ALICE MITCHELL TEsTIFlEs.
Says She Wanted to Keep Freda Ward
For Herself.


MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 2S.-In the Nit
chell murder case the defendant was call
ed. She arose slowly from her chair and
walked deliberately to the witness stand.
She was not sworn and answered the
questions of Gen. Peters in low but firm
voice.
She said she had known Freda as long
as she could remember. She visited her
at Gold Dust twice.
The last time she remained two weeks.
She said she knew of nothing unpleasant
between her and Mrs. Volkmar She saw
Ashley Roselle twice. She thought he was
in love with Freda Ward. She knew the
way Freda spoke of him that they were
engaged.
81 didn't want Freda to marry any
young man, but wanted her myself" :"
The witness began to cry and continued,
"Freda winked at me near the Custom
House. That wink, with the right eye"
said she, ''meant I love you
Lille said to me as l started to kill
Freda, Where are you goingf l replied l
wanted see Freda once more"
Here the witness burst out crying
again.
Whe Cen Peters ssked that Alice be
placed on the stand the defence made the
objection that there was no precedent for
such action. A hot argument ensu ed,
and Gen. Wright made an eloquent plea
to save the family from the humiliation
Of Alice making an exhibition of herself
on the stand. After she had testified
Gen. Peters stated that the State had
nothing to offer. Gen. Wright said the
defense was willing to submit the case
without argument and Gen. Peters after
a moments conversation with some of the
junior counsel, said he did not care to
argue the case on account of the proceed
ings in the Federal Court at Nashville in
the H. Clay King murder case, in which
Gen. Peters, Gen. Wright and Col. CAN'T
represented the State.
Judge Dubose will not charge the jury
until tomorrow. Miss Mitchell was
taken back to the Jail, and as she left the
courtroom she smiled and chatted with
her father and the attorneys

Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1892-04-26

The Gslesburg Republican Re gister
says that Mayor Cooke of that city Wis
tied W. S. Hook. the president of the J..
8. E road. on railroad business, and that
Mr.. Hook said the route to Canton had
been absolutely settled. but that not a
foot beyond had been determined
Therefore Galesburg is still in the race.
The president said that by this route to
Rock Island the road hoped to reach an
outlet to the northwest and that it
would most certainly be built. The
mayor found that President Hook was
not much acquainted with Galesburg.
He gave him description Of the s1vsn-
tsges and facilities Of the improvements
in progress, and of the thrift and growth
of the city End invited him to come and
look for himself. He found that Mr..
Hook was inclined to look upon Mon
mouth as better point for the road. as
he thought that city is not SO much under
the e., B. & Q. domination. Mr.. Cooke
took occasion to argue with him on this
point. holding that Galesburg would give
the new road its proportion Of business.
The company is willing to receive prop
osition from Gslesburg the same as it has
from others. this being not bonus, but q
guarantee for depot grounds and right of
way through the city. While nothing
has been done yet, still this much can be
said, that Gslesburg wants that road.

Great was the commotion when she ap-
peared in the morning with the evidence
of having slain seven coons, and she has
been a hunter ever since. Her father pre-
sented her with double barreled shotgun,
and she is an expert in its use. She is also
fearless rider, well educated, quite good
looking, and not a bit masculine in appear
ance. But she naturally loves coon hunt
ing. One night she fell into quagmire
and had to send her dogs home for help.
Twice she has been severely bitten and
scratched by co6hs, the last time about a
year ago.
One night she heard u racket in the hen
house. Thinking that coon had got in,
she arose, and taking lantern and her
brothers. ball club went out to dispatch
the animal. The farm hand had forgotten
to close the door of the henhouse, and Lena
found it wide open. The chickens were
still restless, and going to the door the girl
held the lantern over her head and looked
in. AS she did so monster coon attempted
to run by her through the door. The girl
struck at the animal and hit it, but did not
disable it. AS she raised her club to deal
it another blow it sprang upon her with
such force that she staggered back, and
striking her heel against stick she fell,
with the coon scratching at her throat.
Protecting herself as best she could with
her arms the girl called for her father
who came running from the house with a
gun. The coon, undaunted, kept gnawing
and scratching at the girls arms Her
father did not dare to attempt to shoot the
animal for fear of killing his daughter,
and clubbing his gun he knocked the coon
from the girls body and the animal es-
capped. The girl was seriously hurt this
time, and she was obliged to lie in bed
three weeks before her wounds healed and
she recovered her strength.
She makes good deal of money from
the skins, and has made herself magnifi-
cent hunting dress of tanned coon hide,
elegantly trimmed. In this she is said to
dazzle the eye as splendid Diana of New
New England.
