EMMA TEAL A TOUGH DUCK

The preliminary examination of EN-
ma Teal and Clyde Quay. who murder
ouslv assaulted Pauline Foster with |
knife and razor on the night of Jan. 70
and would have killed her had it not
been for her obesity and the thick rolls
of fat which protected her abdomen,
was commenced before Judge Turner
Yesterday afternoon. Something more
than 10 separate and distinct cuts OF all
sizes and descriptions were lnillcted on
various portions of Paulines immense
anatomy, and she has only just recoV-
cred sufficiently to appear against her
assailants. All of the parties directly
interested in the affair are colored, ana
it is not the first time that Emma Teal
has appeared in police court in connec-
ton with a cutting scrape.
Assistant County Attorney Mattison
conducted the prosecution and Newton
& Jackson appeared for Clyde quay
while Grice & McLernan looked after
Emma TeaPs interests. The massive
| Pauline was called to the stand and
gave her version of the cutting. She
/ said that on the morning of the assault
| she left a saloon at No. AZ East Galena
| street and started to go across the
| street After going a few steps she
| stopped to talk to a couple of friends
! and was talking with them when the
| two defendants came up. Emma Teal
| ran around in front and then turned
| quickly around and they stabbed her
| in the abdomen with a knife and fol-
| lowed the blow up with several other
| vicious Stabs at the same part OF her
| body. The witness finally seized the
Teal womans hands and was keeping
the knife away from her when Clyde
whipped out a razor, and with the re-
mark: Anything you start Emma,
| I'm in with" she commenced slashing
away at Pauline's face. Pauline man
| aged to partly protect herself with her
| arms on which most of the blows fell,
but as she grew weak from loss OF
blood, Clyde managed TO reach her face
with the razor and inflicted several
long and ugly gashes. Pauline became
so weak that she fell to the sidewalk,
and her assailants ran off as they heard
the police coming.
| She said that she had been playing
the piano for both Emma and Clyde
that night and drinking with them and
that she supposed they were her
friends. Asked as to the cause of the
cutting she said that she had heard
that il was because she is alleged 10
have said that Emma was living with
another girls male friend. She said
that she never meddled in other peo-
pies affairs, and that she had not
made any such remarks as had beer
l claimed by the defendants.
On c1OSS-eXd she was dShet
If she had ever been convicted Of fel
ony for shooting at her husband il
n Chicago. She Indignantly said that she
had not and in succeeding questions
she showed herself to be fully the equa
] of the attorneys for the defense il
{ shrewdness. Her examination was un
! finished when the examination wa
continued until 10 o'clock to-day.
