Plaintiffs attorney here started to
prove the amount of property owned
by defendant at various times during
the last five or six years, but objec-
tions were made by the defense to
many of the questions, particularly to
those put concerning the wealth of
defendant at any time other than at
the said breach of promise to marry.
The question then arose as to when
the alleged breach occurred. There

evident emotion. Two kilograms
were also introduced, one dated De-
cember 3Oth, 1892, announcing the
death of Mr.. Saulpaugh's mother,
and the other, without date, that OF
his father.
They were both addressed to Mrs.
Booth, under which name witness
Mrs. Stein) said she was then going.
This completed the letter evidence.
These letters are all more or less
alike, and were simply introduced to
show the confidential relations exist
ing between the parties at the time
and to prove Saulpaugh's promise to
marry the plaintiff and their prepare
tion for the marriage.
Witness further testified that when
she received defendants announce
ment of his marriage she sent for this
will and for her papers and abstracts
and for some money that he owed
her. che had promised to buy me

and told me to buy it and that he
would pay for it. The price was S1O5,
so l sent for the money, too. When
I received my will | tore off part OF
it, and that part that is now gone is
what tore off,"
GAS near as you can recollect, Mrs.
Stein," said the attorney, ''give the
dates and under what circumstances
Mr.. Saulpaugh made direct promise
to marry you"
'sWell, in June, 1891, he promised to
marry me. He wanted me to go to
Hudson, Wisconsin, and he said he
had his dress suit all ready, but when
the time arrived he seemed unwilling.
He said he was afraid it would dis
please his father and mother, and
that his mother had all his
money, and he thought it best
to get the cmoney before getting
married or he might not
get it at all, so he asked for more
time and again promised to marry me
soon.
"After that he again promised to

She Wanted Money.

That plaintiff received money from
defendant at various times there can
be little doubt. There is a broad hint
to that effect in this:
MANKATo, Mimi, March %, 1898
MY DEAR "TooTs::"-I have just re-
ceived two letters from you. Now,
"Toots, think you must not have
read my letters right or else you don't
understand them-read them over
again. l am sending you money that
| really need, and / have written to
you nearly every day. You must re-
member it takes ten days for a letter
to get to you. Now, "Toots," / have
not written roasting" you for any
thing of the kind, and I can't imag-
inc how you have read my letters.
l am sorry you are sick. My father
is very sick now, and have been with
him in his room at nights. You say
in your letters 'Out of sight out
Of mind" This is not true. You
have been in my mind more than
ever before, and between your being
sick and my fathers sickness, I am
about sick myself.
Alice, am very sorry you think OF
me so. Ihope you are getting better
and have got good location. would
be glad to come out and see you if
you have no objection. Excuse this
short letter. As promised, I enclose
a draft for $50. Think as kindly OF
this 'moon-face" as possible. Will
write again in day or SO. 'P."

Her Lies History.

The forenoon session opened at a..
m. and consisted mainly of a continu-
ance of the direct examination. There
was a big crowd present. 1t was a
general review of the testimony which
has been given all along.
A short recess was taken at IL
o'clock, after which the cross-eXami-
nation of plaintiff was commenced.
Attorney WEIGH began, by shrewd and
forceful questioning, to draw from her
the story of her life. An attempt was
made by plaintiffs attorney to raise
objections against testimony revert
ing back of the time when defendant
is supposed to have made his first
promise of marriage, but the court
allowed the questions to be answered
and her history was given.
Plaintiff admitted that she had
been fast woman from 1880 in Den
yer, where she was known as Alice
Booth. Then she went to New York,
/, from there to Buffalo, then to ST..
Paul, Omaha, Minneapolis and Chi
cago, admitting that she 'was not
always known as Alice Booth"
Mrs. Stems direct examination was
resumed this morning, her testimony
in most respects being the same as
yesterday.
Being called upon the stand she tes-
titled as follows:
81 came to Mankato for the first
time about the middle of August,
1889, at Clarence Saulpaugh's request,
and stayed till the following May.
We stopped at the Mankato house for
awhile, then went to the Saulpaugh
house, and I became housekeeper.
Mr.. Saulpaugh said to me After you
obtain your divorce we will get ready
to be married. He said he was going
to see his father and mother and get
their consent, but soon afterwards he
| said he could not nerve himself up,
and put it off till the next day. We
| talked about the decorations and
flowers and concluded to have quiet
wedding"
The plaintiff here at request OF
counsel, stated that she is 80 years
old; that Mr.. Saulpaugh at the time
of their engagement told her he was
81 in 1889.
Continuing, she said: 81 kept hurry
| ing him to ask his fathers consent
but each time he asked for more time
till at last he said that somebody hao
! told his father of our engagement
and that his father objected to the
marriage, and he wanted more time
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1894-12-21

to win his father over. This cOndi-
tion of affairs continued till l went
to Chicago in the spring, and he said
he would come there in two or three
weeks and we would get married. He
said he could sell the hotel. The
ceremony was to be performed at the
Palmer house, and Mr.. Weber, Mr.
Saulpaugh's friend, was to be there. /
stayed in Chicago three weeks, but
Saulpaugh did not come, and then |
went at his request to St. Paul. |
saw him the day [ got there, and
asked him why he did not come to
Chicago. He said he could not get his
fathers consent, and that he had not
yet been able to sell the hotel. |
suggested that he keep the hotel and
live in it and [ would be housekeeper,
to which he agreed, but said he could
not marry me yet. This was in June,
1890. I next talked to him about the
marriage in the fall of 1890. He said
that we would get married on my
birthday, that is, on the 18th of Sep
TENDER. He came to ST.
Paul a few days before this 9th of
September and said again that
on account of his fathers displeasure
he could not marry me yet. / got
angry at this and scolded him, but he
begged off and said that it was not
altogether his fault. He told me to
keep my courage up and it would be
all right yet.
"Then in a week after this he
came up again and asked if [ was will
ing to marry him. l said yes, think
so much of you that I'll trust you once
more There was no time set, for his
mother was very i'll. He wanted a
long time but finally we set it for
some time in April or May 1891. At
this time was living with Mr.. and
Mrs. LOOMS in ST. Paul.
81 stayed with them from the fall
of 1890 until May of '91. Then again
we were talking about the marriage
in the parlor. Mr.. and Mrs. LOOMS
were there.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1894-12-21

to have the wedding take place soon
and this time at Buffalo or Detroit or
anywhere that l should suggest, but
he failed to come and I was again dis
appointed. Then in August, 1891, we
had made all the arrangements. We
were to have Mr.. and Mrs. Saulpaugh
and Mr.. LOOMS the Episcopal min
lister and his wife present, and after
the ceremony we were to have ban
quet, but just at the last minute he
again asked for more time. He said
he was afraid it would incur his
fathers displeasure. This was in my
room and I felt bad over it for he had
put me off for three years now. We
had some words and he tried to cheer
me up and to explain, but | told him
l did not believe him any more for he
had deceived me in the past and |
could not trust him longer. I went
and laid down ON the bed and put a
pillow over my face. Then he called
Mrs. LOOMS and promised me in her
presence that we would go to Hudson
the next morning. So [ prepared my
self and made all necessary arrange
ments. Next morning he went down
town to find out what time the
train left and to order a bus for me,
but finally he refused to go under
some pretense or other and again
broke his promise.
"He made other promises at differ
ent times, once about month after
this, but with the same result. Then
we had talk soon after his mother
died and I urged that we marry soon,
but he said it would not look we'll so
soon after his mothers death. I said
people now days don't wait long after
their parents death; that it is not
viewed in the same light in which it
formerly was, but he asked for year
but I would not consent, thinking
that it was too long to wait and made
him promise to marry in six months:
but by that time his father died and
SO again he refused.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1894-12-21

were many promises and as many
breaches according to the PLAINTIFFS
theory, and they insisted that they
could choose any one of those and
prove Mr. Saulpaugh's wealth at that
time, while defendant contended that
as each new promise was but salts
faction and renewal of the one pre-
ceding it, the last promise made was
