stand late I'm the day, and when court aaJouihy
her testimony had not been brought up to tne
actual killing. -,
For several hours Mrs. Erb parried with DIS
frfct Attorney McDade, who used every trick at ms
command to trap her into contradictlng herseH'
cantr1ne his attack upon her account of the oc-
currences on the night of the killing, MT McDd"e
faced the witness and demanded: Mrs f'rp' you
are charged here with the murder OF your nus
band Do you fully realize that?
With face flushed and eyes, fixed steadily on the
attorney the witness leaned forward IN hsr ciai
and replied. '1 fully realize 1t"
Asajn the attorney demanded that she say
whether she aided her sister in shooting captain
Erb and that she state whether she had any manu-
in the murder With growing emphasis the VII
ness declared she had in way assisted MIS-
Be,sel IN the killing of her husband ana tnat she
wss not an actual party to the murder
That she had permitted her sister 10 struesie
single handed with her angry husband. the WITNESS
declared was due to the fact that she was aiIdlu
of hi1n-that she had been made coward oy ms
abuse. Effort was made to wiring from her al
missions that she had associated with several men
and that they had visited her home in the absence
Of Captain Erb but the District Attorney met with
little success.
The witness was permitted to leave the stand
after the District Attorney, I'm tone of whitening
sarca sm asked: "And you lost your nerve; you,
skilled fox hunter and horsewoman; you lost your
nerve for once?'
Unaffected by his tone. Mrs Erb calmly replied,
ST did,"
Following Mrs. Erb, Mrs. Elizabeth Grey
housekeeper at Red Gables; Sarah Hogan, a maid;
Blanche Dickerson. negro servant; Emma jack
son. a waitress, and other servants were called TO
corroborate Mrs. Erbs stories of brutal treatment
at the hands of her husband, and much was
brought out to strengthen her story.
Mrs Beisei was the last witness, and began a
recital of the family troubles and quarrels that led
I'D to the shooting OF Captain Erb She declared
that the murdered man was guilty of extreme bru-
taity and he let his anger fail upon either her
or Mrs Erb If they ventured to oppose or critcise
him.
Once Mrs. Bese said. when she asked Captain
Erb why ne did not want her to visit her sister. he
replied ~ don't want any beggars around here
When Mrs. Erb demonstrated with him for such
utterances ne ran at her and choked her almost
into insensIbility.
Mrs. Bese still the stand when court ad-
journed. She will resume the story OF the tragedy
