This morning Mrs. Turnbull faced
the onslaught and was calm al
though the questions hurled at her
frequently made other women in the

This afternoon. she apparently by
agreement of counsel, was treated
with more consideration and she
started to heckle them in return.

the jury that Mrs. Turnbull had not

taken by Mrs. Turnbull regarding the
paternity of Beatrice A. TurnbulL

Albert Pope to be the father of her
child.
Mrs. Turnbull declared the name
of Pope was forged and what she did
swear was that Baldwin was tho
father of her child and she was mar
ried to Baldwin by contract prior to
entering the marriage relation with
him. McNab asked her why her
memory was SO Clear on things that
favor her and so bad as to things
that do not. To this she replied that
shame had burned some things on
my memory, then too there are
things a woman never forgets."
