"I had occasion to be around the
house a great deal, milking COWS
ETC.; I have heard things out of the
way between the girl and Mrs
Wright; many times they appeared to
be fighting; in July, about or 4,

voice; she screamed; heard Mrs
Wright; she was scolding; heard
sounds as If the girl was being pound
ed; afterwards hearl lots of quar-
rels; on one occasion 1 heard Mrs
Wright say If you had any of my
blood in you, would. kill you on the
spot;' she threw her out of the
house.
Re.Cross
} "They were quarreHng at time Mrs
} Wright made the threat to kill; Beau
lah after being thrown out of house
sat down beside house; do not know
what trouble was about; Beaulah re-
fused to do certain things as long as
she was mistreAted; was outside the
house, they were inside; saw NO
marks on the girl; she was crying;
Mrs. Wright did not seem angry; saw
nothing out of way at noon; would
hate to be in such row myself:
noticed on one side of Beaulah's s
head her hair was pulled out; quar-
rels were not small affairs; Beaulah
never quarreled; never heard Mrs
Wright complain of Beaulah being
out; heard her forbid her going out;
seven men were present at time Beau
lah was put out of the house (witness
gave the names); it was about a
m.-breakfast time; never saw any
marks of violence on Beaulah.

Beaulah told me Mrs. Wright took
hold Of her hair one day and pulled
1t out; Beaulah told me she was going
to leave Mrs. Wright next day and
asked me to take her clothes over tc
Wonderlich's; she gave as a reason
for going that she was mistreated;
Beaulah received letter that day from
mother saying her father was dead;
eBaulah requested me to keep the let
ter for her, as If Mrs. Wright saw II
she would pound her out OF the
house; was to have taken Beaulah's
clothes away for her next morning;
when did not see Beaulah in the
4 morning I went on to the train as ]
had little time and supposed she had
changed her mind
I Much time was consumed in object
ing to questions by the defense, and
there were several tilts between coun.

Many Quarrels
i ]. Logue, half owner of the farm
on which Mrs. Wright was employed
as housekeeper, was next called to
tas stand. He testified having seen
Mrs. Wright and the girl quarrel a
great deal, but that they never came
to blows in his presence. He said
that he had been about the place a
great deal.
\ The testimony of Henry King
Logue's partner, was along the same
line. He swore positively that the
girl was alive at $3.50 on the morning
of the. day she died. He said that he
had to pass through her room after
arising in the morning.
Mrs. Begel, a neighbcr, was called
and told of the marks on the face OF
the dead girl, also of the discoloratior
that had been told of by other wit.
i neEses. At this point the inquest
II was adjourned until this morning.
