Says He Saw whitmore, Hit Wife.
Joseph Harry Hendrickson, Mrs.
Whitmore's alleged intimate friend,
said that he nae known Whitmore for
four and a half years, but that he
had not seen him for nearly two years.
He was asked if he had ever had trou-
BILE with Whitmore. He said he had
on December u. He said he saw him
at his train and told him that he was
going away and wanted nothing more
TO do with him or his wife. Hendrick-
son wanted him to settle. Whitmore
told him to go to his house and wait
for him.
II rode up and down in his train for
him three or four times and then went
to Brooklyn said the witness. II
went to the Adams street house"
when you said hat you did not
want anything more to do with him,
what did Whitmore say?" asked Mr..
Vickers.
II intended to go away myself"
about 4 o'clock when 1 saw him."
continued H~endrickson, "he came In
at that time before the close of his
days work. I vas sitting in the
kitchen and Mrs. Whitmore in the
front room. Whitmore walked in and
said to Mrs, Wh1tmore;
e. you, I'll Kill you!s Then he hit
her three or four times. Then he turned
TO me as 1 vas coming through the door
and hit me across the face.

him. but he went out. l followed him"
Mr.. Vickers-Had he said anything
to you before that in New York?
Ale said he didn't want Lena my

Ale hit me two or three times.
often Mrs. whitmore's Escort.
Hendrickson sal this was the last
time that he had seen Mrs. Whitmore
alive. This was December Il.
He also said that Whitmore a been
at his house frequently and had an
noyed his mother by saying that he
(Hendrickson) a been going about
with his wife.
Under cross-examination Hendrick-
son said that he had first met Mrs.
Whitmore when introduced by Whit
more. He said that he he a gone out
frequently with Mrs. Whitmore. He
declared neither Whitmore nor Mrs.
Whitmore had ever given him money,
but he said he had occupied a furnished
room with Mrs. Whitmore.
He said he knew Lillian Heidel, who
was a chum of Mrs. Whitmore, and
that when he followed Whitmore out of
the house on the day of the quarrel,
Whitmore told him that he had better
go back and get her, that he (Whit-
more) didn't want her any more.
That ended his testimony.
Lillian Heidel was next called to the
stand. Her hair was deliberately mar
celled. She denied that she was ever
known as Lillian Yaylor and declared
that she had always been known as
Mrs. Heidel. She gave her address at
131 Lawrence street, Brooklyn. She
said:
Afraid of WhitmOre.

Mrs. Whitmore came to my house and
remained until about 7:30 o'clock the
following morning. She said that she
was afraid of Whitmore.
"She asked me to go with her the
next morning. L went to Concord and
Adams streets with her where we met
Whitmore. I left them together. Whit
more came to the house December 26.
He asked me if I knew where Lena
was. I old him that I thought she was

Elliott denied absolutely writing the
famous Lena" telegram to Mrs.
Schmitters about her taking care of
Mrs. Whitmore's trunks. He was ques-
toned as to the amount of money IN
the bank book. and he said that 1t
