himself, while the two officers with nm
said they had seen no rough usage. On the
other hand the testimony of the girls was
corroborated by Mr.. and Mrs. Tanner Mrs.
THOMPSON and Mary Morris, the COOK at the
Acme hotel. As the court has not yet
passed upon this testimony 1t would be
manifestly improper to comment upon 1t at
this time. DR.. Freeman testified to the
swollen condition of the arm of the Brewer
Girl. while Mrs. Hawkins, with impressive
unction. stripped off her handsome wrap to
show the long tear on the inside. A dia-
gram of the Acme, at All Washington ave-
nue. south, was also submitted and freely
used by both sides.
THE INTERESTING DETAILS
come out gradually, amid much sharp and
eliminating language. Stevens referred to
the Acme as a house of ill-fame, to which
Jordan made some reference to that sac
counting for Stevens presence there"
Stevens said: Yes, and if I'd pulled
these houses I'd got YOU"
You're liar!' exclaimed Jordan, ''in
the court and out of the court you're a
liar!"
The court interposed.
Il wish to apologize to the court" said
Jordan, land pay whatever fine may be
imposed; and want the attorney to con-
slider that called him liar outside of the
court"
The crowd smiled, peace was restored,
and the case was continued until suddenly
Jordan interrupted with: Il don't propose
Mr.. Stevens shall introduce evidence in de-
Tense of his Matchmaking schemes on these
women"
But for contempt of court I'd knock you
down." exclaimed Stevens.
''Oh, I'll give you all opportunity. I'll
wait a half hour outside after court"
In their testimony the girls referred to

ON BUSINESS.
During the Brewster testimony Stevens
asked her if she knew he was an officer.
Jordan objected, but the court allowed the
question, whereupOn Jordan said: ''Oh,
well, if you had your star on and were in
prostitutes of this city. go ahead"
Mrs Tanner, in her story, said that Mr.
and Mrs. Thompson had been placed
under arrest by Mr.. Stevens before he
touched the girls.

''And by Ed Stevens?"
Eyes, sir"
''Well, they couldn't have had any
money"
"What do you mean, sir?" demanded
Stevens.
"Oh, nothing, only that you never arrest
people with money"
STEVENS ON THE STAND.
The defendant took the stand to testify
in his own behalf, and gave the story given
above. He had arrested the girls, but had
used no violence. The croSs-eXaminatiOn
was short and amusing. Jordan asked:
You are familiar with this class Of
wOmen?"
Yes, and with some of the young men
who run with them, too. [ know some
thing about you, too"
Then you know that I always pay my
bills, and don't blaclmail the girls and
make them pay"
Pm glad you pay"
81 would be glad if you'd pay, but dom
suppose you ever will"
The case closed shortly afterward, and as
it was late. the summing up was continued
to another day. The girls and their at
torneys sauntered out, and Stevens, adjust
ing his glasses with smile, did the same,
no collision taking place.
