+ hit him with 4 stick, she WOulu SHOW
me about it. didn't want to go down
alone, so I went and got VIM. Anderson
and his hired man, Monroe. She said
she would 90 with me. The house IS in
small hollow on lower ground than
mine. We went along, | taking one OF
Mrs. TyreIl's arms and my wife the
other. We got to the gate about twenty
rods from the house. There she went
into sort of spasm and was uncon-
scious. Ny wife went for Mr.. Welsh
and we thought we'd better get her back
to the house. We carried her to my
house and laid her on the lounge. Then
we thought we'd better go and see what
condition Tyrell was in. | lighted the
lantern and started, but my wife met us
and wouldn't stay alone, so | didn't go
| to Tyrell's but staid at home. Ed Welsh
and Monroe were the first persons there.
On the inquest she stated that he came
at her with chair and tried to drive her
from the house Two chairs were used.
Whether Tyrell threw the one which
was outdoors | don't know. She spoke
about his taking a stick and then they
clinched and she threw HIM down and
struck him with stick. She didn't say
how many times.
She told me she gave herself up. She
said she would sooner hive in Jail than as
she had been living. | understood Ty-
rell's age was 70. He complained some,
but was able to travel about on foot and
was stout for his age. His right arm or
hand was crippled, but | don't know
that it injured him. He could chop
wood all day.
Ed. Walsh was called.
He said he lived quarter of mile
from Tyrell's, said he saw them on
Tuesday evening the 22nd. at their
house, about $50. No one else was
there | heard some one halloo but
paid no attention to them. | saw Ty-
rell and his wife had hold of each other.
After that saw Mrs. Tyrell going over
toward Place >. She was walking de-
liberately and thought nothing had
happened. Mrs. Place came down and
said Mrs. Tyrell had killed Tyrell.
We then went to the house and found
Tyrell lying with his head resting on
some boards south of the kitchen. He
could just move his left hand. His
head was bloody. He was unconscious.
His eyes were swollen shut. He had
been pounded a good deal. We sent
for the doctor. l had seen Tyrell the
evening before at my house. He spoke
of his wife and said he didn't know
where she was. He made no threats
toward her. They were at my house
one evening after their first trouble.
She was there and he just came to the
door and inquired for her. While there
she told about the fight they had She
said nothing about any fight they were
gong to have. She said she was afraid
for her life, and if he attacked her
again she would kill him in self-defense.
She said it only once. The witness des-
cribed the wounds and bruises on Tyrell
when they found him. AS to his phys
ical condition when living, he was man
who complained a good but was as
hearty as any man ever saw.
Cross examination.
