SEATTLE DIVORCE CASE,
Mrs. Kinsey Returns to Tell of
Mrs. Dawson's Alleged
Escapades.
Prominent Men Involved by the Tale
of the Accused Wife's Former
Domestic.

SEATTLE, WASH, June 22-George
kinsey and his pretty wife, formerly Lot
tie Evans, arrived in Seattle from Kan sas
City this morning, and this afternoon Mrs.
Kinsey, on the witness stand in Judge
Hume's court, told what she said was the
truth about the wild escapades of Mrs.
DR.. Dawson, both in this State and in
California.
After making their affidavits in the d.
vorce case several months ago the Kinsevs
suddenly left California, and when ex-
Mayor J. T. Ronald, counsel for Mrs. Daw-
son, went to Los Angeles to see them they
could not be found.
The plaintiff also wanted them, but
could not locate them until a week ago,
when it was learned that they had re-
moved to Kansas City. General Carr, who
is at the head of the militia in the State,
and who is counsel for DR.. Dawson, went
after them.
Mrs. Kinsey to-day said that while in
Mrs. Dawson's employ as a domestic she
was used as a tool by the doctors wife,
who sought to hide her own escapades.
Mrs. Kinsey claimed that she assisted
Mrs. Dawson in deceiving her husband,
and said it was not until after the divorce
to DR.. Dawson. She looked after Mrs.
Dawson's correspond ence with other men.
The witness said that in the summer of
1893 the Dawson home in this city was
entered by burglars, and Mrs. Dawson
sent for Charles Esplin, one of the CO.
respondents in the case, to come and stay
at the house in the absence of the doctor.
He was there for one week, and on several
occasions Mrs. Kinsey found Mrs. Dawson
in Esplin's room, which connected with
Mrs. Dawson's.
Once they visited Tacoma. They went
to Chilbergs and engaged room. Mrs.
Dawson went out in the evening and did
not return until the next morning
She said that she had been unable to get
into the room, and had gone to another
room for the night, The witness said
Captain Howell of Tacoma had been with
Mrs. Dawson in the early part of the even
ing.
The witness went into details conc Germ
ing the exciting life which Mrs. Dawson
led while in California and told of many
trips and escapades in which young Ester
brook of Alameda figured very promi-
nently.
