Mrs. Cappron a Good Witness.
Mrs. NJ. j. Cappron, the proprietress
Of the Hotel Monroe of Grinnell, Gre
ated a stir in the court room when she
took the stand. She was dressed in
the height of fashion and large dia-
monds hung from her ears. She walked
to the stand in dignified manner and
remained cool and collected during the
entire examination.
Mrs. Cappron told of seeing Dickin-
son at her hotel on July 4. She also
identified the photograph of Miss
Blydenburgh as that of a young wom-
an who came into the hotel about II
O'clock in the morning and used the
telephone.
"What time was it when you saw
Dickinson?' asked Mr.. De Graft.
about o'clock He was eating
supper at the time.''
Gould it have been as late as
,o'clock?"
II don't think So"
This was in direct contradiction OF
Frank SINNERS testimony, who said
he saw Dickinson at MarshalltoWn at
6 o'clock on the same evening.
Mrs. Cappron later testified that the
train from MarshalltoWn reaches Grin
nell at 7:15 o'clock. She knew nothing
of the identity of j. V. Mason, which is
the name the state claims was used
by Miss Blydenburgh in registering at
the hotel.
There was some controversy as
to wether - " Mason" was as
signed to room 20 or room 40. Dick
inson occupied room 10. which WIKI
room 20, adjoins the bathroom from
where access can be had to either.
Mrs. Cappron says Mason was given
room 90 because room 40 was occupied
at the time. Mrs. Cappron did not see
Miss Blydenburgh after she came In to
use the telephone at II o'clock in -he
morning.
