Faragher. When we got back, we
asked il they had heard. any noise
over at Krause's, and they said they
had not. We spoke Of going to the
Krause house, and Mrs. Krause
again told the deputy sheriff the
Same as she had told me-about
Krause having q gun. We finally
concluded we didn t, have nerve
enough to 60 over there in the night
and We stayed at Holbrook's until
morning. During the night Farra-
CHER. and I wore out in the yard sew

Told her We would want to, 60 in
quicker than any key would let ~,
when the time came. She then
went back to Holbrooks taking
some clothes and milk pail. When
she was at the home, ! asked her
about the hole in the ceiling. She
looked up at it, but don't remember
what she said about it. This was
before we found the body. Couldn't
say whether I was present when de-
fendant was informed that her hus-
band was found dead. Saw her sew
eral times during the day. She
cried but very little ut first and
didn t make much fuss at any time.
Didn It notice much difference that
day with her than the day before.
She didn seem to be much excited.
During the night previous while we
were watching Mrs. Krause asked
if any OF us were Woodmen. Told
her I was. She spoke. about the
raise in rate, and said that was what
started her quarrel with her hus-
band-he was a Woodman. She
wondered whether it would pay to
keep up his insurance if they took
him to the insane asylum. She
spoke about writing, some letters to
a son at Muscatine,. about the mat
ter, at Krause's request. (Krause
belonged to the lodge at Muscatine
and the SOD paid the assessments
from money sent by Krause.) These
letters were given to the coroner's 3 |
jury at the inquest. (Here the gun
was offered in evidence and receiv-
ed without objection.) (The letters
spoken of were shnwn the witness
aud identified, and marked as ex-
hibits; also the key taken from be-
hind the door. Key received in ev-
idence without objection.
Cross examination. testified to
This matter at the inquest. Then
testified that Holbrook called me
about 12 O'Clock. Had good deal
ST conversation at the Holbrook
house that night. Mrs Holbrook
told me that Mrs. Krause came over
and wanted Mr:sHol brook to go after
the marshal, Krause was crazy. Dur
.ng conversation with Mrs: Krause
that night told her that she ought
10 have sent Krause to the asylum
the summer before. In the. morn
ng I found the lock at Krause's
Just as Mrs. Krause said iit was.
Think Mrs. Krause spoke something
about me unlocking the stair door
70 that Kruse could come down and
10 the chores. When We went up
stairs, Mrs. Krause went upstairs !
