the letters show of Mrs. D. Brown" He
addressed letters to her in his name. and
he went East in July and returned in
August; and when he returned in August
he refused TO talk upon the subject of
marriage. He kept going TO this woman
and leading her along; he kept her as his
bondwoman, but he would not fulfill his
promises.
This must have tortured her. This must
have been a strain under which she was
living. This must have affected her mem
tally She was desperate at this time;
and she went down TO Salt Lake City. But
after a while, and later in the year, he
cheered her up by proposing that they
should both go 10 GOldfield. mining
camp in the state of Nevada, which is one
of the wonders of the present age; that
he would open up law office there. and
they would be married, and they would
start life anew, and they would do what
was right; and he told her TO prepare FOR
it. And all through the month of Sep
TENDER, believing once more in him, she
made the preparations that housewife
would make for the opening up of new
home in that mining camp of Nevada
She worked, and she was happy IN her
work.
Violates Goidfield Promise.
Brown went down to Washington and
when he came back there was evidences
that he proposed to violate his promise to
go to Goldfeld- He postponed the con-
sheraton of the matter from day TO day,
and left everything uncertain, until the
woman. in desperation, on the night Of
the 18th of November. went TO his house
and told him she proposed TO remain there
in the house with him until he told her
what he intended to do. For two or three
days she remained there, when by his
subterfuge he got her out He sent and
got the children out and brought them to
the office fOOling away the time while
he got the children out of the house by
reading 10 her from the Bible and read
ing poetry. Then he turned upon her and
asked her would she steal his house again?
She went to the house again and finally
he convinced her that he would Eot do
that which was right when she left the
house. Then she went to her sister and
talked with her. Then she conceived the
idea that she would go to Nevada herself
and open a stationery store at Goldfield,
for the purpose or starting her life anew.
She did not ask much of him. What had
he received? He had received her virtue.
He had her love- he had her devotion.
She talked with him and he said he
would give her $3.50 and would stand good
for $50 worth of goods. She ventured out
with Livingston and went to the stores.
Once more there was ray of hope, be-
cause there was going to be a chance for
her TO support herself and her children in
an honorable way.
We find that She had made all her
that she had looked at
IypSWIlIeIS ana SLdllOnery Win which TO
stock her store, and that then again he
said to her he would not carry out mis-
promise.
Wanders Around Browns Home.
About that time it was that the night
Waterman, Rowan, saw her as she went
up the steps Of Browns house. She said
her name was Mrs. Brown and that she
thought it was strange she could not
go into her own house. She asked if
she might not sit down the faOrch
and she sat herself there with her head
bowed. The night was rainy, and she
held her head in somewhat from the rain.
After a while she rang the electric bell
night Waterman said he saw her walk
around the house there; that two nights
afterwards he saw her back of the house,
when she walked up to the kitchen win
dow and stopped for five minutes and
listened; that she said she wanted to
hear his voice. So inSidiOuSiy had he
wrapped himself about her that she was
there on that night, with mind diseased,
seeking to hear his voice. Then she
came around towards the front; that
twice she made a complete circuit of
the house; at the end of the second cir
cult she began to throw stones against
the house, and Rowan would knock them
out of her hand. She said she did Z
because she wanted TO disturb Senator
nights sleep. Rowan testifies that he
asked he If she had gun, and she said
she had, and it was for Senator Brown
He said to her; You would not use it
and she replied: IF they come between
me and him, when ] get ready,
because l am a vicious woman" He says
that she was pleasant all the time and
laughing all the time. She slid over the
Brigham Young retaining wall and then
said You see I am down. and she
laughed. That night she was not acting
like a sane woman. They say that she

Washington; that she was able to look
ahead to that awful day in the Raleigh
hotel; that she was able to discover that
in December, 1907, she would need proof
Of this kind. They say that she went
up there and wandered about there on
that rainy night so as to be prepared
with her defense. 1t is a ridiculous argu-
ment The woman at that time was
received. Was it not enough to drive
ner mad? Many and many a time a
nan goes mad simply because in some
whirl in Wall street there has been TAX
en- from him a fortune, that may be re-
gained in another day. Do you wonder
hat this woman was driven mad when |
here had been taken from her every |
thing that is dear to woman; when there |
had been taken from her that which she |
Gould not regain though she strive to
the end of her life?
