Mrs. Bertha A. Brooks, married sister or
Frank Martin, whose testimony was to the
effect that the married life Of her brother
and his wife had always. been more Or less
unhappy. This she ascribed to jealousy on
the part Of the wife, Mrs. Martin, she said,
was jealous of a great many women and ac-
cused her husband of showing them too much
attention. One Of these was Maud Record,
half-sister Of Frank Martin and deponent,
who lived for a time in the Martin house
hold The deponent had heard her brother
refer to the plaintiff as SISTER The first
time she could remember was when he was
but sixteen years Of age, at which time
plaintiff was Miss Flora Blake. Mrs. Brooks
knew Mrs. Goodnow was in Boston early in
1894, but did not see her at that time.
The dispositions concluded with one by DR..
Smith Baker, a Boston clergyman. He had
known plaintiff twenty-seven years ago, at
which time she was but five six years of
age, and lived in Lowell, Mass, with her
mother. He was then pastor of Lowell
church, and they attended his church: He
testified to the good character of the plaintiff.
The defense then called Detective John P.
Hoy, of the Minneapolis police department,
and the crowd. which had grown somewhat
drowsy during the reading of dispositions,
tentiYe.
Under the questioning Of Attorney Welsh
Mr.. Hoy promptly admitted that he knew
the house 1410 Eighth avenue north, and also
the Rescue home No. 1414. He had been in
both houses last Monday night after dark
about o'clock or perhaps $780, He stood in
No. 1410 and looked through the window
toward the Rescue home. but was unable to
see the windows in that building. Witness
also went to the Rescue home where he
stood on landing halfway up the stairs and
looked through the triple window designated
heretofore in the trial by witnesses for the
plaintiff The front chamber in 1410 was well
lighted, and although he could plainly see
into the room, he could not see the door. He
could not even see the easement of the door.
AT this time there was no curtain or shade OF

even stepped up the stairs, but could not see
any more plainly there. Mr.. Hoy was getting
along sw!mmingly with his testimony when
he interrupted by Attorney Schriber, for
the defense who said: Don't be 50 anxious,
Mr.. Hoy. OF course, we know that you know
what you are to testify to, but don't answer
before the questions are asked" Mr.. Hoy
was then permitted to state that Mr.. Welsh
stood in the middle of the front room at 1910
but from the window of 1414 he could only see
the upper part of his body-no lower than
the second or third button of the vest.
In cross examination Mr.. Hoy stated that
Mr. HUbachek, one of the attorneys for the
defense. was with him at the window in 1414.
He was then asked If Mr.. Hubachek did not
say: Why, you can see through there first
rate. but could not remember. Arthur
White, an employe of Goodnow & Lawther,
who gave testimony for the defense last Tues
day was recalled to the stand to corroborate
the statements of Mr.. Hoy, which he did
without material variation. He accompanied
Hoy and the attorneys on Monday night and
took the same observations as Detective Hoy
The defendant, who also accompanied the
party and manipulated the curtains during
the observations, was called to add further
details Mr.. G6odnow stated that he had let
the spring shade on the window in No. l41O
run up to the top of the window, and had
taken away the sash curtain entirely. Called
upon to describe the sash curtains, Mr.. Good
now said they were of white material fas-
tened on a rod, and he thought in three
pieces. On cross-eXaminatton Mr.. Schriber
! inquired If they were divided longitudinally
or otherwise. and Mr.. GOodnow with puz-
zled look, said: Il don't understand you
Don't understand what longitudinally
means?" inquired Mr.. Schriber in surprise
No, l don't. That must come from ST.
Paul.
Well promptly retorted Mr.. Schriber.
you seem to have more latitude up here
entitled to the longitude"
When the laugh which followed this sally
had subs.ded Mr.. Goodnow explained that the
pieces ran up and down. The curtains. he
said. were the same were On the window
| when he had the room. He then retired, and
the court took an adjournment until this
morning at 10 O'Clock.
