They went and remained until evening.
While there, they stated MISS WHIT

Mrs. e. A. Gregory, who lives just
south of the Trupp home, and also on
the road leading from town to the
Whitmore residence, said she had seen
Perkins and Miss Whitmore go by the
house several times. The first time was
in May, and later during the summer
she also saw them. She could not
state as to the number of times. but
knew 1t was more than twice. She said
that she did not know Perkins at the
time. but knew it was him from deS-
cription given her later.
Mrs. Walter Ritter, another neighbor
living lust across the road from Mrs.

three times that she remembered of.
She, however, did not know him at the
time, but recognized him by the des-
criptions given her later. Mrs. Rltter
stated that the Sunday before the ira
gedy Mr. Trupp came to her home ana
said that Mrs. Whitmore had sent him.
He said Mrs. Whitmore wanted them
to come to her house, as Fanny was
sick and out Of her head. Mrs. Ritter
said that both she and her husband
went to the Whitmore home and re-
NAMED all night. She stated further
that Fanny acted as tho partially de-
ranged and nervous, and talked but
little. In the evening Mr. Samuel Limp
ley a young man living near Clifford.
and a friend of the Whitmore's, came to
the house. Mrs. Whitmore asked him
If he would take her daughter for a
ride. Mrs. Ritter said the young peo-
ple went for ride, and then went to
church, and returned home, but Mr.
Lippley did not come in the house. She
stated, further, that Fanny then played
for them on the piano and ate lunch
and retired. Mrs. Ritter went on to say
that about ! 80 a. m. Mrs. Whitmore
.awoke Mr. Ritter and asked him to go
for a doctor, as Fanny was worse.
While he was absent the girl seemed to
be troubled greatly. and walked the
floor and passed out of the house sew
eral times. Mrs. Whitnore went after
her each time, bringing her back. While
her mother was absent from the room
Fanny again left the house. Mrs. Ritter
saving she followed her. She found her
in the road, going in the direction of
the river. Mrs. Ritter stated that she
told her to come back, and in reply
Fanny muttered something indistinct-
ly. After returning indoors Mrs. Ritz
ter said the girl continued to walk the
floor, and when being told that she had
done nothing wrong, and that she still
had her friends, she would reply: "Oh,
you don't know; you don't understand"
She seemed to think that she had been
disgraced by keeping company with
this man. DR.. Willitts arrived and gave
the girl some medicine, and talked to
her in her room. She then went to
sleep, and seemed better in the morn
ing, when Mrs. Ritter stated that she
and her husband left.
