Mr.. DAVID coBLE
Was put on. Knows Ike Harris. Talked
with Harris on the Keysor place shortly
after this suit was begun. He said he
had tried to accomplish base purpose

INSTRUMENTATION.
Remembers nothing more about the
con versatiop than this given; does not

particular OF what was said.
The defense here produced their mis-

MRS. THOMAS,
OF Los Angeles. Husband is a railroad
engineer on the Santa Ana branch OF
the 8. z. Knows the plaintiff. In the
latter part Of Summer or early Fall met
her with Mrs. Botello. They called at
the house Of witness. Witness was not
at home. When they had left the girl
heard the neigbbors talking Of the Wis
itors. Witness told Mrs. Botello not to
bring Miss Perkins TO her house. Spoke
to the plaintiff later. They both came
to my gate. told her what heard--the
statements made in relation to what the
neighbors had said, that they reported
she was Mr.. Baldwi mistress. Louise
said 1t was all false; that she was q SER
want at the Baldwins; that she went to
San Francisco to 20 TO SCHOOL, that abe
never was engaged TO Baldwin.
CROSS EXAMINATION.
Saw Mr.. Wells last night. Did not
talk to him. Refused to talk to any
person about the case until I saw my
husband. did not wish to get mixed
up in any way with the case. Did not
talk at any time a. to my testimony
until this moment.
Here plaintiff rests,
0HAs. LAMrMAs
Took the rebuttal business at this
point. Is at Milton Thomas nursery.
Knows A. H. Halstead. Met him In De.
cember. Halstead told me that Mr..
Bald win had been after him for this case;
that he, Halstead, thought the girl was
right, but there was no use to tsatify for
her, a. Baldwin would hny up witnesses.
and il he could make 1900 out Of II he
would get out Of the way and not testify
for plaintiff.
Mr.. J. siIMMIs,
A Milton Thomas laborer, was the next.
Knew Halstead last December. Hal
stead said 1t was his business what he
knew about the case, that Miss Perkins
wanted him to stay. but that Baldwin
wanted him to 60. '. That
in any case he wanted some money.
GROSS KxAMISATIoN
Witness tells circumstsnt islly how the
question arose in his telling Halstead
what he thought of the case. Said
the "Rirl Is rs innocent as you are"
The cross en- examination with Halstead
was general one-not Of = jesting char
acter.
At half past eleven Mr.. White asksd
to have the recess taken now, on account
q some private business he had out
side. Recess was therefore taken, the
Court to recommsnce at hsf past one
P. N.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At 1:30 P. N. the Court re-assembled.
and after the Jury roll was called the re-
buttal testimony was continued with
Mr.. George q. Barron on the stand. He
lives 8 or 0 miles from here towards
Downey city. Knows Cawelti. Had
with Cawelti in this city
on corner If First and Main streets last
week. Ike Harris was with him. Ca
welti said the business he had here was
TO be q witness fol- Baldwin in this case,
and that he said he knew nothing
against MISS Perkins. 1t amounted to
that but those were not the exact
words. The discrimination Of this
witness brought out the conversation in
detail. The witness said he knew Ca
welti's father; that he Ia farmer near
Springville. Ventura county; that he
il farmer on large scale.
Mr.. w. r. Dodson. keeper Of the
hotel at ri Monte, was called. He has
been at ri Monte for eight years. Does
not know Ike Harris. He was pointed
out TO witness yesterday. In 1888 there
were at the hotel in FL Monte balls
given. He has been in the habit Of
giving balls about once In every three
Never gave over three or four
balls year. Does not remember seeing
Harris there. Knows most of those
who came there. Knows most Of the
people around the Monte. Knows
Miss Perkins. Has seen her at three or
foor balls at his hotel; not more than
four. Mr.. Brewster came with her
once. He is respectable person. Never
saw Miss Perkins behaving in any i'm
proper manner. Never saw any persons
huacing or kissing in or about the hotel
at these balls. Ii anything Of the kind
took place the witness would have seen
it. He takes great pains to have these
parties conducted 10 perfectly bocom-
ina manner. The hall IL where the dane
ing wss done.
CROSS EXAMINATION.
Never saw anything improper at my
hotel. In the case of the Peopls vs. Ed.
Mayes was q witness. Testified ct that
time that the crowd was drunk. but it
was after tbs ball broke up. A few
niphts ago there was no ball ct my
house. There were no chairs broken.
There was no ball broken up on account
of row. Does not recollect at any time
not allowing Miss Perkins to attend any
ball. After she got going with Bald
win I told some of the boys not TO bring
her to the balls. Did not send word to
Blackley not to bring her. know MISS
Smith. Do not remember her being
IL . bali and Buckley saying to
me that he did not see why you
object to Louise when you allow Miss
Smith TO be there--a W.; on Febru-
sry s. 1850, there was ball at the ho-
tel. After the ball the boys got into 8
little row. The balls break up about l
or 2 o'clock.
Q.--In the ease Of the People VS..
Mayes did you testify that Miss Upton
was put In your charge BY her father
during the early part Of the evening,
and that you did not see her until next
morning; that you were waiting at the
bar!
Mr.. White objected to tho question.
Objection overruled.
A.-Well, the way she was left-I did
so testify. Upton said II AN going to
Los Angeles. See Ella on the cars in
the morning" / am not usually engaged
at the bar This was one Of the exoep-
tons. Miss Perkins l do not think
could have been hinged and kissed with
ont nv finding it out. The hall 10 IL or
S feet from the bar. 1t is through the
third door. / could not see from the
bar to the hall. She might have been
kissed and not see IL. My balls do
not usually break mp in drunken row.
There vas a row there few nights sgo
Tbs dancing hall is down stairs. The
reception room is on the same floor.
Brewster Il young man about %. He
was raised at the Mission and at the
Monte. Do not remember when he
came last with Louise to ball. Il was
ia 80 or 'ss that he brought her there,
DO not reoollect the last time louise
was there. At these balls do not think
great deal Of hugging and kissing goes
on. such conduct would be considered
a little irregular.
The blackboard was here called into
requisition, aud Mr. Dodson was asked
to mark out ground plan Of his hotel
for the enlightenment Of the jury.
Mr.. White called Mr.. Rudolf Sweeney
