peAuys opinion was further rsad.l
She loves this man. She is is, he is IS.
Grabbed age and youth cannot live to-
gether" In April 20, 1885, tho mar.
riage Of Baldwin has been year before.
this broken flower, this broken vase runs
away with man named Fallon. Then
plaintiff s mother swears out warrant
Tor Louise and Fallon, charging
them with the theft Of watch.
She Is then brought in here
and five days after the complaint in this
suit is instituted. The next day Louise
is discharged for want OF prosecution.
This girl shrunk from this suit, but she
was compelled by her mother to do il.
They did not agree at any time. l be-
lieve this complaint was made, the evil
dence showing it. in the absence OF
Lou-se aud without her consent, to en-.
rich some one--l know not whom-on
the pefiured complaint Of her mother,
and she was released on condition that
she carry ON this suit. She knew her
relations to Baldwin and shrunk from it.
Mr. Williams says, "What will mother
not do for her childi" say il be will
justify perjury-rank, foul periury-I
have nothing to say. They cling to-
gether now--the father, the mother and
the child. 1t is the adhesion OF plumber.
There are two simple propositions before
you: Were they engaged; and il they
were, was he warranted in the breach Of
it. II be was we say he had such right.
She was not virgin when she came to
him. Every girl brings patent of vir-
ginity when she pledges herself to a

shower OF gold to a nav Danae. |
think the mother east her in his way,
preferring that she be this mans mis-
tress rather than poor mans wife.
The letter Of February, 1882, shows this
intimacy had begun at that time. In
bold relief it stands out broad and prom
inent that this intimacy did exist. She
tried to clear this up on the
stand. She is sharp girl. Here is the
most damnable testimony. This is from
Baxter's examination as to the time she
told her parents Of the engagement
She came home the lst of Mayi she told
this in June. She is at San Francisco;
be takes her to Sacramento and |
San Jose; the purpose is apparent. She |
comes Down here after this and tells of |
her engagement. She does not tell till |
June. Yet old Mr.. Perkins says she |
told it one day after; the mother says 1t |
was three days once, and seven days !
next time. She had on the sack, the
watch, the ring, like Cinderella. Her
mother saw it. She asked nothing OF |
them. The girl is falsifying. Render
verdict on testimony like that The /
father said he had long conversation
with her on the subject. She says she
does not think she eyer spoke to him
about II Al all. The girl is lying. It Ia
the most damnatary testimony 10 the
whole thing. ! say the poor thing has
been driven to testify falsely here under
q threat that if she did not she would /
occupy cell in the county Jail. These
letters from Baldwin contain nothing
that man would not write to his mis-.
tress; that she was In that position
there Is no doubt. These letters were
discovered when che ran away with
Fallon, and the finder said, "Why |
here is a fine case" Baldwin found out |
what she vas doing round the country.
She had been his mistressi she had been
false TO himj he cast her off. He did |
not wans sss corner in the thing he /
loved for others uses"
1.-THE Colonel frequently dropped into
poetry" in his argument Mrs. Dex.
ter's testimony was only taken to correct
dates. The circumstances are the same in
both her stories. Mrs. Ludwig was intro
duced to oorroborate Mrs. Dexter She
did see Ben eulpin with his arms around
her. Mrs. Hunter was ut Baldwin's
when he came up and kissed Louise.
Mrs. Hunter was q stranger, and in five
minutes after she first met him she |
asked Mr.. Baldwin when he was going
to marry Louise With my timidity Of |
disposition | would hate to ask Mr..
Baldwin, With his determined face,
what I thought would be an insult. But
this woman oones mp and says, 4" Mr..
Baldwin. when are you going to marry |
Louise p The next day she repeats the
question; at Sacramento she puts it |
sgain. think If abe OF anyone asked
that question under those circumstances
he would take the asker-man or woaau |
by the nap of the neck and throw her |
out of doors. 1.-THE reputation and |
beauty of Lulu Drum were discussed |
here.
We say that ii such an engagement
existed it was void, because she came to |
him robbed Of her virtue. II they were |
engaged she forfeited it by her sssocia-
tions and conduct afterward. Look at |
the Cation House with it's revsls. Mrs.
Laird hersslf says she admitted Mrs. |
Shorb from hrothel to live with Shorb |
because he said he was going to marry |
her In the future. Her own hrotheF, |
Bob Sebastian, keeping prostitute
in her house. Her own language |
EXPERIMENTAL. 1.-THE testimony Of Virgil
harp was read.l l know Virgil Earps |
knew him in Arizona. He ID not liar |
nor murderer He ia a man OF unusual
bravery. II the story Of that house is |
not true why do they not get citizens to
swear to its good name. She is hero
sprinkling water on dozen persons in |
the street. Ia this the afiianced of the
millionairef She shakes dice for the
drinks. She rides out with Martin. |
She IL at the races with Stoddard. This |
is the bride-elect of z. ]. Baldwin. |
This is the pure aud innocent girl.
Williams sweafs she was in her bed |
room at night with Stoddard. Does she |
retire from society, docs she |
separate herself for the man she is en-
gagged tos Does she resist the first adj
vances from other men, Does she re-
spsot the opinion of society? That
does not permit her to shake dice and
drink with the boys It does not per-
nit her to ride with Martin. 1t does |
not permit her 70 ride with Stoddard. |
II does not permit her 20 spend the night
with brakeman. THE Cotton House |
was torn to pieces, here and Mrs. Laird's
language, as sworn to by carp, read.
We have Ia or 20 witnesses to testify as
to the character Of the Cotton House
and Of the European Hotel, at San Ber-
nardino. We have rolled upon you an
unbroken torrent Of evidence on this
subject, We will pass to Stoddard.
She mot him here. We cannot find
him. | do not blame man for not
giving his testimony If he can help 1t.
Stoddard is a brakeman. This afianced
Of Baldwin. She met him, by her own
story, at I or 0 o'clock and went away
with him and stayed till midnight II
shows the connection begun at Cotton
was Continued. This story Of the water
closet Is all fabrication. She bad been
here juat before for days. She must
have been acquainted with doz-
en- women, yet this poor little
girl had to sleepin 81 outhauss allnight.
The most yidiculols abatement ever
made. She was Ia tho arms Of Stoddard
as she had been In Cotton.
In cases Of adultery the Courts do not
compel US TO prove the parties were
taken JiasraAts dlIiesa. All we have to
do Is 10 show circumstances out of which
/ the inference is natural. In this case
there is no more to be demanded.
AT $40 an interim a ten minutes was
taken, =
REsUsnSe, col. HOWARD
Referred TO the charge that money had
been disbursed to secure witnesses. He
did not think Baldwin would venture to
do such thing. II he has disbursed
dollar improperly / viii leave the case.
