Mr.. Ball asked how she got the let

Piled that Mr.. Eaton brought letter

and it came out and she put IL in her
desk.

GEORGE $. EATON
took the stand and testified that he got
an anonymous note commencing,
"You and Miss Murphy are married"
He tore it up near Mansfield. he
didn't want any man or woman on
earth to see il.
Mr.. Ball asked, did you show it to
anybody"
Mr.. Eaton replied that he certainly
wouldn't swear it unless he did. Yes,
he would tell. He showed it to G.. G.
Johnson, "a New Orleans detective.
He was tall man with light NOUS
tache. He employed this detective to
see who wrote the anonymous letter.
Went to Mansfield and came back.
He and Rufus Chatham and the de-
tective met somewhere out there
tpointing). Rufus Chatham took
the buggy back. The detective came
back and told him that he had got UNI
der DR.. Nurphy's bed and he was
talking to his wife and heard him say
that he wrote them.
Mr. Ball asked: "Suppose that it
can be shown that DR.. Murphy and
his wife slept in different beds?p
Mr. Eaton replied that he had writ
ten that he could eXonerate her and
Miss Fannie about ii, and she said
that the detective is just trying to get
your money. Father and mother
SLEEP IN DIFFERENT BEDS.
They have slept that way ever since 1
was little girl"
Leon & II. Blum sent the detective
up. They could telegraph at his eX-
pense if they chose.
Mr.. Ball replied, "If you will pro-
duce Mr.. C. Q. johnson will give you
$780,
Mr.. Eaton then said. II don't want
your money. l don't ask to be
bribed.n
Mr.. Ball asked would Leon & H..
Blum employ such n man a5 that.
Mr.. Eaton replied that he knew
detectives would do anything.
Mr.. Ball rejoined, "Was that why
you employed the detective?p
Mr.. Eaton went on TO explain now
the detective was here in connection
with another matter. Being inter
rupted he said it seemed that Mr..
Ball would have him criminate the
young lady. He wanted TO say hat
the young lady was as virtuous as the
sno " that falls from heaven" He had
risen TO his feet, and with powerful
gesture asserted that he had never by
word, act or deed attempted to cast q
stain upon her.
Mr.. Ball asked: "Did you not say to
a newspaper reporter Mr.. HALEY, that
sits yonder at the table, that you met
Miss Murphy in the Germania court,
that she was wearing a low-neck dress
and you thrust 500 bill under her
collar?r
Mr.. Eaton again arose and raising
his hand in gesticulation, said: II dld
not say to Mr.. HALEY that L put u
300 bill down her collar, and If Mr..
HALEY says that / did he is
AN INFAMOUS LIAR"
In the further questioning the witness
said that Mr.. Ball was trying to make
him criminate himself.
Mr.. Haney asked his reason for de-
slroying the letter. Mr.. Eaton replied
that 1t was because he thought she had
no connection with ii.
His brother employed Mr.. Thomas.
MIR. Thomas told him afterwards that
he had got the thing down fine; that
the little girl had denied having taken
Miss Murphy the box; that there was
a consideration of dress. He gave
Mr.. Thomas 300. He.gave Mr.. John
son 800. He had already torn up the
anonymous letter. Mr.. HOelzle was
given the letters and he thought prom
lsed not to publish, but when he
got TO, Galveston they were
