JUDGE SINPJ0N....

Mrs. Gallehugh's presence at the hotel
in the capacity of mental, was ex-
planned by the fact that Gallehugh had
bought farm of 100 acres. His income
was not quite sufficient to pay the ex-
penses and his wife had urged him to al
low her to go out and earn some money.
The witness said he had intended to 60
to Chicago the evening of the murder and
went to the hotel to bid his wife farewell.
After he had taken a seat in the corner
his wife came over and told him that she
did not wish to stay at the hotel longer.
Later she told him that Collins had at
tempted an assault upon her in the hotel
laundry: She said Collins had approached
her while she was at work in the laundry,
having closed the door behind him. He
had seized her in his arms and she had
struggled and tried to shout, but Collins
placed one hand over her mouth. The ar
rival Of another employe had prevented
the cook from accomplishing his purpose.
Gallehugh Stirred to Action.

story, Gallehush said, he arose and went
toward Collins. ".

shots while Collins was standing up. He
