THE FEMALE DETECTIVE AGAIN.
On Tuesday morning Miss Brantner
went across the street from her home
TO Mrs. Parkhurss's 10 practice on the
piano, according tocustom. She found
the Fdano in use and started mack
home, when Mrs. Snyder came out OF
the millinery store in the same build
! ing and asked her to take a walk. She
said she was going down on Front
street TO dressmaker's to get a dress
and wanted Miss Braftner to accom-
pany her. After considerable per-
suasi,sn she consented, and Mrs. sny
| der took her down 10 Front street into
! the Denny block. They went upstairs
and when they came to door in the
I H. 3fr<.z. H.. Il
ing, This is the place, pushed her
inside and then closed the door from
the outside.
ALONE WITH NIrKRRstrAM.
This only person in the room was
James Wickersharn. He locked the
door and placed the key in his pocket.
II was about 10 O'Clock in the morn
| ing when this took place. Wicker
shan az once commenced upbraiaing
her for not making the statement she
had promised. He said he had hired
o shorthand reporter at big expense
/ 90 50 to Whites Office TO take her
statement, and that she had fooled
other persons than himself by her
o5stlnacy.
LUCAS To THE RESCUE.
Then he presented her a paper and
Insisted upon her signing it. Threats
and antreaties proving unavaiiing. be
stepped to the door aud called in
man who proved TO be his friend
Lucas. He then joined with Wicker
sham in urging her to sign the paper.
She stillTefused, and Mrs, Snyder was
called in from the hallway 10 add her
I 49, a
about two hours pleading Wicker
sham dismissed the other two and
tried new plan.
THE WOMAN AND THE COWARD.
Now, Sadie, I" said he, II told you
I'd blow your brains out ii yon didn't
do what told you TO do and" draw
ing a revolver and laying IL or the
table as he spoke with great deiibera-
ton, If You don't sign this paper
and help me out of this scrape IN put
you where you'll stay for a long
| time"
She finally consented To sign the
statement and Wickersham put away
/ his pistol. He caressed her for time
and chen called in an old man with
/ long gray beard and moustache, who
was called Mr.. Collins hy the party,
and took her acknowledgment to the
signature. She claims, however. that
she did not take the oath, bat sat inn
passive while il was being admins
tered. The notary took this docu-
/ ment and left the room.
RApEBAUoH's NAME.
Then Wickcrsham produced am
other paper containing some
thing 20 the effect that II. +.
Radebaugh had been guilty
OF criminal intimacy with her and
that IL had been az his instigation that
she made complaint against Wicker
sharn. She does not know whether
she signed such a statement or not;
but thinks that Wickersham erased
most OF Il before she put her name 10
1T.
| Both OF these statements she says
were signed under duress, and that
she was in such condition frcm
fright that she could not understand
| their contents.
AT 5 o'clock Wiekersham allowed
her TO go She had been in the room
for five hours and was so III and ner-
vous that is was with difficulty that
she reached homo.
