yOu iCiI tLc OOuIu, SdIu uer attorney.
II came to Minneapolis in August,
1854, stayed there in house of ill-fame
two weeks when l came to st. Paul
and became an inmate of 176 East Fifth
street. Here met D0herty in January,
1855, on Saturday night, as he visited
the place total stranger to me. He
was hardly sober and had been drinking
considerably. He was in the house un-
til Sunday noon and agreed to come
back Wednesday. When he came
Wednesday l met him again, and we
became fast friends and henceforth he
was the most frequent visitor to the
house, calling upon me as often as twice
a day. He very often called at
the house at noon, and stayed and
chatted until he was due at the express
Office. After months acquaintance,
ne would eat his supper and hurry
down to the house, and
STAY THERE TILL MORNING.
In July. 1885, left the Fifth street
house and roOmed with Doherty at 228
East Seventh street. Here we lived as
man and wife, he even keeping his
clothes and all he had on earth with me,
and I've often mended his shirts and
sewed on buttons for him." "When did
the differences between you and
Doherty begin, which eventually
resulted so seriously to you both?'
drunk, which was very often.
he would come into the rooms and beat
me in terrible manner. On two occa-
siOns he blacked my optics and scratched
my face. We stayed there until the
following November, when 'Dotty' and
| went back to 176 East Fifth street.
.'You call him DOtty. don't you? What
for, please" said the attorney. THAT
is the name we all called him by."
Proceed and tell us more about your
life in his company" ''One night in
October" said the witness, smiling, and
"'Dotty' came home drunk and
ture, and really did begin to de-
molish things. The landlord called
in policeman to arrest him..
but told him that everything was all,
right and nothing had been damaged.,.
'What did you do that for?'' "To save
Dotty," was her reply. Ibid he beat
you that night?' inquired the attorney.
"Oh, yes, he smashed my face and
kicked me all over the body. l was hor4
ribly bruised. l left Fifth street and
took up quarters on Cedar street. All
living together" What time was
this?" I'm March. 1856. Sometimes:
yes, very often, when -Dotty was not
collecting for the express company, be
would spend the afternoon with me-"
Here the witness told of her migra
tiOnS with DOherty to various parts Of
the city. each time taking rooms to leave
them on account of Doherty's bolster
Gus conduct and fighting propensities.
Shortly after 5 o'clock Pearl Wilson re-
ceived telegram from Brainerd, cali
ing her there Oh matter of importance.
The court was informed and allowed
the defense to put in her testimony
then, so that she might return to her
''place of business" at Brainerd. Pearl
Wilson was sworn and took the stand
in the typical manner of a brazen
harlot. What she said for Clara Blatz
amounted to nothing, and if it
had any weight at all. il
was against the defense. She
simply corroborated the testimony given
by Clara BlatZ regarding the breaking
of the latter'S jaw, When Attorney
Warner finished his examination and it
came to Mr. Egan's turn to cross-ex-
anime the notorious woman, there was
court such as has seldom been attempt
ed under the shadow of the bench.
Judge Egan asked among the first Of
his questions: "You used to i've
in Dakota, didn't you?'' Eyes,

"You are the woman who shot the man
Sca-r What! What! Blankety

here!" shouted the judge, as the court

''Well, I'll let him know w---
ETC., said the witness. as Attorney War
ner told her to shut up. Attorney Egan
had touched her flint and the powder
flashed in an instant. The jury
got the full benefit of Pearl
Wilson's little escapade, and when
they link it with the facts of her
recent trial in Minneapolis for the mur-
der of Scanlan, they will appreciate her
conduct. The court then adjourned,
again cautioning the jury. Clara Blatz
will probably occupy the stand the
eral other witnesses will testify in the
afternoon and tomorrow. The most
conspicuous character in the court room
is man, said to be Clergyman. He
is an old grey-headed fellow with a
rubicund face and nose, and of rather
aristocratic bearing. He has been first
present and last to leave since the trial
opened, and has forced his seat up to
within foot of the prisoner each day.
Yesterday the court noticed his obstinate
effort to crowd up close to the prisoner
and ordered him to the other end of the
room. This made the old man huffy,
and he reluctantly left his prominent
perch at the beckOning of Deputy
1,unkenheimer The continual nrpspnce
of this minister of the gospel, if such he
is, has evoked much comment, and all
sorts of vague rumOrs are aflOat about
