that morning made his way to$Derrick
and took the train from there. After
|aihe got to Derrick event to dakota
and from there returned to the King
farm. He testified that he heard
MRS. Wright say this spring that if
the girl had any of her blood in her
she would kill her and throw her out
l'of the house. Beulah told Miller that
she wanted to leave Mrs. Wright as
she had been mistreated and that Mrs.
Wright had pulled out her hair and
had pounded her frequently. ! It was
about this time that she received the
letter from her mother in Indiana tell
Fling her of the death of her father and
Fshe gave this letter to Miller, who put
Fit in his pocket.
Martin Logue one of the partners of
I the King farm, was then called to the
stand and testified to the following:
He has known Mrs. Wright since last
April and lived in the room adjoining
the one occupied by Mrs. Wright and
her daughter and that the partition
between the room was but heavy pa
per covered over with other paper and
that the partition did not extend to
the ceiling, that there was not a door
on the room but that the two rooms
were separated by hanging curtains.
He was home most of the time and
spent considerable time in his room,
and on account of Mrs. Wright and
her daughter occupying the next room
very frequently heard the two quar-
reling. Mrs. Wright told him not to
mail anything for the girl that she
might give him and if she gave him
letter that he should bring It back to
her Was home the night of the death
of the girl and got up next morning
quite early. King and himself occu-
I pied the same room and he did not
I hear Beulah when she came home that
T night nor did he hear Mrs Wright get
up the next morning. After getting
up and having breakfast he drove to
I the station at Derrick with King and
got back about o'clock. After enter
| ing the house went through Beulahs
room on going to his but did not notice
whether she was in bed or not He
! then went out of the room about -
! o'clock and came back into dinner
shortly afterwards and while eating
dinner Mrs. Wright went into the bed
room and said, Come here, Mr.. Logue
Beulah is dead" When he went into
the room he took hold of the hand of
the dead girl and the body was cold
She was lying with her head at the
foot of the bed. Mrs. Wright at this
time sat at the end of the bed and
held the hands of the dead girl. He
told Mrs. Wright that he would get
doctor and went to the barn and hitch
ed up and drove to Derrick and tele-
phoned to Dr. Lee at Edmore He tes-
| tilted that at the time Mrs. Wright
found the girl dead that she did not
sob or Cry or did not seem in any way
agitated He said that Beulah had
never been out as late as that even
Ing and that she usually got up as
early in the morning as her mother
and that she had to generally get meat
out of the cellar in the morning for
breakfast. Logue says that the girl
was Industrious and helped her moth
| er with all the work and was a very
sunny and happy girl.
Henry King was then sworn: Live
! at Lewiston, Idaho, but in the summer
was generally on the farm near Der
| rick. Knew Mrs. Wright since last
| April. He occupied the same room,
with Logue- He said that he thought
| the relation between Mrs Wright and
| the girl was very unpleasant Said
Mrs. Wright asked him several times
| to make Babe do so and so and he;
told her that if they did not stop their
4 quarreling that they would have to
| quit He went to bed about 9 that
evening and did not wake up until 20
minutes to the next morning. When
he came through the room where
! Babe was sleeping he noticed that she
i was faced toward the wall. When he;
! got out to the kitchen Mrs. Wright
i told him how late the girl had been
out that night and that when she:
\ came home the sleeve on her waist
was torn. He said he thought 1t
Il strange that she should tell him ali
II this and she also told him that the
girl was all played out and pretty
nearly dead. When he passed through
the room the second time he thought
he would notice Babe and see if she
looked bad after the night and when
Il he passed through the room he notic-
ed that she had turned over and was
facing the other wall. He says that
