witness who had known Mrs. Reynolds
a long time stated that she had treated

the children, testified that she was born
i'll Pennsylvania; that her father was
still living; that she had three married

day to work, and that she took in wash
ing at home. She finally became ac-
quainted with man named Mcintyre,
whom she married, but did not live with

obtained a divorce from Mcintyre
Mrs. Reynolds often suggested that
she take up the life of sporting woman.
She had always told her that she had no
heart for that business. She claimed
that the statement that she had lived
with deputy constable was false. She
stated that she was taking in sewing,
and that Dawes, whom she knew quite
we'll, suggested that if she took certain
house on Jefferson street he would come
and board there.
She denied that she had'ever lived in
adultery with Dawes or any other per-
son. Mrs. Reynolds was a servant in
her sisters family in Topeka when she
was little girl. That was the first time
she ever met her. Mrs. Reynolds and
herself had lived together for long
time, and she had repeatedly asked her
to give her the children. She had always
refused, saying they were all she had in
the world. When the writ of habeas
corpus was served, Mrs. Reynolds had in
the presence of the children called her
vile names, and used language unfit for
publication.
Judge Clark, at the conclusion of the
testimony, gave the guardianship Of the
children to Mrs. Reynolds.

lowed to file an amended answer to the
complaint. The case was thereupon
continued until July 18th for further
