and then he came out and spoke for I
moment to me and then went off On,
day we were talking as to what he wa!
going to do. I said 1t was either 8
case of marrying or else go into court
Then Maxim said II 1t went into court
he would blacken her character pretty
bad before it was over"
Witness then went on to tell Of the
interview with her husband, before mar
rated, and of informing him of the out
rage upon Dora, and then continued to
give her version Of the several conversa-
tions with Maxim.
Upon cross-examination Mrs. Green
at once became involved when asked by
Mr.. Rush as to why she so determinedly
remembered that it was on January 5th
that Dora went to the park. She didn't
have any knowledge of what befel Dora
on that day until the Goth, and therefore
no reason existed at that time why that
day should have been definitely fixed in
her mind as Tuesday, January 5tk.
Witness said she was positive that it
was the first Tuesday after New Year,
and rested content with the woman's
reason that she knew it because she
knew it.
Continuing, Mrs. Green stated that
when Dora came home at s o'clock her
father was in bed asleep. She knew he
was asleep because she put her head iu
the bedroom and called him and he did
not answer. Dora did not go into her
fathers room, nor did he come from his
room and have any conversation with
his daughter. Witness noticed Dora's
disheveled condition and asked her what
was the matter, and she answered that
she was i'll. Her mother then told her
that If bicycle riding affected her in that
way she had better not go again.

NJ. Luy is an old rancher down at the

An acrimonious dispute ensued, and
finally Luy had Fletcher arrested on the

The matter came up before Justice

that old man Luy was in his cups at the

him by Fletcher had existed only in his

The morning after he had wronged
Dora he confessed to her sister, Mrs
Vannieuwenhuyser; then when the
mother was informed of what had trans
pired he confessed his wrong doing tc
her. When Mr.. Green learned of his
youngest daughters shameful wrong
and charged Maxim with it, the latter
acknowledged 1t all, and put on to the
fathers broad assertion of wrong the
trimmings of circumst antial detail. AS
for the girl herself, Maxim saw her, 81
she said, almost every day, and was
continually pouring metaphorical ashes
upon his own head and promising tc
make amends, when he was not telling
her that 'the charge made against him
was a pus-up job and that she waa
too - black for him, anyway"
Rivaling the peculiar idiosyncrasy of
the defendant in curious interest has
been the marvelously bad memories of
the Green family. This odd character
istic is evidently a hereditary acquire
ment. The eldest daughter was th1
least affected in this way, but in the
cases of Mr. and Mrs. Green and their
daughter Dora, they contradicted one
anotho" with great equanimity, and
when not doing that they contradicted
hemselves-that is, the evidence which
each previously gave at the preliminary
examination.
Mrs. Addie D. Green, mother of the
prosecutrix, was the most important
witness put forward yesterday She is
quits a handsome little woman. ana
gave her age as 36 years and said she
had been married for twenty years. For
about three years she had known NAL
kim and regarded him very highly.
She gave detailed statement of her
two daughters going to the East Side
park on January 5th, and said that Dora
returned about o'clock in the evening.
She came home excited and dazed and
very much worried. She ate supper with
witness and then went to bed. She
wouldn't answer questions correctly and
seemed bewildered
"On January 2Oth," continued Mrs.
Green. Dora told me that Maxim had
drugged and outraged her. That he had
given, her a glass of wine instead OF
water. That she got dizzy and then
unconscious, and when she recovered
she found herself lying on a bed, and
knew she had been taken ADVANTAGE of
She said she got up and put on her hat
and went over to her sisters and told
her all about it. Birdie told he1. not to
say anything about 1t to me. and she
would see Maxim"
Witness went OH to state the various
details, as alleged heretofore by Dora
and her sister, regarding the negotia-
tions with Maxim to marry Dora.
Il saw Maxim on the 21st" said the
witness, resuning her story. "snd he ac
knowledged having drugged and out
ragged Dora, and that he intended 10
marry her. He asked me not to tell my
husband, as it would make hard feel
ings in the family. / said l wouldn't.
and from then on one day he would say
he would marry the girl, and the next
he would refuse. One day listened at
the door while Maxim talked to Dora
and heard him offer her $10O and ther
s150, if that would do to fix the matter
up. She said no to everything he said.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
The Anti-Eusion Law

Among the labor bills passed by the
Illinois legislature and signed by the
governor was one to prevent the fusion
of political parties. 1t prohibits putting
on a ballot more than once the name of
any candidate or putting it under more
than one party designation. This must
have been partisan measure and seems
to be Objectionable on the ground OF
fair play, for while great many polit-
cal jobs are consummated in the name
of fusion. the members of any party
seem to have a sort Of natural right to
indorse the candidate of some other
party If they choose to do so, and the
Australian ballot should not be made a
partisan engine.-Oakland Enquirer.
