The preliminary examination OF DR..
L. s. Kellogg OH tho charge OF obiainin;
money under false pretenses, began to-
day In police court. Tho testimony for
the state was To the effect that Mrs. Bed
ford had gone to Kellogg and told him
that she and her husband were very anx-
ious for tho child and that Bediord's peo-
pie were wealthy and II would mean some
money TO have an heir or hcircss. She
wanted 10 make some arrangement To
adopt tho child of someone who wanted
10 get rid of one. Kellogg promised
to do what he could. Opportuncly Miss
Olson camo To Kellogg's Office and
said a man wanted her TO submit to a
criminal operation. The doctor persuaded
! her from this course and as IL was obnoN-
ious to her. that was no difficulty. Then
the doctor told her that wealthy family
was willing 10 take her child when il was
born and arranged for her to 90 TO Bed.
ford's and from there to The hospital.
| Then Mrs. Bedfore told her husband that
she was about to become n mother. The
rest of the story Is known; how the two
women lay in the same house, how the
girl had had baby on Oct. u last and how
Mrs. Bedford passed it off as hers. Miss
Olsen says she first began To think Mrs.
Bedford was not the proper person 10
have the care Of tho child while they were
in the hospital, but her condition pre-
vented her from making the inquiries she
would like TO have made. Later when she
had satisfied herself on that point she
wanted her child.
"l did not mean that my sin should be
visited upon my child" she said.
The charge charge against Kellogg was

through the defense made a motion TO dis
miss the case. This will be argued to
