Annie Smith, star witness for the peo-
pie In the conspiracy case against Po-
lice Commissioner Fred w. Smith,
Capt Newberry and Frank B. Hibbler,
appeared in the police court half an
hour before she was needed, Monday
morning, ready TO submit herself once
more TO the hot cross-examination or
Attorney Allan Frazer. Annie was all
smiles as she resumed the stand at
1915.
Mrs Smith, did your attorney re-
port TO you that Judge Jeffries would
promise you immunity If you would
tell this story?" Mr.. Frazer began.
Mr.. Yerkes objected and the ques-
ton, in that form, was ruled out.
Did any one offer you any i'm
munity? Do you know what that
means?"
please explain" parted the wit
ness.
Did any one tell you you would not
be sent 10 prison If you told this
story?"
No immunity offered
NO promises of any kind were
made TO me-"
That Is ALL
Attorney James o. Murfn, represent
ing Commissioner Smith, then took
the witness.
DO you know the meaning OF an
OATH" was his first question.
Yes"
What is your nance"
Annie Smith"
Murfin then flashed the files In An
ME Smiths divorce case. In which her
name appeared as Cornelia Walters
and that OF her former husband as
George J. Walters.

demanded Muffin, holding up the di
vorce paper
Il was known by both names"
What was your husbands name? ?"
u. j. Walters"
But you swore in this bill that il
was George G.. Walters. Which is
right"
Annie explained that Walters. too
used both names. He adopted the
name Smith later, and she followed
his example.
by whom were you married In
p'tffalo?" Murfin went on.
BY a priest"
Then why did you swear in this
divorce bill that you were married by
a Lutheran minister"
We'll, | call him priest. l didn't
know what he was"
why are you trying to deceive the
court about your past life, woman"
Annie did not answer directly.
Annie testified that she was married
to Walters in 1902. The divorce bill
gave the year as 1892
We'll. which It is. When were you
married." insisted Muffin.
"Ninety-two."
1892"
Yes, sir.
Annie Explains.
When Annie's attention was called
to the discrepancy In testimony dur
ing recess she said that her marriage

took place five or six years ago, which
would make the date 1902 She had
evidently been confused on the stand.
When she said "ninetytwo" she meant
1902, she said
How old were you when you were
married TO Walters?"
twenty-five.
why did you swear when you APP
piled for marriage license that you
were 25?"

she was living with Walters. but
she was not his Wife
Then, when he got through with
her, you lived with him.
Il was married to him"
Were you not an inmate OF a dis
orderly place in Buffalo,"
IL bet you can't prove It,"
Then Annie proceeded 10 emphati'
cally deny the allegation.

only to visit
"Oh, only TO visit eh?"
Annie Was Trained Nurse.

nurse In a Protestant orphan asylum
In Buffalo.

Murfin next took up Annie's visit to
the office Of George p. Codd, when
che claims 10 have engaged hi mas her
attorney In one OF the cases instigated
by Coulson.
Now who sent you TO Codd?' he
asked
"Hibbler and Newberry

charges, Nov. Is.
Fails to Rattle Witness
The defense says 1t has witnesses
to prove that Annie's visit TO Codd
office was previous to the entrance OF
Hibbler on the scene and before she
knew Hibbler at all, which would dis
credit her statement that Hibbler and
NewDerry sent her to Codd Mr.
Murfin was unable 10 rattle Annie or
these points. however.
The Detroit times., 1908-05-26

Annie again explained why she dis
pensed with Colds services as attor'
ney. saying that while she had paid
Codd the price he demanded on the
supposition that he would look after
her case himself, he sent his clerk, Mr..
Goldman, to represent her. She denied
that the reason Codd withdrew as her
attorney was because she was charged
with being a disorderly woman.
Mr.. Murfin eagerly grasped every
opportunity that presented itself or
popped into his head as the examina.
ton proceeded, TO trap the witness into
some admission that would tend TO
discredit her testimony but Annie
was wary. He asked her II she had
not testified in the Favor case that
she had marked down In a book her
various gifts TO the detective.
Il did not say book Annie re-
Piled. Il said | had marked them
down
Murfin produced her testimony in
the Favor case, and read;
II marked them down In book"
Il suppose the stenographer made
a mistaken" he queried.
Il suppose So"
Then Annie explained that she re-
garded the sheet that had been intro.
duced in evidence, showing her gifts
TO Newberry and Favor. as her
book"
Isn't II a fact that you have told
us this story that is in the record here
to get out OF serving time In the house
OF correction" asked Muffin a little
later.
Paying for False Promises.
NO" was Annie's prompt rejoinder.
Il did this because | was paying for
false promises"
Why haven't they tried that case
OF yours?"
Some of my witnesses were out of

of the mainstays of the local lodge.
After prayer at the home the cor
tege proceeded to the Methodist
church, where Rev. I. E. Thuresson
preached sermon filled with comfort
and helpfulness. The church was
we'll filled with sorrowing friends snd
large number accompanied the re
mains to Oakland cemetery where in
terment was made with the beautiful
ritual of the Redmen, the loosing of
the pure white dove, symbolizing the
re- urn of the spirit to the Great
Spirit who is above.
Among the relatives called here by
this great bereavement were R. E.
Winters, of Parker, S. D., Mr.. and
Mrs. L. j. C. Disburg of Tomah.

That was a royal game of ball
which was played at Denison on the
day of the old settlers picnic. The
clubs hailed from Denison and Dow
City. The visitors put Jacobsen of
Ute, in for pitcher. and Rudd. Of
Dow City behind the bat. For Deni-
son, Faul and Ballard were at the
points. Jerry O'Conner. of East
Bower. was one umpire and Mr.. But
terworth, of Dow City, the other. 1t
was ten inning game. the score
finally favoring Deniscn a to 8. The
spectators were much excited anc
cheered their favorites. Faul and
Gary did good work for the home
team.

THEIR GREAT NEBRASKA TOUR.
The Denison Base Ball Boys Back From
Series Of Canes in Northern Nebraska.

While the Denison team did not re-
turn with as many games as enthusi-
astic friends might wish, yet when
all is considered our boys have much
to be proud over. They were pitted
for twelve games with the best play
ers to be obtained along the Eikhorn
road, and at some points players from
Omaha we're hired to beat them. So
the result of five games won and
seven lost was most creditable. The
boys had varying receptions. At
some towns they were treated like
gent . nent. by the home club and cit
liens; and at other. the stories of ill
usage are to mean to print.
The Denison battery did not fail to
make good. Little Faul was strong
enough for the best of teams and he
was we'll supported behind the bat by
Gary and Ballard. Brace beat in the
game he pitched at Stanton. and
Grimes showed it was no mistake
having him along. Denison had a
great advertisement, and did not lose
in prestige by the trip. The follow
ing is the results in games played:
Blair, Denison /, Blair 2.
Wisner, Denison 5. Wisner 8.
Beemer, Denison 9, Beemer a.
West Point, Denison 6, West
Point 3.

Those who saw the home team
playing on ''Old Settlers Day" fully
realized that the Denison boys. were
experts and that if they did not sweep
the, board clean. it was not because
they were not good players.
