STORY
Almost Exonerates Faith
err Charged With Muir
dering His Wife BY
ADMINISTERING POISON

Chicago, Jan. 14.-StrilSing, with a
lawyers skill, at the vital points in
the prosecutions case against Knud o.
Knudson, the accused wife poisoner,
Anna, the prisoners 10-year-old
daughter, did more on the witness
stand today to cripple the states
cause than all the millionaire con-
tractors high priced attorneys or any
of the prominent business and pro-
fessional men they have called to
testify to his good character. AS
calmly as If speaking piece" in her
Sunday school. the child refuted the
charges that her father and mother
never lived happily together, that the
former refused nurse or physician
for his wife in her last illness, or that
he was ever otherwise than the kind
est of husbands and most indulgent
of fathers
Her story concluded, she jumped
from her seat, ran to the grim and
silent defendant, climbed into his lap
and covered his face with kisses un-
til led from the court room by the
weeping women neighbors who had
brought her before the jury to plead
for her fathers life. The states wit
ness received anything but gentle
treatment at the child's hands. Miss
Helen Hesselfeld the 19year-old girl
f,;a Nf
for several months in the Knudson
home, shortly before the contractors
wife died, was the first to receive her
attention. Miss Hesselfeld testified
that Mrs. Knudson repeatedly told
her she was being poisoned, that
Knudson often assured his wife that
he hoped she would die, and that he
refused her medical attention despite
her prayers that a doctor be summon
ed.
'These stories are not true" said
Anna. Papa took Helen into our
house because she wS poor, said she
must kill herself unless some one
helped her and mamma asked him to
let her live with us until she found
work. She often saw papa kiss my
mamma, knows he did everything he
could for her and that she loved him
as much as we children do. Papa want
ed to get doctor, but mamma believ
ed in Christian Science and would not
let him"
Then the child attacked the testi-
mony of Mrs. Elma Wieser, Mrs. Knud-
sons stepsister, and one Of the star
for the prosecution.
Aunt Elma never liked my papa or
she said, because we had
more money than she, a nicer house,
and us children wore better clothes

than hers. Once Aunt Elma wrote a
letter to my mamma that made her
cry and papa took her In his lap. and
said Never mind, we can get along
without her; she's just jealous because
she wants as much money as we've
got"
"Once she said to papa: If you
don't get a doctor for my sister I will
"But she knew mamma wouldn't let
him. When she got very sick he had
a doctor anyway, but she died"
Gustav and Wilford, younger chill
dren of Knudson, told stories corrobo-
rating that of their sister. Knudson
will take the stand in his own behalf
tomorrow.

Evening.
'Way Down East" the play that
never wanes in popularity, was the at
traction at the Grand last evening.
Although it has been played number
of times in this city the house WAS
packed and the audience was a very
appreciative one. Rose Curry as Anna
Moore, the young girl who has, been
deceived by mock marriage and has
come to the house of Squire Bartlett
for shelter, has the sympathy of the
audience at all times. Daniel Roach
as Hi Holler, the chore boy, was a
great favorite with the audience and
plays the part in clever manner, pro-
ducing much laughter by his funny
sayings and actions. All parts were
we'll acted. The company is good
one and was well deserving of the
large and appreclative audience.
