do some work in the dining room
for her, and | did it. While she
held a light for me and when it
was done she set the lamp on the
dining room table, rhen ! took
hold of her hand and held it for
minute or two and then raised
it to my lips and kissed it twice.
SO she seemed to appreciate
what | did, so ! pulled her TO me,
so we embraced and kissed for II
long time, and she asked me
who did | love best, and told
her that | loved my children best
and her next. (Now this may

TO be frequent and we passed

and after the days got long we
would meet in the cooks bed

we would talk about the mistake

Blames the Woman.

For his wife's death he cody
blames no one but herSely. What
manner Of morals Watson can
claim, in the light Of his quickly
written confession, which ran
easily from his pencil, without
alteration, except where he
scratched out parts that Mrs
Bailey objected to, can be mag
med by the reader.
Watson 5 confession was the
result Of Sheriff Flournoy's driv-
ing home to the murderer the
fact that the motive for his kill
ing of Bailey, in the known init
macy between Watson and the
woman, and in all the clearing up
of the murder mystery, the di-
recting hand of that official is
traced, Acting on the insistence
of Deputy Coon Sullivan that
Watson be held, after the first
sitting of the coroner's jury had
almost recommended his release,
it was the sheriff who demanded
a warrant from the district at
torney for Mrs, Bailey's arrest,
and who CLEANED from the neigh
bors of Bailey and Watson the
circumstances that proved the
motive for the crime This, to-
gether with Deputy Hughes
rapid battering of the woman

together story Of the crime as
the authorities believed it to have
been staged, wiped out every
vestige of Watson 5 cleverly con,

Now about myself. | don t
remember ever doing anything
that suited my wife. After we
had been masried three months
she would not speak kind to me
at all. She would not keep the
house clean nor treat my friends
nice nor fix my food so that it
was lit to eat. SO she drove me
out of society, away from the
church and into some bad habits
These things are true, for | am
making this to die by. Among
other things she almost dragged
me to death, till | caught her.
She would talk about me shame
fully and some of my friends had
told me about it, For six years
| have hated her and just put
up with her ways TO try to raise
my babies.
| earned So to S125 a month
and tried TO get her to be good
to me by letting her have it all
to use as she pleased, but this
made her worse. So Mrs. Bal
ley saw all this and would say at
times / was too good man to be
treated that way, and / had made
up my mind to quit her. About

this.

not to tell, but she broke down,

September j, 1912.
On the second page of the
confession which Watson insist
ed should be read by Mrs. Bal
ley before he would sign it, a
line was scratched in pencil
through that part telling of
giving him special piece of
turkey.
Attached to the written pages
is another page ON which this
detail, and other, which follow
are signed by Watson with the
notation II will eliminate the
above This was because Mrs.
Baily objected TO that part of his
confession and he expressed his
willingness to take 1t out for her

up as much as possible and ct
take the blame on himself
