Would Have Her Suffer.
@. Have you told everything that
occurred in the room upstairs? If not
do so?
A. asked him once "Why did you
kill the girl" and he said you read
those letters in the pocket book and
you will see." l heard him state once
II wish hadn't killed her so soon;
I wish she had to suffer for about
week as have suffered for about
seven months" That the defendant
went to sleep about IL o'clock and
slept soundly until he was awakened
about 1 a. m.
Had Complained.
Gundar Bisrud for whom the defen-
dant worked in the fall of 1906, testi-
fled that defendant complained of lack
of sleep and severe headaches during
the time he was working for him.
Many People There.
Gilbert Hagan, a states witness,
testified that on the trip from Fairdale
to Adams the defendant spoke twice
and asked, where are we." Cross
examination showed that the night
was dark and others in the sleigh
were, at times, at loss to know on
what part of the road they were and
often asked the question between
themselves similar to the one asked
by the defendant. That on reaching
Adams there were some twenty people
in the Office of the livery barn where
the defendant was placed. That de-
PENDANT was taking off his overshoes,
when he suddenly raised his head and
asked, What does this mean, what
are all these people doing in here"
Wouldn't Need Clothes.
Arnie Weberg, a brother of defen-
dant's father testified that in the sum-
mer of 1906, Otto Weberg came to him
and offered to give him the clothes that
he had in satchel, the inference being
sought to be raised by the defendant
that those were the only clothes of
which he was possessed except those
he wore. In reply to question as to
why he wished to give them to the
witness he said, II don't need them
any more"
Peculiar Attitude.
Mr.. Sinkler endeavOred to get re-
cess at this time, but the court forced
him to proceed with his evidence and
Otto Weberg, the defendant, was called
and sworn. He sat with his head on
his hand in the attitude that he has
assumed during the entire trial and
answered the the questions put to him
in quiet manner, llesitating before
giving each and every answer, as
though weighing carefully the full
meaning of his words before uttering
them. When asked, do you love Anna
Engalsrud," his voice shook with ap-
parent sorrow and regret when he
answered, II do, and always will"
Loved the Letters.
@. What did you do with the letters
that you received from Anna Engals-
rud? kept them always with me in
a note book that l carried on the in
side pocket of my vest"
@. Where did you place these let
tiers at night when you would go to
bed?
A. In under my head under the
pillow.
@. Why did you do that?
A. Because l loved them"
@. Are these the only things that
you ever got from her?
A. Yes, sir.
@. Did you ever have any i'll will or
ill-feeling for the deceased?
A. No, sir.

Would Meet in Heaven.
At the time that he left Fairdale in
the summer of 1906, that he took the
train for Kenmare; arrived there and
went to his room in the hotel about
9o'clock; took out the letters and read
them. Suddenly reason left him and
'"I thought saw an angel in the
room;" I thought it looked like Anna
Engalsrud and she told me, lotto,
don't feel so bad; j will see you in
heaven" That is all remember Of
doing that night: woke up sometime
during the night and found myself ly-
ing on the floor and I got up and lit
the lamp, was lying on the floor with
strap around my neck and I got up
and lit the lamp and found these let
tiers on the table and l put them in
my pocket and went to bed and went to
