you to hear the whole story. / am
willing to assume the responsibility
of having the state hear everything
we've got. I'm willing to put all the
cards on the table. Your district. at
torney here has heard only one side.
They believe it, we the opposite, and
now want the court to hear the
whole"

Testimony of the Rescuer.
The testimony, given by DIR. Reith
and Deputy Otto, given earlier before
the state closed its case, follows:
Son this certain night" said DR..
Reith, II was out riding Oh the Mil
waukee road. Just midway between
Grand avenue and Prairie avenue l
found girl running in the middle of
the road. She seemed to be pretty
much exhausted: It looked peculiar
to me and l drove on down the road
about hundred feet. Then / stopped,
got out and stood on the running
board and looked back. She came
running towards me and seemed again
greatly exhausted. / helped her get
in the car and started to drive north,
but she screamed, Don't go north!'
swung the car then on the Milwaukee
road, having to back up several times
to turn and started for town. I
stopped on Prairie avenue at small
store, expecting to telephone and sum-
mon help. But the girl insisted that
she didn't want her name dragged in
to it, so at her request I left her at
the corner of Prairie and Rowland
avenues"
Mr.. Barnett asked the witness if he
could identify the girl sitting in the
courtroom, the com planning witness in
the Chafee case, as the girl Of that
night.
"I've seen this young lady some
where before" said DR.. Reith, ssper-
haps in the streets of Kenosha. But
! don't think can positively identify
her as the girl of that night"
"Did she tell you what happened
that night ?" asked the examiner.
"Yes, she said that she had driven
up the road with young man and
parked in driveway, and that a man
had stepped up to the car with a gun
and a fashlight in his hand. She
said that he forced the man to go and
that he dragged her into a field. She
said that she broke loose and ran
down the road. Her clothes were
messed up, her hair was messed up,
and she appeared to be greatly ex-
hausted. 1t was about $3.50 o'clock or
little later. 1t was in the month of
May as / recall, it seems to me it
was more nearly the 18th than the
GOTH"
"Did she say she know the man?'
asked Mr.. Barnett.
eyes," answered DIR. Reith, "she
siad that she could positively iden-
tify him"
Nick Otto Last Witness.
Deputy Sheriff Nicholas Otto fixed
the date exactly as the goth of May by
reference to his daily note book in
which he made an entry at the time.
He was called as fourth and last wit
ness for the state.
Otto said that between 10 and II
o'clock of that night the man who was
with the girl came into the office
and made report, saying that at the
point of gun, man had taken his
companion, girl, away from him on
the Grand avenue road. The deputy
said that he went out with the man
to the spot he indicated but found no
one"
"Did you make any effort to find the
girl ?" the deputy ras ansked.
II did, but couldn't locate her. The
man wouldn't tell me the name of the
girl. He promised that he would bring
her down to the Office so that we
could talk with her, but he never did"
Deputy Sheriff Otto referred to his
notebook and found under date of
"5-20-25" the following note: "Girl
taken from car by man with gun" He
said he fixed the time as around 1890
because he was in the sheriff's office,
getting his. things on to go home after
an all-day ride on his motorcycle.
