/ him 10 was sunday and tina, he should
go home; but he persisted in chasing
piss, and finally one was caught and
killed. he friend then again urged him
to go home. but he insisted on con-
tinuing to chase pigs, which was done
| but without success; and although the
/ friend persisted in his endeaNors to get
him home, still he refused and kept go
ing and going ahead This continued
until the sun was below the horizon;
he was then complaining of pains in
his head, and so his friend suggested
that as they were so far away from
home, they should stay where they
were all night They had been going
farther and farther from home an the
time They stayed in the woods all
that night; and finally, on the next
day, his friend got him home indeed
he was not I'm the habit of making any
trouble with his family, but got along
all right with them.
Finally, his first wife sickened and
died; and then he got along as best
he could until he procured employment
with a local merchant, where he re-
MANNED for some or Z years For
very many years past, the subject of
this question has been addicted to tie
steady drinking of intoxicating liquors
This use of intoxicating liquors became
habitual to him, and ne finally during
the years 1901, 1902 and 1903 became an
habitual drunEard. At times, he would
be in a condition of furious intoxica-
ton; al other times he would get into
a condition of drunken frenzy; and at
all times, he yielded to his love for
liquor During his employment with
the local merchant to whom l have
referred, he was heavy drinker; and
although his fellow employees could
smell the liquor from him, yet, during
business hours, he never got drunk
enough to prevent his work While
employed here, he showed an odd man
ner; he was cranky at times; he was
generally peculiar, and different from
the other men employed there; when
given an order he would tell the per-
son giving him the order to go to hell,
and when told that the manager or
his department had directed the thing
to be done, he would say that the man.
ager could go to hell, and he refused
to obev his orders, and he would mum
BILE to himself, and then he would DO
what was asked and in all this, 1t
made no difference what the orders
were or who gave them. During this
period, the pains in his head continued
he often complained of them to his
employer, who would sometimes let
him off from work, although he some
times stayed away of his own accord
and in the evenings when these pains
required he would go to the home OF
a relative where his son was living to
have his son lomi his head, and he
tried to relieve these pains by inhaling
the odor of witchhazel At times he
would go for as long as a month with
out suffering from these pains, and
then would recur While he was not
discharged from this place of employ
ment. Sun his departure therefrCm was
occasioned by his habits of drinking.
While he was with this business
house. he married again, on or about
March 18th, 1899. He was very much
in love with his second wife, enamored
of her Infatuated with her; and he
frequently gave expression to the
depth of the affection which he enter
tanned for her; and the strength and
power of his love for the woman clear
ly appears in all his utterances. For
a time he and his second wife seemed
to get on without any apparent or
visible trouble; but about two years
after the marriage he commenced to
complain about her conduct; he
thought she was acting disagreeably
thar wnen he got home from a hard
days work she would go out, and that
when he spoke to her about it, she told
him to shut up, and mind his own
business. From this time on, she was
constantly in his thoughts; and the
fact of her going out so worried him
that he would get release from his
employment and go home, only to find
that she was out again; and he an
rounced to a relative that in a certain
dream that he had he was startled
about the whereabouts of a certain
ring of hers, and that ne asked her
about the ring and that she did not
know what had become of it; and this
preyed upon him. Notwithstanding
that he loved her very deeply and very
dearly, his mind became filled with
suspicious against her personal purity;
but his suspicious were wholly without
foundation.
His causeless suspicious grew and
developed until he became fully do
minated by them; and against the fact
and in irrational opposition to the fact,
he firmly believed that his wife was
unfaithful and untrue to him. The be-
lief that she was untrue to him SEEM
ed to fill his mind to the exclusion of
other things; he constantly brooded
over this belief; he became downheart-
ed and dispirited, declined to talk, ate
very little indeed, worried constantly,
and drank heavily. He gave express
sion to his unfounded belief by ac-
cusing his innocent wife of criminal
intercourse with other men; the state
OF things between them became intoler-
able; and one of the results of this
condition of things was that he was
arrested on the charge of assault and
battery upon her and upon her mother
who interferred in their difficulty and
he was convicted of the charge upon
the mother-in-law, from which con-
viction, he took an appeal On the oc-
casiOn of this assault and battery, the
subject of this question was in a state
of furious intoXication, and in the
course of the occurrence said in sub
stance that he believed they would put
him in Jail for his actions, but that
even if they put him in Jail for three
years, still he had Indian blood in him
and would be revenged and would kill
all three of them. AS already said he
was arrested, but he did not go to
