Rose that his success all deuended upeH himself
He ought to lock her up or else take her dress
away. When lie got home late that night he
found note under his door from her asking him
to meet her al IL 80 o'clock that night. He did
so, and IL was there she explained hat she
would rather live with a Niger or a Chinaman
than with her husband,
g took her home with me 10 keep her from
going TO the CremOrne TO sling beer. / thought
II her husband would not treat her decent Size
could have place TO sleep and something to eat
as long as had any money!
After that meeting they resorted 10 a saloon
and talked over matters while drinking.
One or two other witnesses were examined
during the afternoon, but nothing OF Importance
