denial, the Defendants counsel tried to
get in q letter purporting to come
from a man named Davis to Mrs.
Baldwin, proposing to her to come and live with
him as soon as he succeeded In getting divorce
from his wife. Mrs: Baldwin, when on the
stand, had denied ever having received such
letter. She had further testified that Mrs.
Quinn, in engaging her to fire the building, had
promised to take care Of her afterwards The
object Of the defense in trying to work in this
letter was to show that, in view Of Mrs Bold
wins RELATIONSHIP Davis, such an arrangement
between her and Mrs. Quinn was out
Of the question, as wholly unnecessary.
In short, the defense*wanted to contradict Mrs.
Baldwin, and, after good deal Of awrangle,
succeeded in getting it ill.,. Mrs. Quinn said the
letter began with an Invocation from Davis to
ssAy Dearest Josie,'' after which the writer went
on to remind her OF the pleasant times he had
spent in her company and that OF other laa,es.
and then proceeded to ask her to come and live
with him-not marry him-as soon Us he could
get divorce from his wife, which he expected
to obtain in short time. =
Having made this point, AIRS. Quinn was ask
ed if, previous to the fire. she had any conver5a~
ton with Mrs. Baldwin in reference to burning
the house, or if she knew ANYTHING. OF an
intention on Mrs. Baldwin's psrt to burn It.

length, Mrs. Quinn explaining that the liquor

to haywood, the liquor consisting
of something known as "whieky sling"
The others drank quite as much as sue did. As
to the writing done that night, to which Mrs. u.
referred. it was simply q prospectus Tor new
paper which she aud Keller started to prepare:
But they cot to talking over the prospects OF
the new paper, and the writing was plven up;
Mrs. D. was simply mistaken when she testneo
that it had something to do with biackmali'n6 ai
There was, nobody to bring to time, said Mrs.
Quinn, that she knew Of In regard to the
repairs made on the house, Mrs. quinn testi-
fed that they cost $500 or $500. AZ the turn1-

at Jackson contained nothing which was not her
daughters property, except blole ana q ma ma
