picturesque character whose chief
characteristics are that she usually
wears a bandanna handkerchief knot
ted about her head in regular planta-
ton style, swears f1uently and smokes
either a well seasoned pipe or a long
black cigar. From the statements Of
Aunt Polly and those of her boarders
who were present last evening, it ap-
pears that the Galloway woman did
not live at that place, but was occupy
ing rooms somewhere in the neighbor-
hood in company with Anderson She
had, however, been washing for Aunt
Polly for two days and going home
nights after supper. Early last even

house and finding the Galloway woman
in the kitchen assisting one of the
servants to wash the dishes, he sat
down to wait for her
He appeared to be sober, but in a.
very ugly temper, and in the course
or his conversation used harsh names,
Whereupon the woman said: You
ought not talk to me like that" He
replied. mo. I ought to cut your
throat, and 1 will do it some time. ,"
More angry words on both sides fol-
lowed, and a colored girl known in
the house as Mamie started from the
front room to go to the kitchen, hop
ing to put a stop to the quarrel On
the way she met Anderson going out
and asked him what was the matter.

reached the kitchen Mamie saw the
Galloway woman standing in the mid
ole OF the floor holding her hands to
her side and grooming. When Mamie
asked her If she was. hurt, she said:
On! my God, am stabbed" BY this
time Anderson had succeeded in get
ting out. Of sight, but officer Larson
was called and message sent to no.
lice headquarters at once. While wait
ing for the arrival of the patrol wa
gon to convey her to the city hospital,
the injured woman told the other wo-
man of the house that Anderson had
stabbed her twice with large pocket
knlfe or dirk. She said he first made
a slash at her and thought he was
only trying to scare her, but then he
stabbed straight at her twice The
Knife first entered just below the right
hip, causing only a flesh wound, but
the last thrust caused deep wound
In the right side several inches above
the hip.
TO the other woman, Kittie stated
that Anderson had been quarreling
with her for more than two weeks,
and had frequently threatened to cut
her throat

nearly forty years old, and the woman
about the same age Anderson is not
known to have any regular employs
