 Back of the story of the assault on ] Foster is the tale of an unhappy mar ricd life. Several years ago, Mrs C. Bishop. then young girl, was a happy student at Stanford University. After graduating, she met and married C. ! Bishop, Californian. According to | the story told on the witness stand, at 1 Ash Fork, her venture into matrimony was a failure from the first. Owing to the treatment she received at the hands of her husband, her love soon turned | to fear.
 The couple came to Jerome some six weeks ago, where, it is alleged bv the to work, but by intimidation and co- crcion, forced her to become n singer | in saloon to earn their daily bread. While engaged in this occupation, which. she states, fear of her husband forced her into, she was met and rec. ognizcd by two former Stanford class. mates. one of whom was Foster, who, surprised at the occupation they found her engaged in, and knowing well her high connections in California, in. quircd of her the cause. According 10 the statement of the two men, suhstan. tiatcd by two others who were present in the saloon at the time of the meet. ing, the woman told n pitiful story of beatings and abuse, which she said had been her only lot since marrying Bishop.
 She told them how Bishop had re- fused to work from the date of their marriage, and had mistrcated her, md forced her to earn the living for them both by singing in saloons and con. cert halls. She claimed to be in mor. tal fear of the man and expressed q heartfelt desire to leave him, but told her former school companions that in. asmuch as Bishop took all the money she earned she could not get funds sufficient to purchase ticket to Cali. fornia, where she has relatives and friends.
 Touched by the story she told, Foster and his three friends made up purse sufficient to carry her to California, which, after much persuasion, she ne. cepfcd, and as Foster was going to Ash Fork by the morning train, it was sug. gested that he accompany Mrs. Bishop as far as that place to see her safely on her way. The husband, Bishop, in the meantime, having learned in some manner that his wife proposed leaving him, reached the conclusion that she in. tended eloping with Foster, and conse. quently boarded the morning train. with the avowed intention of intercept. ing, as he supposed the runaway couple. He saw his wife and Foster on the train en route to Ash Fork, but, according to a half dozen witnesses, made no demonstration whatever against them then.
 Arriving at Ash Fork, all parties con. ecrned left the train, Foster accompany. ing Mrs. Bishop to hotel, where he saw her safely ensconced, after which be returned 10 the Pullman ear on the \. F, P. F. train, where he later fell asleep. lt was here that the assault occurred.
