Beall says he heard his wife was living with A.J. Beecher "at' Chinik. He went to 6'hinik, arriving there in the early evening of October F. He saw his wife and asked her if she was going to continue to live with Beecher. She said: "Yes: it's all otf.' Beall went upstairs to her room, and, he says in his statement: "Whfle She did not make any effort to cut me, did make an effort to cut her.
 Beall knocked at her door upstairs his wife showed him away and said: Don't come up here: it's all of with you." Beecher was standing there at ! the time. Beall asked his wife why it was all off. She said: .'Oh, you know it.has all been a mistake" Beall re- piled: Didn't you know it was a mistake when l was spending money for you in Seattle?" Then, according to his statement, he grabbed her by the neck and slashed her with q razor. She screamed, and Beecher. who was still ! present, "walked to one side. so that he could get good shot, and fired four times.' 1t was the first or second shot that took effect.
 Asked why he went to Council City, Beall said he went there because he heard his wife was living with Beecher; he found on reaching Council that they had gone to Chinik, and he went there to try ''and get her back
 Mrs :. Reall's Statement.
 In the statement made by Mrs. Beall, she says that she and Beall were mar ? ried in Seattle February l. 1901, and chat Btecher did not know she was Bealfs wife. On the-night that Beall slashed- her with his razor, she was playing black jack in the saloon. A man named George called her and told er'thGt ,there was Ia coon at the door, v ] whO'wanted to see her. This made her < bit mad, but presently she wen, up stairs: She Iapped on a wardrobe for Beecher to come up. This was a signal that had been arranged between them, she says. Beall knocked at the door. and,ithinking that it was Beecher, she opened it; he grabbed her and slashed her with. his razor: the razor broke on. her teeth. She screamed and , 5Beecher' camei to. her rescue After Beecher fired the first shot Beall cut her throat and then started to run. The" razor wSs found in Beall's coat pocket, but was afterwards lost, she says. The woman also states that Beall once attempted to throw nitric acid in iier face. This was before she went to Council. In Seattle, she says, Beal war1tef her ito go on the town," but she wouldn't do it. Because she wouldn't caused, she said, all the trouble. She told the police of Seattle, who warned Beall. She closes her statement by saying that the surgeon who dressed her wounds put 49 stitches in her face.
 Beecher and the woman are still in town, and, with the filing of the deposition. of, Beall 'and his wife, the matter win probably rest.
