loved him and who loved him still.
Afternoon.
The attendance If anything, was larger
in the afternoon than before. Many new
faces were noticed among the lady specta
tors. Those who were deniod admission in
the morning waited until adjournment and
took advantage of the opportunity TO get in
and secure seatSr Some brought lunches,
but others denied themselves refreshment
preferring TO fast rather than lose sight of
one act in the now celebrated case.
Miss Biechler waslin much brighter spirits
and came in with Ii smile on her face She
chattcd with Jutga Baldwin and looked
more pleased than at any time since the
trial commenced. =
General Gown resumed his argument,
with further reference to the letters. taking
the last one to read and comment upon. He
said that in some respects 1t was different
from the others. They were written under
mental STRAIN and, during stormy times.
After the Quincy separation King tele-
graphed her, Hold the fort, we are man
aud wife just the same" He also wrote her
o letter saying, Il cannot give you up" In
that letter he dictated a telegram, for her to
send him, saying :36 HLibbio has not heard
from you. I understand aud agree and
asked her to sign it "Lige," so
get hold of il, they would
not understand. In that letter lie made Il
new declaration OF love. She went then to
Cleveland and wrote her letter from there,
which was the last one until in November.
In his letter he found fault with her for writ
ing to Harry Woolwor5h King, for in her
answer she says it was don for his (Harry's)
sake and protection. Here, too, is where
she uses the expression, III YOU ever"go
back on me again God help you
" Ii NOT list You Live"
That was the natural result of q
mind after going through all that had pre-
viously occurred she had repeatedly said Il
am going crazy and can't stand 1t any longer"
He had written her to come back and al
ways be true to him and she said she would
be true to him always. Thc first separation
was made, not that he might marry another
woman, but to bring peace TO the home of his
parents. | am writing the life of this woman
so far as possible on the horizon, IN letters of
gold, and that you may take it with you into
the juryroonl, and there learn of the charac-
ter of the woman, who has been so tempest
tossed upon the sea of adversely. When it
came down to the time of the second separa-
ton, however, the agent OF King found that
she held marriage contract, Il document
that her lawyer, Mr.. Mills, told her was
good but it did not require the wisdom of Il
Mills to tell US that.
They thrust money upon her and it came
about by their informing her that Harry mad

ing him and wanting money. They told her
when they went to Quincy that Harry had
told them that he was tired OF her and
wanted to get rid of her He may have said
that, gentlemen of the jury, because he was
playing fast and loose-tirst with his father
and then with his wife. The states attorney
tells you that she had the advice of IL brilliant
lawyer That ne was an able lawyer is true,
but that he gave her good advice absolutely
deny. / regret 10 say 1t, Tor IL may reach

is true and undisputed, and my own per-

Again she signs the paper, self-sacrihcing
again for the protection OF Mr. and Mrs.
King and their daughter. Bear in mind that
she does not sign it 50 That Harry can marry
