The Portland daily press., 1898-01-14

the next day after the grave robbery.
When asked why she had not told of what
Day had told her at the municipal court
hearing she said she would have told it
only that court adjourned at the time she
had reached that part of the story. She
had heard the conversation between Joe
and Day, but had not inter1er d in any
way, or tried to prevent Joe from going
off with Day She said she did not believe
Mr.. Day would do Joe any harm. She had
not stated in former hearing that when
she went to the door Day was SO farsaway
from her that she couldn't hear what he
said to Joe. Shesdidn It know where tie
memorandum she had made OF the date
of October 4th is at present. She was not
sure when she had made this memoran-
dunn. On Tuesday morning she snelled
the smoke of the burning dress when
Joseph had worn. Day was present at
the time the dress was burned. she loohesi
in the stove but the rags which had beeh
burned We're in cinders. The pillow
| shams belonged to the witness and. she
told how she came to get them: lhey
came from p very near and dear friend OF
the witness. who had died in Kezar Falls.
She had neVsr used the shams but had
hung them up on the line with her wash
ing to air She missed them when she
took her clothes in that night. Day had
afterwards brought them TO her just be-
fore he was arrested. Witness had seen
these shams at Westbreok, but had not
recognized them as hers at that time. The
edging had been torn of these shams and
she discovered the rags of the edging on
the ground at her home in Westbrook on
Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Lyons quoted from a report of the
hearing at Westbrook where witness had
said Day and Joseph had talked in
whispers and she hadn't heard what they
said. Witness said she had heard what
they did talk about on that Monday
night. She had not talked with any
officer about this confession of Day. He
had made 1t in her sitting room in West
brook. He gave her the pillow shams on
October 9th. She had not talked with
City Marshal knights about this case.
She gave the pillow shams to an officer
in Portland but did not then state that
they had belonged to her. When she came
to wash them she thought they were hers
but didn't recognize them because the
rilffle around them had been torn off.
At eight O'Clock that Monday night it
was dark, but later i5 was light when the
moon arose. By the light of the moon she
saw Joseph coming home staggering. She
didn't notice whether he had the dress on
then or not. She saw him when he came
into the house, but he then didn't have
the dress OH. He didn't have the shovel
or axe with him that she could see. She
asked him where he had been and he said
Hdon't say word Mother When Joseph
went off with Day it was just as they
were going to bed, Harry was there when
the whistle came, but he did not go to
the door.
Mr.. Lyons now took up the testimony
Of Mrs. Kimball as given in the West
brook hearing.
What was your object in making
memorandum that night that Joseph
went away with Day3'
81 did it after the body was found be-
cause it seemed SO awful sad.
This ended the cross-examination.
Mr.. Libby then stated that this ended
the evidence for the state. 1t was now
So clock and Mr.. Lyons asked for a
little time before opening for the defense
and COURT was adjourned until ten O'Clock
this morning.
