he screen door near Annie's bedroom
Ind called. Not receiving any answer
Mrs. Fay pushed the door open and saw
he girl lying upon the bed apparently |
with DIR. Brill and the de-
endant standing at the bedside. Mrs.
Fay asked the meaning of this strange
illness, and turning to the defendant
said: "Is Annie sick?" He replied,
''Yes. l did not want to disturb you,
but as Annie told me overnight that she
was sick and wanted doctor, thought
I would bring one round this morning."
The doctor then said: II suppose
you know, madam, that the girl
is in q delicate condition !"
whereupon the witness turned to
the defendant and said: "lf you
don't marry this girl today, Charlie, I'll
shoot you!" The defendant said he
would do 30, and Mrs. Fay then ordered
him to prepare her breakfast. but after
carrying some coal and kindling into the
kitchen he made the best of his oppor-
tunity and ran of, leaving both coal and
wood by the stove.
There being no cross-examination, DR..
Eli Fay, the next witness, was called to
the stand. He testified as to knowing
both complainant and defendant, but as
he did not know anything about the
affair except from hearsay, he was ex-
cused, and DR.. Brill put upon the stand
He stated that he had practiced medi-
cine for three years past and resided at
present at No. 216 s. Fort street. On
the l1th of December last between the
hours of 8: 80 and o'clock 8. M, the de-
fendant called at his Office and requested
him to visit sick girl at DIR. Fay's
house. The defendant led the way to
the girls room and on arrival the wit
ness found Annie Johnson lying on the
bed suffering great pain. He asked the
complainant in defendants presence il
she was married and she stated that she
was not. He also asked the defendant
who said she was in delicate condition
but denied that it was by him wher
questioned. An examination of the CIR
verified the doctors belief as to the cause
of her sickness, and shortly afterwardl
Mrs. Fay came into the room. He pre-
scribed for the girl and left her.
On cross ssexamination the doctor stateC
that the girl was very much depressed
when he was called in. In speaking
to him she spoke audibly and in English
and as the defendant stood within thret
feet of the witness he must have heart
all she said.
An effort was made by the defense Il
show that the defendant could not hea
what was said but the Court called th'
attorney TO order, and at this stage th
prosecution rested its case, and reces
was taken until p. m.
When court re-convened at o'clocl
the attorney for defendant moved 70
the dismissal of his client on the groun
that it had not been proven by any othe
| person than his accuser that he ha
promised marriage to her, and that
had not been proven that she was chast

Judge Owens denied the motion to dis
miss, and the defendant, Snowden, wa
placed on the stand. He said that b
had never promised marriage to bel
and stated that he had been unduly II
innate with her a number of times.

and after that the same privileges wei
accorded him several times at Mrs. Law

and some nights he staid all night wit
her. He emphatically denied that b
had told her anything about his ranch O
