.F.MPBCofit.IR]W]R1dllA1MislhaofP(SidiMILWAUKEE STRIKE HOLDS ONNot One of the Workmen Weaken*— Cara Kept Running.Milwaukee, may 6. — The Federated Trades Council has not, as reported, ordered a sympathetic strike.
