must be strictly private. and TO meet

and went away. I saw him afterwards
at the post0ffice and walked up to the
/ Silver King office. He excused the
/ clerks and told him had come to see
him about my daughter"
witness then went on to state the
conversation between herself and Mr.
! Rearns. She said ne showed her some
| of the Hobbs letters asking for money
and said he did not understand those
letters. Witness said she asked
( kea1nS why he had denied Knowing
! Eula Wray, and he said it was because
! the conversation through the telephone
/ was the first intimation he had that
Euia had a mother. He said he was
! So1nE TO have the thing investigated.
/ particularly as to Hobbs, and witness
told him that was what she wanted,
| what she had come after. Kearns asked
II Hobbs and Eula were married, and
witness said they were not and she
didn want them to be married. She
told him that he had been to the hotel
with Eula and that it was no use him
denying the baby was his, because it
was the very image of him, and he
never denied it," said the witness.
Mrs Kilpack said Kearns wanted
her to have Hobbs arrested for being
! intimate with her daughter in Colorad do
and that he would have him put in
| the penitentiary for living With her
| He said Hobbs had had her daughter
IN bad houses in Salt Lake and in
| Colorado He said Hobbs ought to be
arrested and that he would employ the
pest lawyers in Salt Lake to have him
sent to the penitentiary if witness
! would have him arrested and he said
he would also provide for Eula and
her child. Witness said she cared
nothing about Hobbs, that it was heY
daughters future she was thinking
about. He gave witness SIS and toid
her If she wanted any reasonable
amount of money to come to him for
1t, and to take. her daughter home for
a couple of weeks and by that time he
would have Hobbs "fxed up and that
the d S Of a b. ought to be killed. y
You said something about letters
you had from Hobbs ?'
IT'S nau letters winch he wanted
to use in the Matchmaking case
Did he bring that suit?''
Yes"
Where did you next see Mr.
| Kearns? 2"
I called at the Knutsford and was
shown up to his room, he came out and
inotioned to me to keep silent because
his wife was inside and [ got down the
stairs in double quick time. He came
out into the street and talked with
me. He said Hobbs was 'howling
around and that he would get him
[ into the penitentiary for ten years and
| If he couldn't do that there were other
ways of getting rid of him If Hobbs
| was out of the way he said he would
! support Eula, her child and me and
my family if it were necessary. He got
mad with me about the complaint in
! this suit going to be filed and said he
would give half what he was worth TO
stop it, but told him l had nothing to
| do with 1t. He said it would kin his
! wife and sister if that came out.
| told him that his wife and sister were
/ nothing to me. that it was my poor
! fatherless child was thinking about.
! Sheets and Raleigh came and tried to
! get me to withdraw the suit. If it
wasn't filed in two weeks | learned it
would be outlawed and my daughter
could do nothing that's why Kearns
was anxious for me to wait for two
| weeks and take my daughter home.
/ Sheets and Raleigh told me that it
would be the ruin of my family if that
suit were fled. They said Kearns was
| rich man and could get the lowest
kind of people to come and swear that
