MRS. RAWS0N.
The Servant Who Was Preferred to
Her Testifes Against Her.
She Makes Some Rich, Rare and Racy State
ments-The Defendant Interpolates Some
Interesting Soto Voce Remarks.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 26.-The trial of
Mrs. Meckie L. Rawson for the shooting
of her husband S attorney Lawyer Whit
ney, during proceedings for divorce by
Banker Rawson, was resumed this morn
ing. Bridget Quigley, housekeeper for
the Rawsons, was the first witness
She is the woman who Mrs. Raw
son alleges was preferred to herself
by Mr.. Rawson, and it was at once evil
dent ''no love was LOST between them
Miss Quigley's opinion of her late mis-
tress was not of a high order, and she
proceeded in the calmest manner to Law
bare what she alleged to be incidents in
the private life of the defendant She
asserted that Mrs. Rawson called at Mr..
Rawnson s home before her marriage
with Mr.. Rawson, that on her return
from the wedding trip at night she in
sisted on seeing
THE WEDDING PRESENTS,
that she moved all the pictures in the
parlor the next day TO put up her own,
that she went to see a fortune-teller who
informed her that her husband would not
live long, and that she (witness) did not
leave Rawson mansion at the command
of Mr.. Rawson; on the contrary, Mrs.
Rawson offered her az advance in wages
if she would stay. Miss QuingIev
also asserted that Mrs. Rawson was ad
dicted to the use of profane and vulgar
language, and proceeded to give alleged
samples of it, which were of a character
to preclude their publication and which
were IN fact so shocking as to call out a
protest from Judge Tuthfll.
Mrs. Quigley's testimony was punctu-
ated occasionally by explanations from
Mrs. Rawson TO the general effect
that witness was drawing
on her imagination for her
facts to most astonishing degree Mrs.
RawSOn also took occasion to sugpest
soto vOce, that the sealskin cloak and
laces with which Bridget had adorned
herself withal were
THE PRICE OF HER SHAME.
County Physician Meyer, the next wit
ness, gave it as his opinion as an expert
that Mrs. Rawson was not insane at the
time of the shooting.
Before the court adjourned for noon
recess the jury were removed. because
Mr.. Elliott, state IS attorney, wanted to
make n statement. He said he had heard
some of the ladies connected with the de-
Tense had received threatening letters.
He said that if the ladies would give him
any clew as TO the perpetrators he would
see they were punished.
ooh, let those letters and writers be
passed by with contempt, - said Judge
Tuthil. The court has received such /
a letter, written with typewriter so as
TO conceal the authorship. The court is
not bothering about them -
