door of a pooIroom on Stockton street,
near O'Farrell. | asked himif his name

Here the remarks were so positively vile
that the witness asked the privilege of
writing them for the benefit Of the jury.
The paper was Inspected by counsel and
then passed around for the de ectation of
the dozen in the box.
The document was inspected and the
witness resumed:
Then | struck him and he struck me.
knocking me down and splitting my head
open. | then went home and told my wife

the same thing"
ION the day after the shooting where
did you first see your wife? ?"
"At the North Harbor police station"
THAT is all for the Defense" said Mr..
Ferral, and he turned the witness over to
the prosecution. The first questions were
intended to elicit statement that Worth
ington was bigamist, but they were
promptly ruled out.
Didn't your first wife run away with n
negro. and didn't you bring her back %
asked Mr.. Spencer.
The audience and Jurors Uttered while
The Judge made ruling. Said Spencer:
LET us see what manner of man is this
that paradeS himself as an Injured hus-
band"
Mr.. Ferral had prepared new list Of
objections at the lunch hour, and he used
them assiduously during the next lew i'm
portaDt questions. The prosecution stated
that it was prepared to prove the utter n-
credibilitv of the witness, and that the in
terruptions of the defense would not de-
feat the object.
did you ever tell your wife that she
must either shoot Harry Baddeley or be
shot nersef?'

Don't you think the Baddeleys were
anxious to break off this relationship be-
tween their brother and your wife?" in
qured Mr.. Spencer.
II don't know. They didn't seem so.
Miss Baddeley asked me if l knew this
Kelly woman, and she said she thought
she was at the bottom of tho whole

did anything unusual occur previous
to this escapadeT
"Yes. Annie Kelly and my wife were
constantly whispering. and Annie Kelly
always started it. [ wish had paid m ore
attention to it. and | would have broken
her neck. She broke up my little happy
nome"
Did you ask your wife to explain the
whispering@
Eyes. She said Annie Kelly wanted to
know Something"
the prosecution again took Mr.. Worth
iDgton through the labyrinth of events in
the celebrated case The witness was
quite positive in regard to his previous
assertions and did not materially change
the statements made at the morning SEES
sion.
Ibid you not notice your wife's clothes
gradually disappearing from the closet?"
MIR. Ferral asked.
NO; the clothes were taken out by
Annie Kelly and Baddeley in lump I'd
like to have caught them; there would
have been picnic.'
"4o on would probably have struck the
woman" sneered Mr.. Hinkle.
Ii was nearly o'clock when Mr. Spencer
announced to the witness that he would
not need him any more for the present.
Warrington seemed relieved to hear that
the unpleasant questioning of the morn
ing would not be imm edately resumed.
Mrs. Warrington followed her husband
on the stand. and the morbid audience
craned its neck, cleared its throat and
settled in gleefu anticipation OF loling
more m0rsels of filthy evidence under its
tongue. 1t was disappointed for the day,
as Judge Seawell ordered an adjournment
until 10 o'clock this morning.
