S. A. Kirkham'S testimony was as

North Minneapolis, three years. Am
a stockman. Before that | was de-
teective at Worlds Fair. Before this
| was on Minneapolis police force.
Went to the army from volunteer
Minnesota. Knew plaintiff while L
was on the police force. | arrested her
in the summer of 'S6 at Mackey-Legg
block on NicOllet street. First time L
saw her | went with two or three Offlc-
.erS to Mackey-Legg block where there
was some loud talking: this woman
and Lou Harrison were having row.
Asked him to let me in. lie told me
| would have to talk through the door:
We afterwards said we would go ana
get warrants. Lou called me back
and said we could fix it some way, and
he agreed then and there to quit the
woman. We went in and the woman
opened bureau, as II looking
for weapon. She got
quart bottle of whisky and
L
and broke. Harrison said the chief
had given him permission to live with
the woman on the quiet. Next time
j arrested her was about a month
after. near the Mackey-Legg block.
She was raising another row on the
street. We took her to the station.
She was scantily dressed. Married 30
years. Know Lew Harrison. Had
seen him on the streets since 'S5. Have
been cattle dealer for year. Was
hired to 90 to worlds fair by Captain
Bonfeld. Haven't seen this woman
since 'S6, until | saw her in court.
Had to use force to arrest her. Took
her to Central station, on First ave-
nue. and Nicollet street. Didn't see
her booked there. Tailor puts it
down. Never saw Saulpaugh until L
came here for court. First advised OF
this suit six months ago by
Detective Howard. Have known Mr..
Haney four years. Talked with him
three weeks ago about the case. Did
not arrest Harrison first time. Last
time Harrison wasn't present. Last
arrest month after first, which was
in summer of 'S6. The woman had
nothing on her buta night dress when
/ arrested her on the street. The
Mackey-Legg has been considered of
ill-repute. Don't know that Attorney
Hayne has an office in the block.
Have known this block since '86. Was
subpenaed by Mark Hayne three or
four days before / came here. There
was a crowd on the street when / ar
rested plaintiff. | did not book her
