The council received communica-

Girl Is Less Reticerlt at
Second Trial Of Her
Companion.

OAKLAND, June 6.-Ethel Cook, The
young girl who eloped with Henry A.
Logan, trustee OF the church, of which
she was a member. unfolded today be-
fore a jury in Superior Judge Harris
court the story of the flight. This is
the second trial OF Logan, who is
charged with enticing away a minor
child.
She said that while they were in a
restaurant at Medford, Or n policeman
came in and showed Logan his photo
graph in a San Francisco paper and
said that he guessed he was the man
they were looking for. The policeman,
she said. let them finish their meal and
waited outside for them, and IL was
then that Logan turned out a couple of
teaspoonfuIs of laudanum and told her
TO take IL. and proposed taking the same
himself. She took the poison, but 1t
only served to make her i'll.
Another point not brought out at the
former trial of the case was the state
ment made by the witness in regard to
Logans knowledge of the offense he
was about to commit. In protesting his
love for her Logan said to her: DO you
know that / am committing an offense
for which I can be sent to prison for
twenty years? This shows how much
love you and what chance l am TAX
ing for YOU" Ii is the theory of the
prosecution that Logan had evidently
looked up the law in regard to the mat
ter and knew just the crime that could
be charged against him.
