looking through the WINDOWS ana a
times would get up at midnight an
sweep around and sometimes so out an

all such work. In addition to the NOR

teaspoonful at time. l first saw he

since then she has taken it,
Upon cross-examination the witness

Riverside. Ala, on a trip and they Were
absent from Pueblo for about six weeks
1t was at the latter place that Mrs
Creede had the Authorizations ragardins
the men looking in at the windows. Wit
ness was not at the house in Los Angeles
when Mrs. Creede left 1t, being absent
In Montana, but upon her return she
remained with Mr.. Creede as cook until
his death and for several months after.
THE AMETHYST PARTNERSHIP
/ Mrs. Creede, recalled, gave a lengthy
statement of her life with her husband
from the time of their meeting until the
separation i'll January, 1897. She stated
! that she first met him at Del Norte, Col,
in 1891. She then told him that she had
| found indications of gold in the Indian
! Territory, and thereupon both went out
prospecting, with Sherman Phifer MAX
| ing the third member of the party. 1t
was then agreed that each one should
have one-third of whatever was found
but as it happened nothing was found.
On the next trip Creede said that Lou
Patterson-aS she was then known
and he would share in any proceeds
share and share alike, and upon this un-
derstanding they again started off,
sherman Phifer, the nephew, joining
them later. After prospecting around
they struck the place since known as the
Creede camp, and then, after working
around. Creede gave up in despair. He
packed the burroS and wanted to clear
out. But Lou Patterson was made of
pluckier stuff and begged him to remain
for awhile longer After some demur she
got him to consent to remain just three
days longer, and the woman with her
own hands unpacked the burros. In
those fateful three days the ledge was
struck and the discovery of the Anne
thyst mine became a matter of mining
history.
He made $11O0 a day out of the mine"
said Mrs. Creeda yesterday. AFTER
wards, when we first spoke about divid-
ing up. he said he would give me $4,000.
and when we reached Pueblo he prom
ised to give me house. Some time after
that l made the house over to Sherman
Phifer al Mr. Creedes request Creede
~ co L.
why we could not divide up and he could
let me go. He replied that he would
have halved up before but for fear that
would go away, and that If he did so then
that l would leave. He said that had
promised to marry him, and if wouldn't
do SO that l would have to go to law to
get my share. That conversation was in
April; we were married in May and we
came to Los Angeles in September. At
that time there was NJ property stand
ing In my name, for he said if we were
married no necessity would exist for
putting it in separate names.
POISONING THE DOPE"
Il first commenced using morphine
continued Mrs. Creede, in answer to the
interrogatory of her counsel, "in the fall
of 1876. 1 had got kicked by a COW and
the doctor gave me morphine to ease the
pain, and l kept on taking it. l took it
dry by the mouth and never hypoder-
mically save when the doctor gave it |
to me. I have used fifteen to eighteen |
grains day. fused it just when need |
ed 1t. Never so seldom as four times
day, but can't tell how many times. A
bottle lasted me about two and a half
6DUG 7 cin T =
years old, but never used liquors. In
January of last year 1 took morphine in
tablets and have some of them vet.
Creede was using them, saying that he
could quit it by taking them, and told
him that l didn't like them. He got
vexed, and so took them anyway. He
gave me bottle Of them, but didn't
use them and got some of my own of
the same kind"
why didn't you use them?" inquired
Mr.. Finlayson, curiously.
We'll I thought that as he was in with
that woman they might put something
else in.
Il quit using tablets when I left the
house, for they made my brain feel as
If it was in a compress. l left the house
about January 4, 1897. l took from
twelve to fourteen grains in the tablet
form and sixteen grains sometimes each
day while l was taking them. About
September, 1894, I went to Elsinore and
then to Riverside TO take the Kelley
cure. Creede told me if l could get cured
he would go. l paid my own way and
stopped for about three weeks The
cure ruined my nerves and 1 think ev-
cry one else that takes it. Sometimes |
feel ali right and sometimes strength
seems to go out of my hands. / left be
fore the cure was completed and thought
would go crazy. Since then | have
seemed not to be able to use much NOR
phine and other times l can take all
want. 1 had to keep using it. Some
times m too warm; sometimes nervous
and have the blues and | couldn't tell
all the different symptoms. The least
exertion causes a perspiration, but
guess that's weakness. If | go without
my voice gives out and has on
occasions gone away altogether.

gan counsel, opening up new phase Of

igence office"
