ON
WITNESS
STAND

The defense in the case of the
state againts Belle Johnson, &C
cused of murder in the first de-
gree, rested at IL o'clck this morn
ing.
The woman this morning is
much nearer a physical collapse
than she has been at any time
since her trial has been in prog
ress. When her husband was call
ed to the stand this morning, she
fell forward onto the table Sob
bing, but as soon as she began to
speak she Strengthened up and
leaned back on Col. Doolittle's
chair.
Johnson testified that he did not
know of any improper relations
between Hall and his wife. Then
after testifying that he had taught
his wife all she knew about shot
gun, the witness was turned over
to the state.
At this time Prosecutor Bur-
meister announced that he wanted
to make the husband a witness for
the state, but this was objected to-
and the husband was excused.
Appears Unconcerned.
There was very little in his de-
meanor while on the stand to in
dicate the frame of mind the man
is in, for all the time he was tes-
tifying he was chewing gum with
and apparent unconcern as if he
were in his own home.
When he returned to the table
where he has been seated con-
stantly during the trial his wife
fondled him lovingly, and there
seemed to be no doubt that II
was reciprocated.
At this point the defense rest
ed and the state started with Its
rebuttal testimony.
In all likelihood the attorneys
will begin their arguments late
this afternoon or possibly tomor'
row.

Her name was Smith, plain
Smith. She knew her place. She
was an English servant woman of
the type that serves one mistress,
with a service utterly whole
hearted and unselfish, from the
time she is old enough to work
at all until she is too old to work
any more-or gets married.
The trouble with Smith was
she was young and very pretty.
But she knew her place. So when
Tom Freeman, the masters broth
er-in1law, came back from ten
year stay ON his South African
ranch and proposed marriage to
Smith, the gira burst into tears
and said she would have to give
notice at once. She quote cooks
opinion, that it wasn't proper for
a girl to stay In house after one
of the gentlemen had made love
to her. H@l-f
Smith thought Freeman was
joking. Perhaps he was, partial
ly. He wanted a wife for his
lonely ranch. Perhaps. when he
looked at Smiths rosy health and
strong body his thoughts uncon-
sciously ran to the cattle he bred.
Anyhow he asked he. and she re-
fused him cold and signified her
intention of giving notice.
But Smith didn't leave. For
Freeman said no more of love or
marriage. But ihe liked to have
her wait on hdm so he could watch
her. He found her refreshing
after the jaded brtdge-fends of
women who gathered each day in
the London home of Freeman s
sister, Mrs Dallas Baker.
Bridge was their passion and
their religion. They hAted any
thing that interrupted the game.

Sim Yee, a grinning celestial,
stood in federal court this morn
ing and looked blank.
Then an interpreter mouthed q
lingo in chop suey vernacular. and
Sim frightened little, but look-
ed worried.
The interpreter explained tho
situation, that he was charged
with smuggling opium into the
country.
Sim caught a glimmer of the
idea, but he was not satisfied.
He wants to know whether he
will go to jail If he says guilty,
said the interpreter.
The court looked stumped. He
finally admitted that Sim stood
a good chance of landing in
limbo.
Then Sim was more undecided
than ever. He shifted from one
foot to the other and grinned
grin that would melt a bronze
statute, but he hesitated to say
the key word and the court final
ly got tire.

til Monday" said the court, and
