Continuation Of the ssxamination.

yesterday afternoon alter our report
contained in last issue closed, complain
ants step-father gave evidence regarding
his search for the girl and the place and
condition in which he found her.. Here
the prosecution rested their case. ssA
Defendant then testified that he first
met complainant about Dec. 10, and was
introduced to her by her mother. They
met frequently after that and grew init
mate. On one occasion he had her out
driving and took liberties with her. On
the night of December 81 or rather the
morning of January l, they left the car,
niyal together, entered coach and were
driven around about two hours. At that
time he had improper intercourse with
her. Next day he took his breakfast at
the restaurant and when an opportunity
offered he asked her If she would meet
him at o'clock THAT night She agreed.
That evening he called her to the back
door of the house where helived, and he
told her when she retired to hcrroom that
night not to undress or go to sleep as rap
ping necessary to awaken her might
arouse others. To this she consented. He
then went and engaged room at the lodg-
ing house in the Carr building and retired,
leaving word to be called at midnight.
Before that time he awoke without being
called and left the room. While walking
down street short time afterward and
about 10 O'clock, he saw complainant
come out of the restaurant and go into her
room next door. He crossed over and
raped at the door when she came out
dressed ready to go out as he thought,
and, he thought, locked the door. He
went forward around toward the rear of the
house and she followed, after stopping
and appearing to listen for very few
minutes. After they had gone short
distance she took his arm and they walked
out upon Lewis street, across Main, on
down to the rear of the Carr building and
went up the stairs to the glass door, which
opens into the hall inside. He looked
through the glass and saw woman In
side. He left complainant outside and
| went in and talked to the woman, who
was drunk, about two minutes, trying to
get her to 60 out Of sight so she would not
see who he had with him. When he
came out complainant was standing ON
the ground about fifty feet from the stairs.
He called to her to come back and she
came and met him at the foot of the
stairs. They then went up and went into
his room and sat down On the bed. He
suggested that they had better go to bed,
and both undressed and got into the bed.
/ He unbuttoned few of the buttons of her
! dress. She gave him her watch to keep
until she went home. She yielded to his
embraces without any resistance, and he
used no force at any time with her or any
artto compel her submission to his desires
except by persuasion. Their relations
were Of the most friendly kind through
out. While in bed together she asked
him to leave Livingston with her. She
said she was not pleasantly situated here
and wanted to leave. He said lie could
not 90 with her as he was married. While
there, in course of conversation, he told
her he always carried a revolver that he
had one then, and that it was lying on the
table in the room. After they had been
in bed together abeut two hours a rap
came at the door and the officers de-
manded admission, which they gained
after he and she had risen and dressed.
At this point in the testimony court adj
| iourned to meet at o'clock this mornin co
! Defendants testimony was continued
this morning. He stated that complain
ant put the leggings in his pocket when
they were dressing to leave the room. He
had told her mother that any reparation
he could make he was willing to render
and do anything that would render the
young ludy less blameworthy; that he was
willing to send her away to school and
pay the expense for any length Of time.
| lie did not exhibit any revolver on the
night in question. When they went to
bed he did not use any force with her.
When in the room they talked in whispers
as any loud noise might have been heard
