! and nld "Now lnt us ch1s. pigs" The
/ person who was searching for him told
| him 10 was sunday ANA tina; he should
gu home. but he persisted In chasing
! pigs, and finally one was caught and
I'u. na friend then 1gaiu 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 I'm his cudeaVors to get
| him home, SIN he refused and kept go
ing ana going ahead This continued
until the sun was below The horizon;
hc was then complaining of pains in
his head, and so his friend suggested
/ That as they We're so far away from
home they should stay where they
/ were all night They had been going
I farther and farther from home all 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
I 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 local merchant, where he re-
manned for some or years For
very many years past, the subject of
this question has been addicted to the
steady drinking of Intoxicating liquors
This use of intoxicating liquors became
habitual to him, ana he finally during
the years 1901, 1902 and 1908 became an
habitual drunkard. At times, he would
be in a condition Of furious intoXica-
ton; at 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 a heavy drinlIer; 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 obey his orders, and he would num-
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 TINS
period, the pains in his head continued
he often complained of them to MS
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 month with
out suffering from these pains, ana
then would recur. While he was not
discharged from this place of employ
ment. stIl his departure therefrCm was
occasioned by his habits of drinking.
While he was with this business
house, he married again, on or about
March 17th 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
" 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
that wnen he got home from 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
nounced to 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 filed 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 motherin-law, from which con-
Viction, he took an appeal On the &C.
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
Jail
