man.

part VI LUCKY BALDWIN, HllilOuS II
still going on in the courts at Los
Angeles. The coast files tell the
story in part as follows:
! LOS ANGELES, December 49,
/ Through a day crowded with sensation
and revelation, Mrs. Lillian Ashley
Turnbull sat on the stand as witness
J in the suit brought by her daughter
! seventeen-year-old Beatrice Anita
Baldwin, for a S2,500O0O share of the
| $11,000000 left by Lucky" Baldwin
Throughout one of the most dra-
matte examinations ever conducted in
| California court the veil was torn
bit by bit from the hidden pasts OF
both Lucky" Baldwin and the woman
who has come forward after his death
with the claim that she was his wife
The rending of the veil laid bare Mrs
Turnbull's relations with the old turf
man, tawdry story which the court
by excluding her from the room, saved
the daughter the humiliation of hear
ing. 1t laid bare, too, Lucky" Bald
wins craze for romance, for love adj
ventures and revealed him as senti-
mentalist of purest ray,
The sentimentalism of Baldwin
showed all through Mrs. TurnbulPs
story On several dinner occasions
she said he wore boutonnieres, and
each time he gave them to her, telling
her to preserve them. She did, and
they were introduced to the jury
today Pictures which he had taken
of her at the time of the alleged mar
rage also were introduced in evil
dence,
Mrs. Turnbull, whose testimony ne
cessarily is the framework upon which
the case of her daughter must be
reared, took the stand with dignity
and sat mildly awaiting the first ques-
ton of her attorney, Walter B. Grant
| of Boston She answered evenly
| pleasantly. She spoke of the church
she used to attend of the Vermont
farm, of bereavements, of friends.
Then her girlhood passed. Enter
E. J. Baldwin. Quickly the recital
came to the time she was established
as she said she believed as his wife
Then followed the wondrous, strange
events in her new career-the mag
nificent apartments at her disposal
the delightful trip the entertain
ments, the affection of man VINO
studied how to delight her
She showed the jurors gifts ant
| mementoes saved from that dazzling
period of her life-a bouquet OF fadeo
| flowers culled from the Santa ANITA
ranch which she had worn at the de-
| lightful little suppers they enjoyed TO-
gether, a wedding ring, ball, photos
one sentimentally touched up with
| water colors.
Her story as brought out by Attor-
ney Grant covered fully her life with
Baldwin in San Francisco, at his San
| ia Anita estate and at Coronado,Where
they spent honeymoon for week
At Coronado, she said, the sixty-five'
year-old horseman danced with her and
other women with more grace anc
agility than many youths of twenty.
| At the Santa Anita ranch in the
San Gabriel valley, near here, she
said that Baldwin treated her as his
wife, although at his dictation she hat
registered at his hotel there as Miss
| Lillian Ashley.
1t was there also, according to hel
story, that she told Baldwin of the in
teresting event she expected. They
were in Santa Anita canyon, she said
and added, "He seemed glad and TOLD
me thai if the baby was boy
should name him Elias Jackson Bald
win Jr. If it was girl he insisted
that it should be named Anita. Tha
is why the name Anita is borne by my
daughter"
Still Wears Wedding Ring.
Mrs Turnbull wore plain gol(
ring on the third finger of her RICH
hand, which she said Baldwin hat
given her as wedding ring after theil
return from San Diego. This ring
she said, she had worn constantly OF
the third finger of her left hand unit
her marriage to DR.. Turnbull of Bos
ton. Then it was transferred to its
position to give place for the circle
presented by the physician
According to the evidence that is
being brought out at the trial the at
torneys for the defense seem to be
getting Mrs. Turnbull into some pre-
ty tight places but she is putting VI
the hardest kind of a fight for a por.
ton of the millions for the benefit Of
| hnr oil, I.
