Witness here gave, as near as she
could remember, what she did the
,dav before Krause's death-a recital
of q number of common place Incl
aants. Told about Krause hanging
out cIornes line for her-told about
writing letter for her husband.l
Recess Ii minutes.
Estates attorney Smith read part
of the German letter wrote by Mrs.
Krause, and asked what she meant
by it, Mrs. Krause took letter and
read it all. It was in relation to
having her son come to Adrian and
about sending money there for
Krause's assessments. The letters
were written Wednesday afternoQn.)
We had supper Wednesday eve
ming about 80 or 100 o'clock. Am
54-my husband was 40 or 5O-he
didn't know himself. MIXED at 500
O'Clock that evening--we always
MIXED about that time-my hus-
band was at the barn too. We went
to the house and put some coal in
the stove-we sat there. Witness
shown letter that she wrote to her
son. Didn't testify at coroners in
quest that had destroyed the letter
said my husband had-thought
he had, as he said he would. My
husband and l didn't have much

own way.
We went to bed together-dcn't
think he went to sleep. He grum-
bled about the letter. witness again
told OF happenings after they went
to bed.) The reason I was afraid to
stay with him that night was that
he seemed worse-called me names,
he never had before. Ran down
stars as fast as could and shut the
stair door and locked it. He follow
ed down. again told of Krause
saying he, would wiring her head off,
etc., Was afraid of him. Then ran
to Hulbrook's. Krause didn' t pound
or kick on the stair door-he only
turned the knob.
Since he was hurt he had not been
able to earn or do anyth1ng-a good
deal of the time he had to be waited
on. Went hunting with him few
times last fall. Since he was hurt
it was the first fall he was able to
walk without cane. After he was
at Davenport he was considerable
better-but when cold weather
came on he got worse again. The
last time, l think, that ! called a
doctor for him was in February.
The reason no doctor was called af-
terward was that he couldn't help
his head-the doctor had spoken Of
his being sent to an asylurn-but it
never got to it.
Took my money over to Hol-
brooks because didn't want to leave
it where 90 many men were. When

maybe he had shot the h0|e through
there to scare the marshal Aug.
Niebert was at the house Wednes-
day for a couple of minutes. If I
stated differently at the coroner's
inquest, forgot it-how could ! be
blamed for forgetting with all those
men round-was excited. Witness
here broke down and cried bitterly
aud recess of court was taken.
Witness broke down a number of
times on the stand.)
