She told of trips made to Bel
grade during the month of April.

Harris took with her on these
trips. That they had talked of
how they would furnish their
house when they would become
man and wife, of his desire that
no one should learn OF their en-
aagemcnt for awhile, Of giving
HIM some opals which had be-
longed to her mother and which
he had set IN a gold ring and pre-
sented TO her as an engagement
ring.
Some ten or dozen love let.
ters written nearly every day by
Harris to Miss Harden brook while
he was in Dallas, Texas, were
read. In them he told how he
wished she was along and that
he longed for the day wben he
shall return, and admonlshed her
to read her Bible, De a good girl
and be true to the promises made
to him. A visiting card of Harris
was produced. On it was
written, "Dailas, Texas, | shall
expect a letter when | get there.n
That about fifteen minutes az
ter his return from Texas he
went to call upon her aud con.
tiuued his love stories and i'm
proper acts. When she told him
of her condition be agreed TO
give her 800 to go to Butte or
Helena. The money was handed
her on one Sunday evening in
December and when opened was
found to contain only $50. She
went over to Phillipsburg the
latter part of December to visit
an aunt and while there met
with an accident which she
thought made it unnecessary TO
go to Helena. She returned to
Bozeman and after awhile found
she had been mistaken and she
then sent for Harris, but he
would not come and from that
time deserted her. Of the 500
provided for other expenses she
returned to Harris $15.
The girls story was not bro.
ken down by the defense in any
particular.
Mrs. Beall was the next wit
ness called. She testified that
she had seen the Rev. Barr Har-
ris call at Miss Har lenbrook's
house the first time, that he ask
ed her where the girl lived, and
that afterwards he was around
there all the time during the
summer, especially while the
children were away at school
n. L. Evans testified that Miss
Hardenbrook stayed at his place
twice, once while suffering with
a sprained ankle and once when
sick. Harris had made frequent
calls and acted in very affection
ate manner towards Miss Harden
brook.
Mrs. n. =. Evans corroborated
MIR. Evans, and said that Harris
has as good as told her he and
Miss Abbie were engaged. She
told of drives to middle Creek
canyon and how Harris treated
Miss Ahbie as though she was bis
intended vile.
Miss Lynda Hardenbrook, sis
ter of Miss Abble, told of Harris
frequent visits and of his demea-
nor towards her sister, etc.
This closed the case of the
prosecution.
Mrs. O.. w. Marshall was the
first witness called for the de.
fense, but her testimony was not
very important, being mainly
with reference to the chastity Of
Miss uardenbrook. Fred Jacobs
and John Bartholomew were also
examined on behalf Of Harris.
Harris took the stand in his
own behalf and denied each and
every allegation made by the
prosecution. He produced about
ii dozen letters written to him by
I L 1

on a freight train.

them was Miss Abbie. The play
was to be given at Belgrade. He
visited her home very often on
account of the play. He had
never kissed, c&rressed or TOOK
any liberties with her. Never
gave her any money to go away
and stated he had learned she
was engaged to young man
named Ogle, and had never been
engaged to himself. He had the
ring mentioned in Miss Abbie's
testimony made, the charge being
$6, that Miss Abbie only had
four dollars and he told her to
let the other 50 go, as she had
been doing some extra work for
the church. That She had been
converted to the church and he
had taken great interest in her.
He admitted taking her to Bel
grade alone, and also in company
with others, but denied any liber-
ties were taken with her. He
was never engaged to her or made
her an offer of marriage. He
produced several letters one of
which testified as to his gentle
manly character and actions, this
letter having been used in the
church trial when Harris was be-
ing tried for undue intimacy with
Miss Shultz.
Mrs. F. q. Davidson and Miss
Davidson were called and testi
fled to Harris good character, etc.
They corroborated his statement
about going TO Belgrade early in
the morning of A pril 10th.
Rev. S. V. Tabor testified that
Harris had arrived at Belgrade
on freight on the evening Of
April 10th and not in the morn
ing. He produced his diary in
support of his testimony.
Guy Noe testified that he had
been unduly intimate with Miss
Abbie about two years ago.
Floyd Mitchell was called for
the purpose of giving the same
kind of testimony, but refused to
answer, saying he was afraid of
discriminating himself. Judge
Stewart told him that was all
they wanted of him and that he
had better get out of the court
house as fast as he could-and he
did.
There were several other wit
nesses who testified to Harris
highly moral character and gen
tlemanly conduct.
Miss Hardenbrook was placed
on the stand to reply to the
statement that she had been en-
gagged to Ogle, and stated that
she had not been.
Harris also tried TO prove by
b. f. Maiden and n. L. Evans
that he had been threatened with
punishment, if he did not marry
the girl, but both gentlemen
stated that they had only urged
quiet marriage as the best way
out Of the trouble.
The argument in the case last
ed from Saturday at $50 until
about Alb o'clock. County A.
tOrney G. D. Pease ard Walter
5. Hartman both made a splendid
argument for the. prosecution, go
ing into the details of the case
very thoroughly, and with a
great display of eloquence ap-
pealed to the jury to consider
the facts and the law with I'M
partiality.
For the defense John A. Luce
and j. l.. Stats were equally
eloquent and while they had the
odds against them proved that
they were orators OF no mean
ability.
