AT HIS DOOR.
Pearl Raymond's story brings the crime
right to Parkison's door. She told a
straight story of his visit and indicated
time with certainty. Her evidence was
substantiated by the third person, an in
telHgeut young man honest 10 appearance.
1t is believed that Parkison will be re-
called at 10 this morning.
KATE AND MAUDE.
Last evening Salt Lake Kate and Maude
Norton, whose conflict of statement is pc
culiar, to say the least, were brought face
to face before the jury. Maude was bold
and firm. Kate broke down and cried
and finally said that she had been mixed
up almost to hYsteria by the murder and
attendant happenings and could scarcely
be certain ofherself. She said she wanted
to tell the whole truth.
FEATURES.
Two freaks were presented yesterday
for the edi6cation of the jury and amuse-
ment of the spectators, and the diversions
were appreciated. One was a soldier who
spent paw day night seeking spiritual
knowledge instead of visiting Mormon
Hates or the gambling houses. The
other was the man who didn drink, but
who was loaded to the muzzle when ar
rested last Friday and thrown into the
city Jail.
SOBER. ARMED N RATIFIED.
Parkison called at Pearl Raymond's, next
Salt Lake Hates and asked if Baker was
there and what time it was. The madam
responded that Baker did not frequent
her resort and looking at her ,imepiece
found it was precisely | o'clock.
Parkisou's hat was drawn so far over
his face that the N did not know him
until she raised the rim Of the covering
aud looked into his ccsntenance. The
man was strangely aeitated; so nervous
and fdgcity that Miss Raymond remarked
to a civilian present: IF that man has
not done something wrong 1 am very
much mistaken" The citizen was i'm
pressed much the same and said SO.
A half'pint bottle nearly full of whisky
was produced by Parkison and offered his
hostess aud her companion. The man
drank and was made sick by the liquor.
During his stay at Pearls, Parkison
talked OF nothing but the implication Of
himself, Corpl Lyons and Baker in the
THEFT of the X company revolyers. For
half an hour he harped on this story. re-
peatinR it several times. he was sore on
Baker and made this very significant re-
mark: "lfI find Baker, it is he and L for
it."
Having worn off his welcome and ex-
hausted the subject of Baker. Lyon and
the stolen pistols, Parkison prepared to
to leave. The clock was again consulted
and 1t was found the corporal had been in
the house just thirty minutes.
When Parkison arose to go his blouse
had worked up and a rear view dis,
closed a revolver handle sticking from his
right hip pocket. Pearl called his atten.
ton to the prominence of the weapon and
made a shift to assist him in righting his
clothing, but Parkison said ne would dc
that himself.
Parkison, the Raymond woman says,
was entirely sober. She identities the re.

John Marnell corroborated the state.
ments Of Pearl as to to the time and cir
cumstances of Pafkison's visit and his
manner He had an inkling from the
corporal of a desertion plot, which Park
son intimated Baker had divulged.
PARKINSON AND BAKER.
According to George B. Madison, the
piano player, Baker and Parkison left
Kate's together at 1920 the night of the
murder. Some one asked the time al
they were leaving and this hour wal

accompanied the departing guests to the
door and Baker was hidden an affection

Before the final leaving Parkison hac
urged Baker to come on and go to the
post, as they had some call to answer
Baker told him not to be in a hurry anC
Parkison became very angry, leaving in
grand huff, telling Baker he might 20 t.

minutes-hfteeu or twenty, and had cooled
down. He called Baker from the woman
Maud's room. He did not renew th,
quarrel and all was peaceable.
When Madison came on duty THURSDAY
night at 9 o'clock he found Parkinson
Baker, Miller, Wise, Thornburg anC
others present. Baker and Miss MauC
held the sofa down, The witness noticed
that Baker was armed, and the gun work
ing out of his pocket made its possession
by Baker known to several. Maud ad
vised him to give the gun to Kate, wht
was standing by talking to Baker and he
