HER LIFE OF LESS DRUDGERY
Buggy Riding with Brother-in-Law
Aroused Resentment.
COMPLAINANT CRoSs-ExAMINED
Appearance of Defendants Bespeak'
Lives of Toll.
ALL ARE CARRIED IN BLACK
Court Room at waukeEan, ILL.,,
where Case from VoIo IL Being
Tried. Crowded.

wAUREGAN, ILL.,, Dec. S-Nirs. Minnie
Richardson. who testified yesterday to
having been ridden on a rail by six of
her woman neighbors OF the hamlet OF
Volo, near here, was cross-examined
today.
Mrs Richardson testified that the ac-
ton of the women, assisted by one man,
was prompted by envy. Her husband, al
though a cripple, keeps the general store
at Volo, and his wife was spared some of
the drudgery of her neighbors and is
said to have shone brightest among them
regarding dress.
In connection with this allegation it
was observed that while the six woman
defendants, every detail OF whose ap-
pearance bespoke lives of toll, were
gaIbed in uncompromising black. the
complainant's attire was relieved by a
few ribbons and gaudy comb in her
hair
/, Among the incidents which aroused the
resentment Of the other women of Volo
was the buggy riding OF Mrs. Richardson
with her brother-in-law, william Dunill.
Where Dunill is the prosecution does not
know. He has not been seen in Volo
since the night in which his sister-in-law
PLAYED so prominent and humliating a
part.
The court room was crowded and many
persons we're unable to get inside.
John Richardson crippled husband of
the woman who was ridden on a rail,
testified that small town gossip was re-
sponsfble for wrecking his home.
The six women defendants smiled, when
the husband hobbled from the side of
his pretty wife TO the witness chair, but
their mirth disappeared as he told
his story. II was a simple story OF love
and trust and loyalty, there was neither
malice nor resentment in It.
II don't know why they sossiped about
my wife. unless II was because she was
pretty" said the witness. we were
happy together. l was helpless; l am
cripple and j could not move from my
chair when they took her and put her
on rail"

In the partnership Of hus-

Crawford Appears
to Lead in Dakota

PIERRE, S. D., Dec. 3.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The senatorial situation as shown
by returns of names OF republican COM
mitteemen from large number OF the
counties of the state, shows up with a
majority list very likely for the return Of
Senator Crawford, but with an active
minority in that committee not in har-
mony with that idea, some of the opposi-
ton, especially from the northern part
of the state, ,-being for c. A. Howard of
Aberdeen and others for anyone except
Crawford, but the Crawford following
will without much doubt be strong enough
to control the majority list.
In the minority selections, the lineup
will go to Congressman Burke practically
solidly in case he will accept a nomina-
tion to tho senate after his withdrawal
from the field last September, and II not
for Burke, for some OF the prominent
old line stalwarts OF the state. For gov
ernor, the majority list is strongly for
Governor Byrne so far as 1t has been
developed by reports here, number of
the anti-Crawford' committeeman express
ing their intention Of supporting the gov
ernor for denomination, and no opposition
in that direction appears so far as the
majority is concerned.
The old line democrats of the state
think they have won several points in
their opposition to Ed. s. Johnson for
the senate, as they secured both ma
iority and minority delegates against
him, not only in his home county OF
Yankton. but in several other south
eastern counties, and they will fight the
regular Organization back of Johnson at
the January meeting.
