THE PRISONER SWORN.

AL CLOCK thursday AFTERNOON MIS-.
Caroline Collins was put on the stand
in her own defense in the case brought
against her for the murder of George
Leachman. The courtroom was crowd
ed, mainly with women, and Mrs. Col
Inns recital of her life was listened to
with breathless interest. The woman
was tastefully attired in black and gave
her answers in a soft, gentle voice
which was, nevertheless, plainly heard
! throughout the courtroom. Her man
| ner, as usual, was modest but self pos.
sessed. She evinced no boldness and
no timidity. Her face was very pale,
but this rather added to the attractive
ness of her features.
The jury lost the bored look which has
been characteristic of the 12men during
the trial and listened eagerly. Unless
the cross-examination has some effect
upon her the prisoner will be her own
best witness
Mrs. Collins testified that her m alden
name was Carrie Edmunds and that
she was born in Fulton county, N. Y, 80
years ago Memorial day. She came to
Michigan with her parents when four
years of age and lived in Lapeer until 10
years old, when she moved with her par
ents to Oakland county. In 1881, when
she was 16 years old, she was married
to Nicholas Collins and moved to his
farm a mile and half northwest of
New Lothrop village, where she resided
until her arrest.
Several years ago one of her sisters be-
came too poor to keep her family to-
gether because of the death of her hus-
band and Mrs Collins adopted her four
months-old son, Ira Wright. Ira was
member of the family until his death,
one year ago, of typhoid fever
Ira's mother by the way, married
again and has been in court since the
trial began. She believes her sister in
nocent of Ira's murder. James Collins,
brother of the prisoners deceased hus-
band, also believes that his sister-in-law
is innocent of any crime.
Mrs Collins stated that in 1897 her
husband broke his leg while working
on the farm and George Leachman, the
son of neighbor, was hired to do the
work until Mr. Collins recovered. With
in few months Collins died and Leach
man came back to the farm, where he
until his death six years later.
