no prejudices. He was trying to tell
the truth as far as he knew It. His
story had q distinct effect upon all In
court and injured my cause.
The next witness was Miss Martha
Temple. In taking the oath she kissed
the holy book three times and then
made the sign of the cross upon her
bosom. There were four Catholics In
the jury box. and / felt certain that
this was done for effect upon them.
How any cIe can resort to trickery Of
such nature when fellow being has
his life in the balance Is beyond my
comprehension. Yet tbs not uncommon.
Being sworn. she testified as follows:
II had known the deceased about q
year; met the prisoner about two
months ago at the lake. Yes; know
that the two men had Quarreled. l
think that they Quarreled about me-"
My lawyer interrupted to object to her
giving her opinions. Before the judge
could speak she snapped back fiercely:
"Weli. I know 1t. then. How do
know It? The deceased told me So"
Objection by my lawyer. "well. then,
the prisoner told me- That is hearsay
also? Then suppose l tell you that
they Quarreled once before me and
about me? VIII tell you about that?
Yes; I will tell you about ii In the
cause Of justice, though 1t is my pri-
vate affair"
The Judge admonished her to adhere
to the facts without irrelevant remarks
rs to justice and the like. She looked
at him contemptuously and went on:
"From the first night when met the
prisoner he persistently annoyed me
with his attentions. He would follow
me IL I went or on a long walk any
where and come and sit by me II took

q chair on the piazza. He would insist
upon dancing with me when we had
music at the hotel and was forever pes
tering me with invitations to go out In
his boat. Thank heaven, | never did
that or might not be alive to tell the
tale"
Once more the judge reprimanded
the witness. She continued:
'1The quarrel which occurred In my
presence was on the 1st of September.
How do l remember it? Because ON
that morning the prisoner asked me to
be his wife, which promptly refused"
This caused sensation in the court.
"In the afternoon l went out to walk
with Mr.. Norton. We sat on bench.

accepted him."
This caused greater sensation than
the first announcement. While there
had been rumors that and the dead

nothing definite had been known be-
fore the lady told 1t upon the stand.
She continued:
'The prisoner came by and began TO
abuse Mr.. Norton, calling him the most
outrageous names. I think they would
have fought had not been there. Mr..
Norton finally gave me his arm and led
me away"
This ended the direct examination,
and my lawyer took up the witness.
Her testimony In brief was as follows:
1.-THE men Quarreled about me. The
prisoner pretended to quarrel about
the dog, but any one could see that he
was angry because I had refused him
and accepted Mr.. Norton"
1t was evident that nothing to my
advantage could be extracted from this
witness. so my lawyer let her leave the
stand. In spite Of the fact, apparent
to all. that this woman was prejudiced
against me and hoped to see me hanged
for the death Of the man whom she
had loved. her testimony was bound to
tell against me because 1t explained
more fully the cause Of III feeling be-
tween myself and Norton. 1t supplied
motive for the supposed murder.
The next evidence was cumulative.
A waiter ut the hotel swore that he had
heard me quarrel with Norton, charg-
ing him with having kicked my dog
Psyche. He claimed that Norton jeer-
ed at me, saying that he would kick
the brute whenever she came In his
way. Then he said that he heard me
reply. IF you hurt my dog again. you
do 1t at the peril Of your life" Cross
examination did not shake this evi-
dence.
A boy swore that he had been fishing
on the end Of the hotel dock until 10
o'clock on the night OF the 18th and
that my boat was afioat there, tied by
q rope. He distinctly remembered that
all four oars were In the boat They
were In the boat and not In the oar

The next witness was the hallhoy Of
