II. Baldwin, who had said he would
treat her as child, told her 1t was all
right. / do not say he ever intended TO
marry her. But do say be made the
promise for some purpose. Counsel for
defendant say the manner Of popping
the question" was rather strange. Well.
If there Is anything that is not done I'M
der rule it is this matter Of getting your
courage to the ''sticking point" Why
| does she not remember all the rest Of the
conversation do not know. Perhaps
some Of you can tell all the surround
ings Of the time when you did like
thing a. getting engaged. 1t Is queer,
they say, that no one was present atthat
time. My experience IL that there Is not
usually large crowd around whom
these contracts are made.
A man who has q mistress does not
usually take her about and introduce her
to his friends. He does not take her to
. jewelers. and get her finger measured
for ring and while that was done he
allowed her to take q $1,000 ring to
wear for . while. How natural such .
thing when Z man IL making such .
pledge. He may not have been sincere.
But he wAnted her TO believe he was.
| He took her around and introduced her
| to respectable society. Can believe he
would do this with mere mistresss
Perhaps he did at one time intend to
make her his wife. But when he had
access 10 her before the marriage
he than made up his mind he would not
fulfil his vow. But cannot but think
he did intend at first to wed her. l
cannot believe he could take her from
her mother q he did to ruin her. He
did everything . man could do to i'm
press her sad make her think he would
marry her. He left her In the hands Of
the skilled Dexter. He showed her all
his possessions; all the great city With
all it, jewels and Ace rAiment, art and
al the alluring bats that ever were
used to entrap the soul. THE attorney
here took up per retzrn to San Francis

parental
Gradually she learned Baldwin's rep
utation was not the best. Hut they had
her 10 their power. The serpent's fangs
were In her, and she feared to irritate
them. Right here on this taip. and ct
other fimss; you see how Il was. She
was under his control. Her parents did
not know Of her ruin. She cluDg 70

marriage. In 1854 she felt she was 70.

Blackley and others. This explains her
letters to Baldwin in which she called
him ''friend." As to the action Of the
Psrkinsss we know Baldwin, bat they
did not. Do you think the wQrds Of
COUNCIL are tyne that they have "sold
their baby for goldin dentlsmen, I do
not believe Il. The child went to San
Francisco again. He had lured her to
| her ruin and she followed him with Mrs.
Laird. The story about the interviews
with Laird are under ordinary circum.
stances here improbable. But she
knew Baldwin. She know how
| false were his promises. She went
there 10 DO this thing, She cared not
| for Baldwin. she had the instinct Of .
good woman. The girl was her friend.
