 left hip which might have been occa- stoned by fall. l cannot see how else they were occasioned. There were other scratches and marks of violence. Her person had undoubtedly been violated. lie then gave reasons and explanations not fit for publication, and was quite positive in his statements. Cross examination did not modify his state ments.
 The Mother TestIhes.
 Sarah k. Dean, the mother of "the woman in the case," was next called and testified that she had known the prisoner for over five years. He had worked for her husband and was treated as one of the family. She had sent after water and few minutes after the household was aroused to look after the missing girl She suspected Robinson after the premises had been searched and he did not appear to help look for the missing girl. She had never sus- pected that any intimacy existed be- tween them and had never refused to allow her daughter to go with him on proper occasions.
 She testified as to the condition of the girls clothing and the style of neither garments worn by her daughter on the evening of her abduction. They were the best kind suited for a warm climate. She also testified that Robinson read novels and had other frivolous habits.
 What the Father Says.
 A. l.. Dean testified that he was not at home the night of the abduction, but was on the day before. Robinson had worked for hIm off and on for five or six years. He finally discharged him be- cause he would not do his work. Never suspected any intimacy and would have given his consent if the young people had asked his permission to marry.
 Had d borrowed gun stolen from his wagon the night before the event oc- cured. Robinson wanted to have an interview while in jail but he did not care to talk to him. He captured the prisoner in company with officer lank- ard and the Indian trailer. Robinson said, "l have treated you mean, kill me-" did not know the full partcn- lars of what he had done at that time. lie had treated the boy kindly and given him the lightest jobs on account Oi his diminutive size. He had treated him as one oi the family. He would al- low his daughter to marry who she wished.
 Deputy SheriT Standard.
 He recei we'd the warrant for his arrest the day before he was captured. He followed the trasl with tine Indian from the West End house to where he was captured near the race track.
 The prosecution now rested their case.
 Tho Defense.
 George Dean, brother of the girl was the first witness called for the defense but he stated no thing neH and the per sistent efforts of the attorney on the defense were at last checked by the le. nient but decisive wisdom of Judge Gooding. The boy said the young peo- pie had been friends but he knew of no stronger tie.
 Ben RheinhsTt Relates.
 He had met the prisoner on several occasions at dances and at the Gospel tent. Had seen nothing improper but they used to get of in the corner some times and seemed to enjoy one anothers society.
 Upon cross examination the venerable attorney for the defense wanted to know whether they acted like lovers but he cOoly answered, he had never been in love and did not know.
 Mir. DOheney saw them together at church and they seemed to enjoy one anOthers society. saw them start away and walked behind of them as he went home for one and half blocks but they did not walk arm in arm.
 Tug Wilson WiggIes
 Tug Wilson, the man who plead guilty to horse stealing and was sentenced to two years, was next called, and at first created some sensation by stating he saw young Robinson and some "lady" kneeling behind a shed near the West End house, about five days before the abduction. Upon crOss-examination, however, he became confused and lo- cated the shed on vacant block In Q vain effort to extricate himself he be- came more confused and missed the bearings even after the directions were clearly defined Co him by counsel for the prosecution.
 RobInsOn's Statement.
 The statement made by the prisoner concluded the defense and was in fact the only evidence offered bearing on the case in his defense.
 He corrObOrated the statements of the prosecuting witness except ill regard to the iorciOle abduction. He said he had for some time held illicit communities tions and had been forbidden to come on the premises by the father. The mother had tried to induce him to mar ry the girl, and that she went with him by pre-arrangement. She had submitted to his demands on many occasions, even under the parental roof, and twice on the ill-planned trip.
 He acknowledged having gun, but said she hid it under the porch SO they would have no trouble in getting it. She had also fixed lunch which lasted throughout the trip. She had not fallen down but once while on the trip and this time fell forward in the mud and struck on her hands. Did not know how the abrasions had occurred.
 He had left her on returning with a promise to marry ii parents consented and had hid the gun and $45 in cash to- gether with some clothes under drift wood. Did not return to town for fear of arrest or violence from relatives of the girl.
 The cross-examination of Maggie Dean was very rigid and was q.ite en- barrassing, but the young girl answered all questions in an innocent, chilklike manner.
 Every effort was made to break down her statement, but she stuck to il 10 he last without wagering. Two or three times her indignation was aroused and her answers were quite cutting and s2r- castle, but not one in a thousand ccuid at her age pass the trying Ur,ival tu which she was subjected by the willy counsel without bei:aying emotion.
