stored to her.
l.. X. Wieser, now employed in
the Milwaukee car repair shops,
Tacoma, who boarded for three
months with the Fletchers in Har-
lowton in 1876, swears that
they whipped the girl at least
twice a week while he was there.

Wieser describes Fletcher's
coming home crazy drunk" and
raising his fist to strike Mrs.
Fletcher, who had the little girl
in her arms.
Wieser, called by Mrs. Flecher's
screams. caught Fletcher by the
throat, he says, and prevented him
from striking them.
Joseph X. Jeffrey, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church in
Harlowton, testifies that Fletcher
was generally known to be a
drinking man and that there was
much talk in the neighborhood
concerning his conduct and the
treatment given the child
Put Spool i'm Mouth.
Mrs. Marie Capser, wife of
Laurie C. Casper, who owned the
house which the Fletchers rent
ed in Harlowton, and who lived
next door to them, says on one oc-
casion Mrs. Fletcher whipped
Helen cruelty while the child had
nothing on but a nightgown, the
reason for the punishment appar-
emily being that she caught the
child biting her fingernails.
The affidavit of her husband,
Laurie c. Casper, also tells how
both Fletcher and his wife con-
stantly spanked and whipped the
little girl cruelty without occa-
sion. Wiser told him once, he
relates, that the Fletchers had tied
a spool in Helen's mouth to keep
her from gritting her teeth.

Edward Jensen, driver for a Ia
coma tea and coffee dealer, swears
that about month ago when he

ing, that "It's the damndest coffee
ever had in the house, and
| don't want any more of your
damned old coffee"
You needn't damn the coffee

Jensen says he replied, and Mrs.
Fletcher, almost hysterical with
anger, told him, he alleges, to "get
to hell out of here"

guilty to threatening to do bodily
