opened today when a cross-bill in
equity was filed in the circuit court
by Attorneys Fee and Slater for Mrs.
Emma Zeuske against August Zeuske

Zeuske farm, north OF Pendleton, is
the bone of contention in this case.

his wife and young son, prior to his
death in June, 1908 Soon after that
time August Zeuske, brought suit
against Mrs Emma zeuske, widow of
his son. demanding possession of the
farm. The widow fought the case,
that her deceased husband
had purchased the place from her

cision and denied the petition for a
new trial. The filing of the cross-bill

Paris, Nov. 6.-Mme Steinheil is
passing the crisis today Eighty seven
witnesses have been summoned and
are endeavoring to prove the woman
guilty, and every accusation is being
seized by the court as further oppor-
tunity for bulldozing. Another VIC
tory was won today when Remy
Couillard, her husbands valet, testi-
fled to finding the woman lightly
bound indicating that she could have
done it herself. The defense pro-
duced written statement made by
him Immediately following the trage-
dy, in which he swore she was tightly
bound, and that it was Impossible to
do it herself.
Witness Becomes Confused.
Before Cuillard left the stand he
was cross examined and before this
process was finished the witness was
stammering his replies and was bad
ly confused. After Cuillard left the
stand the deposition of NJ. Lecoq. now
in America, was read to the jury. and
it corroborated Cuillards original
statement that Nine. Steinheil could
not have tied herself. Lacoq was the
first man to answer Couillard's cries
for help following the discovery of the
Nine. Steinheil was greatly
pleased with the deposition, and the
spectators apparently rejoiced with
her. Today has been a good one for
the woman and she is in good spirits
and confident of acquittal.
Bears Up Wonderfully.
Throughout the inquisition Nine
is bearing up wonderfully.
She is being called upon to explain
very trivial incident brought out in

manner which is winning the SYM
'athy of the entire assemblage. The |
pectators are indignant at the bully
ng tactics of the prosecutors and the
themselves are aghast at
ines at the manner in which she
their sneers and jeers. They
re making a helpless attempt to
reak down the testimony.
