Redirect: My husband had said
before this that if his head didn't
get cured he would kill himself
that he would 90 crazy. This was
week or so before-don't know ex-
actly. 1t was in December when it
was cold. Wasn't afraid when he
didn't have these spells. In Feb.
1908, Mr.. Krause's head was aching
rribly--he wanted me to call the
doctor-Dr. Sullivan-I asked the
doctor to give him somethineso he
wouldn't wake up. Meant some
thing that would make him sleep.
lie suffered terribly. Never asked
the doctor to kill him. Told the doc
tor about his terrible sufferings and
wanted to know what to DO. He
told me to geta divorce.
Characterization: This talk with
DR.. Sullivan was down stairs,
(Again told story Of asking DR.. Sull-
ivan for something to make her hus-

could sleep all night.

Reside at Minneapolis, Mimi, was
baggageman on train running
through Adrian at 1905 on the
night of Jan. 9Th. Was on that
train on the night of Jan. 9th at my
regular business. The train was on
time that night. Heard shot just
as we left Adrian. The shot which
| heard was in the direction of the
Krause house.
Cross Saw no one
standing'in the road between me
and the Krause house. Didn't look.
NY attention was first called to this
matter couple Of weeks after the
event. The reason I remember the
shot and night was because the next
trip I made I heard Of the event and
then recalled that had heard the
shot that night. It was on my next
trip I heard of the tragedy. Heard
of it at Sioux Falls. Saw no flash of
a gun. No one was in tue car with
me when heard the shot. It is not
posi- bic that am mistaken about the
date-the books show ia record Of
every employee-cars and engine.
Recess for Sunday.
Monday afternoon, two o'clock:
DR.. Huff, of Sibley, called for de-
tense: Live at Sibley-am duly
licensed physiclan-graduate OF
Michigan college of medicine and
surgery. Was with Dr.. Walker
when we disinterred the. body of
Aug. Krause at Adrian. Next saw
the body at office OF DR.. Walker and
assisted in examining the body. We
examined the wound of entrance
back Of the ear. The scalp wound
was probably about two inches long
and an inch wide. There we're two
wounds of exit. The wound of en-
trance in the skull was circular and
three quarters of an inch in diam
eter. We next sawed piece of the
skull and removed large piece of
the top. We found the upper right
side Of the brain from back of the
ear badly injured. The vital parts
at the base OF the brain were entire
" uninjured. The covering of the
small brain or cerebellum was in
tact, except for a small break on the
right side Witness took skull and
gave full explanation to the jury
His testimony was If same charac-
ter as DR.. Walker's.) There was on
ly one shot fired into the head, the
charge dividing on the hard hone
encountered at the point of entrance
making two wounds OF exit. We
found some shot within the skull
between the two exits
Crosy-examination: There was
no part OF the skull about the wound
of entrance missing when made the
examination. Witness took skull
OF Krause and explained the
wounds.) In my opinion the upper
wound Of exit contained more of
the shot. There couldn't have been
two shots tired into the skull with
results as shown. My opinion is
that force sufficient to lnjure the
brain as I have described would not
